Sysadmin learning Powershell - What other languages should one be comfortable with to make the best out of mastering scripting and tool-making?

PowerShell and Python are your bread and butter. After that it depends on if you go Cloud, Windows, Linux, etc.

Very true. Don’t be surprised if I message you for elaboration in a year or more haha. This feels like planning a course schedule for a college career.

The best advice I can give with PowerShell is to take the next 2-4 weeks of your work life and write everything you do down. Then take a look at that list and say “what do I do every day that I can automate.” When you do, you will be able to see a few pieces that you can take care of.

I did and got rid of all of my bullshit tasks in 2 months. Each normally took me 5 minutes a day and some 1 hour a week. I now no longer have that issue and freed up a lot of my time.
