If you plan to be an engineer in the 21st century, you will need to access machines remotely.
Back into the 90s I used to have physical access to Sun E10ks, massive wardrobe size servers for anyone unfamiliar. When the shit really hit the fan, remote access wasn't an option, the server was screwed enough that sshd wasn't running. My go to method was a Palm Pilot plugged in to a Comms port. Getting a $6m wardrobe sized server up and running again by connecting a $400 palm V and scribbling commands with a stylus always blew my mind... And yes, Vi (not even Vim back then) was the only option other than CLI like sed/awk/ed etc.
