Nailed it. I think about this a lot: a sysadmin is basically a manager of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of computers. But management is a poor way of orchestrating human labor; small teams usually operate better without management. So, is there a better way to administer computer systems as well?

That's a really interesting question, I don't know what that might look like.

As a biochemist, my brain naturally goes to the different hierarchical levels of increasing complexity in life. Like how eukaryotic amoebas are freed from some of the challenges that constrain bacteria (mitochondria really are awesome), and how similarly, the complexity ceiling is much higher for multicellular life than unicellular life.

I just think a systems view of stuff is neat, and it's cool to see how modularisation, coupling and specialisation work together

Honestly it's like video game credits. You built a complex system and it worked... bask in your achievements!
