some sysadmins aren't looking for anything logical, like stability or user-friendliness. They can't be bought with pretty GUIs, bullied by error messages, reasoned with by support forums, or negotiated with by desperate end-users.

Some sysadmins just want to watch the world burn...

...as they compile their own Linux kernel with the most experimental flags.
...as they change root permissions on a live production server
...as they replace core system libraries with unstable nightly builds

@nixCraft Sounds like that kind of thing you do on day you know you'll not be back.

@nixCraft We once changed permissions recursively.

Unaware that the software required setuid on some files.

On a live production server.

On friday.

1/10, would not recommend.
