After years of YAML-induced trauma, redundant container orchestration, and Terraform modules cursed by ancient sysadmins, one brave DevOps engineer did the unthinkable:

He burned his entire fiat cloud skillset… and went all-in on Bitcoin.

Here’s what he lost:

☁️ 43 dashboards no one read

🔐 5 IAM policies still haunting him in his dreams

🧱 17 layers of microservice abstraction

🧠 96% of mental RAM wasted on AWS pricing calculators

🧻 A Kubernetes cluster managing... a static landing page

🤡 The “cloud native” badge of Stockholm Syndrome

Here’s what he gained:

⚡ Economic sovereignty

🧘 A simpler protocol that actually does what it claims

🛠️ One bash script that actually matters

🌍 Alignment with the only decentralized ops team worth joining

💀 Immunity from vendor lock-in, career blackmail, and HR compliance training

The final straw?

> “I realised I was automating slavery with 99.999% uptime.”

Now he runs a Lightning node, contributes to open-source Bitcoin ops, and sleeps like a well-audited full node.

If you're a DevOps engineer still stuck in the cloud, just remember:

> You weren’t born to manage someone else's VPC.

You were born to route freedom over port 9735.
