The story of a 'System frickin' Administrator, not developer, you hear me?'
2016
Overview
Joe Schmoe is a system administrator at Acme Corp. Acme is an SMB that cranks out widgets as fast as it can. Joe strolled into the office one day after a busy weekend of the usual server maintenance to find that no one could access their mailbox. Apparently, the test environment the team was using was slightly different than the production environment, which prevented an important item to be added to the test procedure. [...]we didn't have proper testing procedures in place and forgot to check a particular configuration item that had some dangerous ramifications, as you saw. Mel thought for a second and said, \"I've heard that Exchange Server has great PowerShell scripting support and you can do a lot with scripts. Never in his 20-year career as a support person, helpdesk tech, and Windows system administrator has he ever been told he essentially wasn't good enough. Joe had no idea at the time but little did he know that that this encounter with Mel would be the spark that he desperately needed to light a fire under him to bring him into a more DevOps-focused mindset.
