It's a good tool to have when you know how to use it properly. I've been using since it was 2 months old and it's saved my ass more than a few dozens of times.
More than that, I use it not only for work, but in daily life as well.
- what's that plant <picture>
- what's that bird <picture>
- what does the local law say about <problem>
- how to disable auto-activate feature in home alarm using 15yo control panel
- how to train a dragon
- how to disassemble this door handle (no screws)
- etc.
It's helped me either directly or by hinting me some search terms I could lookup myself (I usually doublecheck its responses anyways). -
@retoor that's what you get when kids join dR...

I'm on my side. Not theirs. -

@CoreFusionX well, a devops IS a sysadmin. And netops. And secops. And storops. And cloudops. And dba. And dev. And automation engineer. And all the other roles + more. Only devops is allowed to be more superficial than the dedicated role.
Idk, I'm covering all those roles I mentioned before and more. In all the devops projects I worked before. All the clients. -
I gave up. I offered him to maintain dR just to keep it alive, and I was told that he's interested several times, but thats the furthest we got. So I'm giving up. It's a fun community, and quite frankly it helps me to stay me sane, but I'm not going to beg to accept my offer to do a job pro bono.
I also stopped escalating issues to him as he doesn't seem to be very interested anyways... -
Terraform, containers, docker, kubernetes, linux, bash, git, ci tools [like github actions or gitlab ci], one of the three cloud providers -- that's for starters.
Then: server administration and troubleshooting of ANY issue, network srack ins and outs [tcp, udp, icmp, vpn [ip-in-ip] should suffice, also proxies, LBs, routing tables, dns, etc.], at least 1 db [postgresql?] setup, admimistration and optimization, performance and security testing, sec hardening, telemetry setup and admin, middleware admin and troubleshooting, comfy with thread and heap/core dump analysis.
Then the procedural stuff: docs, team processes, sdlc, comm channels, escalations, alerts, incident and event mgmt, service recovery procedures, etc.
Then, infra, software and everything in between - centralized and automated configuration, insecure config scanning and patching, patching application, libraries', middleware and platform security vulnerabilities, security hardening on edge clusters, cost optimization, a -

@Lensflare maybe it's jus the "candle burning twice as bright" case. I hope it is.
I really need to wrap up with this current client/project and finally get some rest -
@kanyewest way to go! So obedient..

continue practising sexism, antisemitism, racism, chauvinism, narcissism, duchebagism and you'll get there eventually.

@retoor It's not a word I like (to use or in general) :D But ok, maybe I was in a bad mood or smth and said it. oh well :)
I do stand for attending uni/college though. It may not give you a lot of technical knowledge, but it does teach you to deal with stress and stupid tasks, cut corners wisely, communication, etc. -
@retoor when did I call self-taught devs manchild...?
I am self-taught.
When I started working here, I didn't have any degree in CS
it doesn't make sense for me to call myself and like that... -
@retoor why not though...? They sent me an offer a few years back. It was a generous offer (financially), but I turned it down anyway. My current employer is much more cozy, provides with a lot more opportunities to grow and allows for a full-remote work, while Oracle doesn't have those (and others) perks.

@retoor Time-To-Market ;)

@retoor considering TTM and performance, IMO it doesn't get better than java

@cho-uc It really is a good company :) It helped me grow A LOT, its attitude never undermines the employee's needs/opinion, even a junior's, it promotes professional growth, etc.

I was a sysadmin, elbows deep in sysadmin's shit. Always wanted to be a dev. I applied to one company and was invited for a jr interview.
I deferred -- was swamped in my current role. Rescheduled once again. And again. Hr called me asking what's happening, I explained I have a fuckload of work during working hours, can't do the homework. I suggested to drop this whole thing, as I've wasted too much of their time already
next day, they scheduled a 1hr slot during lunch time for me to come to their office. Read: they insisted on me doing the task and went an extra mile to give me the oppurtunity.
I came, did the task as well as I could, left. 2hrs later I got an offer. 1/3 of my sysadmin's salary, and I happily took it.
8 years later I'm still working in the same company. -

4 -- the project B is in EKS, so it should not have any randomness. The stability and not having to worry about LB is why my client is paying for a managed EKS.
Project A is a custom k8s cluster behind a LB and it has not once given me an identity error in the last 2+ months until today.
Even so, I only get this error in terraform, while no such thing happens via kubectl. Running both tools on the same machine.
IDK, maybe it's Friday...? -

Depends. Normally I prefer physical books because it helps me to focus. The ritual of taking the book, finding the page and line, also fully switching the context/environment of current 'task' helps a lot to focus.
On the other hand, physical books have 3 major shortcomings:
- they don't have a ctrl+f
- you can't have your book everywhere with you [you'll forget it or find it inconvenient to lug it around]
- they need external lighting and a dry, calm environment
Recently I read 2 DB-related books and I think I learned the content quite well. Then again, I also made a full context switch, bcz I was mostly reading on my phone while rocking my lil one to sleep [also not smth I'd prolly do with a physical one...].
Somehow reading ebooks on computer doesn't do it for me. -
@spongessuck yeah, I'm quite comfy with tar. But openssl is a different story :D
