Elevator Pitch

having done both Dev and Ops, I feel there is some truth, but several lies as well as to how having sysadmin experience affects devs, and how dev experience affects sysadmins. The title is a play on words from JRR Tolkein’s Hobbit (There and back again), and will be told as a story

The title is a play on words from JRR Tolkein’s Hobbit (There and back again), and will be told as a story
