I didn't get into tech because I wanted to be a developer. I didn't get into tech to be a system administrator.
I got into tech because I was an art dude and designer that got tired of tech people telling me what is and isn't possible with my ideas, so I learned it on my own. I wanted to understand systems to build the stuff I wanted to build from the ground up.
At the time, I didn't realize how valuable those skills were, but as we watch centralized systems turn on their users, I am glad I decided to read manuals, forums, and chat groups to understand how online spaces work. I'm glad I pestered people to show me the ins and out of how to set up a bare metal server.
It's turning out to be one of the best decisions young Ro has ever made.
Because it informs the opinion that we don't need any of these places. At all.
