Person: Why do you like working with Linux servers. You've already done so much of it.
Me: I started in 1995 with one server. I last managed X,000 servers simultaneously. I always want moar boxen. I'm a nerd.
Person: Uh?
Me: Every time you build infrastructure, you make mistakes and learn. So you wanna do it one more time, hopefully not repeating your old mistakes. You also wanna use some of the new shiny stacks. This time you make more mistakes, so you learn some more at the expense of your users. You keep repeating this. Then you die.
