I managed a team of 5 and was the lead project guy at age 21. I think I did a pretty decent job. Obviously, I would do some things differently now but I think it can be hard to find people passionate about working hard to improve things and do things the right way. A lot of IT people seem to allow themselves to get stuck in a rut or get so caught up in the day to day they don't take time to re-evaluate what needs to be done.

BaseballPCHiker posted:At what point do you say enough is enough when it comes to interviewing for a job? The most I've ever had was a phone screening, 1st interview that was informal, and then a second more technical interview and overview of future projects and IT needs. If I ever have to past that I think I'll just say no unless I'm really desperate. Facebook (2013): short phone screen with recruiter. 3 45 min long phone interviews with coderpad where they ask you to solve stuff, after that, on-site (i didn't get the onsite) 2 silicon valley unicorns (2014): Short sync with recruiter, 45 min phone screen with technical person, after that on-site with 6 hours of interviews. I got the gig at one of the unicorns, hasn't changed remarkably in the last year or so. Seems to be standard for this area.

Hopefully quick / easy one: What's the best Redhat Linux 6.6 book for administration stuff? Our Cerner EPR is being moved to their data centre and going from AIX to Redhat server backend. I don't need anything super hardcore (yet), but never really touched Linux at all and something to help me handle the basics would be great. For those "quicker to do it locally than wait on Cerner" issues. May be something already recommended, but can't remember seeing anything / phone posting (and I'm just lazy, sorry).

So being an F5 gold partner is pretty sweet. F5 will just pay for any training you want to take, as long as it's being provided by their own instructors.

Because everyone at the company was a senior software engineer, because it helped when dealing with people at other companies sometimes who might get snooty about talking to a junior guy. Granted, the company was only like 14 people so it's easier to do that kind of thing.

The only time anyone ever gave a poo poo about my age was when my Taiwanese coworker didn't like 25 year old me explaining to him why his decision to throw a misconfigured firewall on a production network without consulting the change control board or anyone else was a bad idea. He complained to my boss that it was inappropriate for someone my age to be correcting someone his age, and my boss promptly told him to shut the gently caress up.

Almost every issue I've seen with F5 is that management considers them networking appliances. They aren't. So the network team keeps punting issues to the application team, who doesn't give a poo poo about them, and then something inevitably breaks and nobody knows what the gently caress to do so they pay someone else to come in and fix the problem and then go back to fighting over whose problem it isn't.

God loving dammit how hard is it for a server integrator to execute a runbook. That is all. (Yet another rack which did not auto provision because they skip the last two steps in our runbook: Disconnect all ethernet cables, request system zeroize, request system power-off. Disconnect power & ship.)

Anyone have any experience with Nextiva or RingCentral for voip? Looking to move my current company off of this ancient nortel system that we pay through the nose for long distance. I dont have the manpower or knowledge to host my own system and really want to just pay someone else to do it. So far Nextiva looks really good, lots of good reviews except for the crappy connection stories here and there. RingCentral seems to be the same, overall good with the occasional crap connection at some customer sites. Also the RingCentral guy managed to bail on a live demo and not answer phone calls or emails for a week so I'm pretty much done with them now.

We use RingCentral for our full-time staff. Works well enough, and personally I've not had any issues that can't be attributed to poor connection on the end user's part. The dashboard is a little janky in some parts but it gets the job done, and in the few cases where I couldn't do what I wanted to do all I had to do was contact support and they sorted me out same day. I know lots of people here like using the mobile app instead of having to deal with having an actual handset.

How many handjobs did you have to give out to get approval for all that? I reckon I'd get about fifteen minutes in before the uproar from users would cause someone above me to cave and tell me to revert everything. "Raaaargh what do you mean I don't have a password anymore what is a certificate why is the IT department always trying to make everything difficult raaargh" etc. Sheep fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Feb 4, 2016 |
