Is learning Python worth it for an aspiring sysadmin?

1 pointsby shivajikobardanabout 1 year ago
I am planning my entire year, 2024. And Most(50%) of the chunk of my time for the first 4-5 months has been dedicated to python.<p>I need to re-evaluate if learning python is worth for me at this stage of my career.<p>I just started my career as a product support engineer. And I am marching towards being a sysadmin.<p>My goal of learning programming is not clear. I am learning because everybody in reddit said so. I do realize that learning TO PROGRAM is extremely valuable.<p>BUT,I&#x27;ve other priorities that I immediately need to learn(which I actually use on my job or similar jobs). They are:<p>- docker<p>- kubernetes<p>- SQL administration<p>- intermediate Linux topics like servers(mail,DNS...),LVMs etc<p>- Ansible<p>- Git<p>The hesitation is due to the fact that I&#x27;ve attempted and wasted lots of time learning to program because it never made me click and I&#x27;m not hopeful it&#x27;d click now.
