Really nice to see the 'plumbing' mindset catching on. When the parallels to real-world utility work were first pointed out a lot of people were resistant to it because they felt insulted to have their high technology work compared to dirty low technology.

#42I am somewhat in tears now seeing this. I spent weeks at work trying to backwards analyze GCP IAP, which apparently uses this in the background (invoked via the gcloud CLI). Almost like a lost art, it was impossible to find serious tutorials other than Michael W. Lucas’s book of a couple of years ago or the O’Reilly book from 2006. Very much appreciated. Thank you for documentation on these very important systems tha…
Exactly, and hopefully fundamental sysadmin/nix/networking/DNS/basic troubleshooting (that we take for granted) skills won't get lost by the wayside. But I do feel that at some point this will happen, and those of us with those skills that remain in say 10-15 years will be as outdated/deprecated as say an AIX admin is today.
I always assumed we would lurch onto a new model that had a stronger notion of distributed identity, or was more data centric than machine centric, or .. something.
but we keep throwing more new plywood on top of the old rotten floor and keep going about our business. the 10th layer down isn't providing any structural value any more..but does that matter?

#43I looked at the table of contents and I am guessing it has many handy tricks and command line examples of already public tools. Doesn't look like its should be as costly as 19$. Would you like to bring it down to one-digit costs ?
If you want it today, it's $0 if you go here: https://gumroad.com/l/the_cyber_plumbers_handbook/hackernews... I'm still trying to find a fair price for it, not ready to bring it down to single digits just yet.
