Gotta pay the bills, no doubt about it. Systemd is such a mess it
presents a huge opportunity for trainers. If I were offered a systemd
trainer job for the right money, I'd shut up and systemd. I'd even use
it at home, to get home experience with my work systems.

None of which means I'd believe in systemd. I'd just laugh all the way
to the bank. This was the world I lived in when I was a developer in
the Windows world.

But I'd think twice about criticizing the character, ability or opinion
of systemd rejecters. Because in my heart I'd know they're right.
