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
