Man all this reminds me so much of my previous gig and it was so FUN.

Now I have a not so fun job at Big Tech doing SRE type work; all of that mucking around is abstracted away from me.

IMHO, the fun is that less abstracted systems are actually fixable because you can “see” the failures, as opposed to cloudy stuff where you do a lot of work to prove that the problem is on the provider’s side, and then wait months for them to implement a fix… only then to have already worked around the issue.
