I've been tinkering on Linux as a hobby for about 2 years now and was made aware of strace a couple of months after starting to dig a bit deeper. You make me hopeful of my future employment.
I’m 100% telling the truth when I say I got a job as a Linux sys admin at a massive tech company on the basis of knowing a little bit of bash scripting. And this wasn’t even that long ago. Learn some devops stuff and you’re golden.
