There are three apps I test for work. I feel only somewhat comfortable using one of them on a surface level. I'm expected to learn the other two. Tl;dr: Telecoms run on layers upon layers of custom software full of abbreviations and acronyms that five people on the entire planet understand.

@gklein88@dragonscave.space not surprised! Good luck out there. I feel the same way when I have to dig deep into the domain of what data engineers or backend peeps do with their pipelines. So much configuring, figuring out Docker local run guides, bla. But, I do it anyway to be able to better assert a test for a team or something, the sacrifice's worth it. Of my sanity. xD
