IT magic, done simple
A practical, slightly-mystical field guide for underpaid IT folks: the people keeping things running with too little budget, too few permissions, and too much responsibility.
Who This is For
This is designed for helpdesk, junior sysadmins, solo IT, “accidental IT,” MSP techs, and anyone doing production work without production resources.
What You Will Get Here:
As you explore the grimoire you will find:
checklists that every wizard should have,
free and helpful tools to help you on your adventures,
scripts that help navigate the wilderness, and
common survival patterns that should be acknowledged.
Wizard's Code
To be a wizard you should honour these values:
Always be respectful of boundaries
Document everything, no matter how simple.
Learn, and don't stop learning
Always refuse unreasonable work
