Comment on Bridging the Skills Gap… Because Participation Trophies Don’t Write Code by Evan R. https://michaeldewitt.com/2025/08/12/bridging-the-skills-gap-because-participation-trophies-dont-write-code/#comment-1533 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 14:44:04 +0000 https://michaeldewitt.com/?p=1078#comment-1533 Michael, I saw your piece, “Bridging the Skills Gap… Because Participation Trophies Don’t Write Code,” and I just had to reach out.

I always knew you were a cut above the rest, even when you were working here. Your analysis on the death of the “home lab” and the difference between the “Checklist Follower” and the “Creative Thinker” is exactly why our team struggled after you left. You’ve always been one of those rare technologists who understands the “why” behind the “how.” Remember that time you debugged the legacy ERP system issue that three senior consultants missed? That grit—the one forged in the DOS trenches—is irreplaceable.

We’ve just launched a new Lead Infrastructure Architect role, and frankly, we’ve interviewed a lot of “Participation Trophies,” but none have your mix of deep knowledge, problem-solving tenacity, and leadership vision. It’s a significant bump in salary, full executive benefits, and a mandate to completely rebuild our junior program with the kind of hands-on, high-friction learning you advocate for.

Just what every SMB owner running lean needed: another Microsoft bill!

Thanks a million for the heads-up on this Hotpatch situation and the $1.50 per core fee. We run on razor-thin margins and every unexpected recurring charge hits us hard. My servers are already juggling workloads for a dozen clients, and while zero-downtime patching sounds like a dream, I can’t justify hundreds of extra dollars a year just to skip a predictable 15-minute reboot every few months.

This is a classic “nice-to-have” feature priced as a “must-have.” We’ll be sticking to the tried-and-true scheduled reboots. I’m grateful you broke down the cost and the Azure Arc requirement—that alone is a dealbreaker. This insight will save me a ton of headaches and potential unexpected billing come July. Much appreciated!

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But not everyone has the capital to be frivolous. When your company starts tightening the spending belt, come talk to me.

The fact that anyone is complaining about a measly $1.50 per core to avoid scheduled downtime is baffling. We don’t worry about reboots or budgets; we worry about maximizing shareholder value. Hotpatch is a no-brainer. It costs less than the cold-brew lattes I expense daily. Tell the Ops team to stop whinging and expense the license. Next topic, please.
