He's not wrong about telecom in particular. Verizon sold 24 datacenters to Equinix in 2016. AT&T sold most of their datacenters in January. They don't want anything to do with this business.

Telecoms don’t give a gist about data centers any more than the tires on their service vehicles installing physical cables.

Guessing aws is making a recruitment drive for TAMs, buddy in another state and I just got hit up by regional recruiters. Interesting that they're pitching it as no previous AWS experience required. I'm tempted to apply for it and see how it goes. We have one or two aws TAMs here, right?

Are you actually so stupid that you read a post saying that datacenter talent is centralized in four big companies and your thought is "lmao you idiot, one other company also has a lot of datacenter talent, that's why you are completely wrong", or are you just looking to be an rear end in a top hat?

We got two candidates for our DBA position. One dude has a great resume, knows a bunch of stuff other than DBs, python, ruby, etc. He hasn’t worked since January saying he couldn’t find a good fit. Second candidate only knows databases but at a pretty high level. She already has a job. Interesting to see who my boss chooses.

Hey I worked in America for a Canadian entity too. They used to do free PTO days each month but then took it away and then brought it back except just for Canadians. They also let them keep the Keurigs, and got nice, new furniture. I did get to pilot the Surface tablets though, so that was pretty neat.

Especially not if you’re a pussy. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get hosed by dicks. But dicks also gently caress assholes — assholes who just want to poo poo on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can gently caress an rear end in a top hat is a dick, with some balls.

I was just shown today that the Leader in charge of maintaining our MDFs bought a huge stack of leaf blowers to "clean" these areas with networking and server equipment. I am trying to figure out if I should care or if I should report someone for being an idiot.

Also, I misread what you said about candidate #2, and this is why I avoid the phrase "high level". I think some people use it to mean high level overview, just enough knowledge to be dangerous. Others mean it, and I'm realizing that you did, as high level expertise. Consider the sentence "I'd like to learn Kubernetes at a high level" - am I doing a deep dive, or just trying to familiarize myself? My response was comparing a senior DBA vs a more junior DBA. Re-reading it, I think it's more senior DBA with other skills, vs senior DBA. MC Fruit Stripe fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jul 2, 2019 |

MC Fruit Stripe posted:To be honest, I think "concerned he's a dick" is just what your boss is telling you. This guy is a very strong DBA who hasn't worked in 6 months because he couldn't find the right fit? I think it's just as likely that your boss is worried that he can't put this guy under his thumb. A strong technical mind who isn't going to cry himself to sleep if he misses a paycheck? Doesn't sound like the kind of guy we can shovel poo poo onto. That may be your boss's concern. You are correct, my wording was confusing. Senior DBA vs Senior DBA + web dev skills.

And it was my own confusion. Within context I think that was more clear. It's just a weird phrase. High level knowledge vs high level overview. Same words, opposite meanings.

This sounds like the head of our BI team. He is old and crotchety as gently caress and splits his time between MSSQL DBA and literally farming maple syrup in rural Vermont. DBA's are fuckin weirdos. But also a lot of days quitting tech to drive a tractor around in the woods sounds pretty good, too, so maybe he's got it right.
