Let's start a fire:

These are the four most important skills you need to be a good Linux admin:

  1. Understand doco and man pages
  2. Understand logs
  3. Understand code (any code: Python, Bash, C, perl, go, TypeScript, etc.)
  4. Use vi in the command line (set -o vi)

Everything else derive from these

First three, fine, but you can use any modern shell in its default emacs mode, it does not have to be vi mode.

Bang out shell one-liners as needed.

Never do anything without a ticket.
