BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:Trying to get an idea since I’ve only worked one support role so far. I know it's not directly relevant but when I was working for an ISP, I would troubleshoot 60-80 calls on a busy day. Looking back on that job, while awful, it sure taught be a lot of valuable skills that have proved useful over the course of my career.

LochNessMonster posted:On the topic of coworkers you don’t like. If pressed for an answer, I'd give one. Just be professional with it. There is a difference between "that is the sorriest motherfucker I ever did see" and "we never seemed to be on the same page. I'm glad he (or I) found opportunities elsewhere." The last thing I'd personally do is lie to someone who is looking for an honest opinion, especially if it was for someone I didn't care for.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Good morning! My boss emailed me late last week to disable TLS 1.0 & 1.1 on some servers. Cool, easy enough! I'm sure those on-call DBAs were thrilled! Which makes me wonder how much I really want to do DBA work because I drat sure don't want to start taking on-call duties again.

Collateral Damage posted:On the topic of database performance a pitfall I've run into a few times is that your database engine will cache tables in memory and as long as your tables are small enough to stay cached you won't notice how inefficient your queries are because it's still lightning fast as long as they're in RAM. So you load up a few gigs of test data and run your tests and everything passes with flying colors, so you sign off and put it in production. Database and query optimizations are something that scratches the itch for me. I don't know why, and I'm not very good at it, but I love tucking into a performance problem like that. It's not unheard of to see hundreds, even thousands, of times performance increase if you know what knobs to turn.

I'm a firm believer in the power of clear and succinct communication, and that the lack of communication is the cause of most headaches. In business and in life, people usually just want to know what to expect and what is expected of them.

I'm watching a stream where the dude has been sitting at the "Servers are at capacity" screen for who knows how long. For any of you nerds playing the game, has there been any word on why they haven't been able to scale up to handle the capacity? Where's the bottleneck?

I'd love to travel like that but I'm too drat tall for economy seats. Flying on a budget is miserable for me. Which unfortunately rules out (possibly) cool consulting jobs that require frequent travel.

Cimber posted:If when we review the queue we see that a ticket is about to 'go amber' we are to immediately copy the details out, close it and then open a new one that is 'green'. Yeah, I'd be throwing them under the bus if possible to do without jeopardizing yourself. That is something the boss's boss may want to know.

Cimber posted:So i had my SRE internal interview yesterday. I think it went pretty well... Yeah, the worst part of those situations is the waiting but you got this! I'm struggling a bit at my current job. It has zero stress, the pay is amazing but the work is literally mind-numbing. A large part of me wants to look for the door and get more fulfilling work but the practical side is telling me to suck it up. The IT market feels a bit grim at the moment in terms of great jobs for great pay so I need to stay put. It's hard to make that mental switch though.
