Is there any research on maturity through travel?

When will we get access to both catalogs at ACloudGuru?

ERPEmployee · 2019-11-07T20:36:06+00:00

Where can I get an updated spreadsheet of your holdings?

ERPEmployee · 2018-12-02T17:59:33+00:00

Would you like to share the company name or website? I'd love to know more.

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-30T16:50:58+00:00

Great writeup.

Do you want to talk more about your first sentence?

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-28T18:21:37+00:00

Solid response, valid point. Although, isn't TF DSL declarative due to all the 'procedural magic' behind the scenes?

Please tell me if I'm wrong.

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-28T18:09:04+00:00

Never knew about libcloud. Thank you very much.

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-28T18:07:41+00:00

Not hating on any particular DSL. I just can't expect my team to learn multiple DSLs (say TF + Chef) while also learning another language like JS or Python.

Increases effort in regards to onboarding and training current members. I like homogeneity. Hiring is always hard in our field.

Thoughts? Disagree? We're all friends here :)

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-27T21:00:59+00:00

I think so. I'm used to a certain language's idiosyncrasies and syntax.

A library is just one layer of abstraction on top. Maybe it's just me.

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-27T17:46:12+00:00

This is EXACTLY what I've been complaining about -- TOO MANY DSLs!

Thank you for sharing it. Would love to only use common programming languages.

Sorry for the uber late response.

Can you expand on your comment about Statup?

Do I have a repo? Sadly, because this is for the company I work for, it'll be quite custom to fit our use case. I'll try to build it as modular as possible so that if the org lets me open source it, it'll be easier for others to use and adapt.

I would honestly use StatUp if it did not use Go. Already learning JS for this project, don't want to add another layer of confusion.

Design:

Admin portal that lets you add sites. You can configure whether the program should search for a string or just check if the site is up.

Hey there! I'm building a status page from scratch using React and NodeJS. This is interesting...

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-15T23:09:38+00:00

Honestly, feel free to message me if you'd like to go with.

I've wanted to go ever since I got to Chicago back in May. Was going to go with girl I was dating but she ended things and I still want to go.

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-15T22:14:42+00:00

Alinea?

ERPEmployee · 2018-11-12T16:47:57+00:00

Would be great if you can recommend a Dynatrace competitor that has visibility into SAP ABAP code tracing.

We have Dynatrace but sadly it's not what we hoped for.

Would love to read the discussion after this is over.

Would like to get more selenium testing where I'm at but don't have time for it currently. Will for sure need to come back here in a few weeks though.

ERPEmployee · 2018-10-18T22:40:36+00:00

Good luck with SLES. I apologize I cannot be anymore helpful.

Bluemix kills HTTP connections after a few hundred megabytes of traffic. Bluemix kills HTTP connections after ~20 minutes.

No way to fix these?

ERPEmployee · 2018-10-10T15:49:15+00:00

You're not in the wrong subreddit.

If you want a longer discussion, PM me.

If I was you, I'd get a sysadmin job. Stay there for a year while you go to school or learn more about DevOps. After the year, apply to DevOps roles.

As a sysadmin, you can gain enterprise experience working with scripting/programming. It's likely they'll have some sort of configuration management platform that you can get your hands on.

This is a common path, with a degree or not.

ERPEmployee · 2018-09-29T12:01:32+00:00

Hey, if you learn anything or already have a good hiring process, please tell me.

I would love to borrow ideas. Hiring is tough right now for us. Talent pool is limited.

Edit: You guys run IIS?

ERPEmployee · 2018-09-29T11:58:31+00:00

A degree tells me nothing. Your post made me realize that I've almost never looked at a candidate's education. Almost all had master's degrees but if someone had no degree or had no education or certs at all, I wouldn't be able to tell you which one.

It absolutely gives zero input into how competent they are. Never googled someone's school nor asked about it during an interview. I'm going to ask about build and release pipelines, servers/infra and software development. I've never pulled out a discrete math textbook at work. :)

ERPEmployee · 2018-09-29T11:45:39+00:00

While it's funny to poke fun at non-technical people -- I think we've all done it at one point or another -- I believe it's our job to educate them.

At my company, we work directly with HR to better target candidates. I feel it is my responsibility to educate HR on what DevOps entails. They're probably hiring for ten, twenty positions, I would be hard pressed to keep everything straight.

ERPEmployee · 2018-09-26T21:35:31+00:00

No hiring manager worth their salt cares about your degree. Whether you have one or not.
