I haven't seen mention of the fork bomb in a long time. I'm impressed that it was included here; gives me hope for the next batch of sysadmins.

why would this "give you hope for the next batch of sysadmins"?

Most sysadmins/SRE's i have met (especially on *nix), are very capable in their craft.

I don't agree with there being "a next batch of sysadmins" because the layers are so abstracted now. I have still seen systems that don't protect against fork bombs. I love taking advantage of it.
