Or way worse, what you said but senior techs.

Microsoft has been at this long enough that there is an army of old guys whose only - but extremely specialized - skillset is navigating arcane GUIs for group policies and AD administration. But drop them in a bash terminal and they're like a fish dropped on a tennis court.

Modern MS infra administration is far from "navigating arcane GUIs": it's all about PowerShell, IaC, automation etc.

Yeah now it's all about navigating obscure web pages that mysteriously change every few months haha

Ew. I didn't think of it that way, but your right. Hopefully the seniors are tech smart and not just MS smart.
