Having spent years in support roles its really great to be able to build out systems/playtforms the way you think stuff should have been done. Take alerts/errors for instance. It dosent take much to keep the admins abrest of what may be failing. just alert on issues.
Definitly geeking out on the ops side. Some may say thats procrastinating. Id tend to agree. But then again there probably isnt too much left on the ops side.
