I find this cool, but as a software engineer I rarely get the chance to run any of the commands mentioned in the article. The reason: our systems run in containers that are stripped down versions of some Linux, and I don’t have shell access to production systems (and usually reproducing a bug on a dev or qa environment is useless because they are very different from prod in terms of load and the like).

So the only chance of running any of the commands in the article are when playing around with my own systems. I guess they would be useful too if I were working as Platform engineer.

If you have a staging environment as similar as possible to production you can experiment and analyze stuff in an environment that's production-like but where you have access, this could help, depending on the situation.
