Back in 1999, I was worried about Google eliminating the need to Systems Administrators... (real ones not Microsoft Certified drones)
Now I view it as a tool to tell me what to look for, what the actual cause of my issue is, what idiots came up with what I'm dealing with and how to/what tools to use o combat it.
Its made my job easier on the bare metal side of things.... and allows me to devote time to doing INANE PCI COMPLIANCE SHIT.
But, truly it makes my life easier now... allows me to devote time resources and critical thinking on things that aren't yet solved.
It also causes the bane of my existence, fixing up things from people trying to fix things by rote, because it worked for someone and not understanding why it does or doesn't apply.
