In the early 1990s I ran a math department's 4 servers and 50 workstations and (with a few exceptions) only ever did administrative actions through scripts.

I've worked in lots of places since and the world's matured from scripts and rsync to ansible and puppet and similar.

Have we regressed to the point where we've turned big clusters of systems back into "oops I ran a command as superuser in the wrong directory" ?
