This document discusses changing from a sysadmin mindset focused on manual, repetitive tasks to a more collaborative, proactive, and communicative mindset using configuration management tools. It notes common problems with the old approach like fixing issues directly in production and lack of documentation. It advocates using tools to codify server configurations, applying changes systematically, and improving communication. The new mindset focuses on collaboration over acting as a "superman," being proactive by providing ideas, and being communicative by explaining changes made through coding.
