It's an indication that a person reads more than they talk, and that might indicate that you've got someone who really wants to move up and out of their current circumstances. Besides, it's C-Octothorp.

In that anecdote, it was the rest of the situations that made it very wrong when he talked about his programming ability. Back in the day, I was removed for consideration on a few jobs because, while I could do all the helpdesk twaddle of adding/removing/setting up the system to use add-on cards, I'd never bothered to learn what ISA and PCI meant. But, at the time, I could competently tell you the differences, how they interfaced, and even bandwidth concerns when selecting between ISA and PCI for a couple of cards. But gently caress if I ever learned what the actual initialisms stood for at that point in my career.

I haven't filled a QA role since last year and looking at my board I don't have a single role up there. Sometimes I'll get automation but it just seems like everyone is having devs test now. Haven't seen a manual QA role in forever. Maybe someone closer to the technology can elaborate on or debunk my analysis.

Haven't seen a manual QA role in forever. Understandable. The position I've been hired for is basically an intermediary between the devs and the end users in addition to testing so it seems as if there's a bit more there, but it's also a large company that could just have more of an old school approach. Luckily, they bounce everyone around over the course of a few years and let you get a feel for developing, testing, BI etc to see where you do best, so I have the opportunity to try to make a lateral move for my future health if need be.

Does anyone have a nice up to date blog post or page that talks about performance metrics with java? We are going to be hacking together some cloudwatch metrics for our apps running in tomcat by attaching to jmx. So much of the stuff you find googling is freaking old. Java 8 changes how memory management works, so I guess I gotta go back and re-read the stuff I read up on that. Thinking I should have some of the catalina metrics that have info about the thread pool activity, then the memory stuff (metaspace, heap usage, garbage collection) I think a lot of people just use an APM solution but that just doesn't fit and we don't have the budget. NewRelic was cool for a while but now they added a middle tier that has the useful info in it.

In that anecdote, it was the rest of the situations that made it very wrong when he talked about his programming ability. I wasn't even self taught and I still call methods functions constantly. I might have done the same thing with C# if I hadn't talked about it with someone I knew in college. I also didn't know what an IDE was for years, but I would have gotten what they meant on the follow-up.

Did QA for a workforce management application for our client. I was the QA Lead aka The Only Person Doing QA. It was alright, I learned a good bit about methodology and it brought my troubleshooting skills to a new level. After the first month it was grueling (hell during the first month it was), because the test plan essentially didn't change, I just copy and pasted the same test cases over and over and over again and repeated them, oh we are updating to the next version? Time to regression test. At the end, my test plan was roughly 10000 items, probably 2000 of them I performed during regression testing for version upgrades etc. Honestly, I could have doubled both those numbers (the regression testing could have been 3x as much infact) if I had more time to be more thorough. Obviously your experience could be different.

Today I got to watch someone configure network adapters manually, one after another using the gui. I've got to figure out a good way to automate that (The tricky part is that if you screw up while configuring a network adapter, you get stuck!)
