For me, my high bar that I have yet to beat, was the time I pivoted the running OS (ubuntu) into RAM over SSH so I could unmount and image the boot drive without rebooting and loading a live USB (Which would have required a ticket with my provider to enable IPMI)

The real wizards are the folks who made KDE's printer integration. Or maybe CUPS.

I’ve you ever looked at CUPS code? Forget wizardry, it’s straight up Eldritch lore in typed form.
