@tyler I'm kidding, it's time well spent. Compared to the other hobby time things we waste our lifespan on it's gold. if you have a true working knowledge of these systems, good enough to build them like a 1st generation user, you'll end up with solid job security.
Sometimes high-value, critical systems need to be debugged by someone who actually knows the system well, and no AI will really have that. AI is being trained on millennial's online footprint, so all the infrastructural knowledge we really need it to have will perish in boomer's brain tissue, never to be added to the grand compendium of knowledge.
