Yeah, I interviewed for a job that required a lot of Systemd work. I crushed the practicum super hard and my genius new boss teached numa pessimization for DB load (bit if a click bait start but she hashed it out perfectly and it will come up again) before I declined on rates.

It's not that it's hard work. It's that Systemd is a bad tool; and we deserve the day of crying wreckage it will gleefully cause one day.
