All industries have risks associated.

In our Sysadmin context - Though I have not heard of any yet - a case
scenario of telesurgery/remote surgery.

In the midst of this operation - a misconfiguration by either a
netadmin(bgp) or sysadmin(dns) resulting into downtime cutting off
communication = catastrophic end results.

What professional engineers you mentioned do can kill people.  I have yet
to hear of anyone dying from a sysadmin or netadmin screwing up. (Other
than dropping something heavy onto someone, using a fork lift
incompetently, or building an unsafe raised floor.).


I want pictures of the unsafe raised floor.
