Work is pushing me toward Pubops because I know GitHub, but I know fuckall about servers and have little interest in being an admin because it just seems like an enormous pain in the ass
I had this other role right before this one, where the guy said he wanted a coder but what he actually wanted was an admin to run his WordPress site. So I gave it a shot and hated every moment before I gave up and told him I couldn't do it. Because I don't particularly enjoy setting things up and figuring out what the dang site needs. I like visual design and writing, and coding frontend.
And all of my previous experience is in art/graphic design, activism, coding, or writing, so what part of it suggests I want to do very backendy work with Git?
It sounds interesting, insofar as my designery mind is like, "We could do this better", but the day-to-day tasks don't interest me much, nor does putting out fires and getting yelled at by confused senior devs who don't understand Git
When I was apprenticing, I got screamed at by someone on my team because they thought I deleted their code. They hadn't pushed a damn thing to upstream, that's why the code wasn't there. And they swore it was my fault because I was the only one who knew Git well enough to help others with merge conflicts. I don't want being yelled at over Git being confusing to be a key component of my worklife.
