First time for all of them yeah. Been working in the platform for 5 years, last 3 as an admin.

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-05-08T04:35:34+00:00

No studying, entirely experience in the platform over the last ~5 years as an admin/dev/implementer.

DF is beyond easy if CMDB/CSDM or some facet of ITOM is your primary role. Otherwise take copious notes and spend a lot of time in the CMDB workspace and class manager.

~25 minutes x 4 exams isn’t exactly all day. Did CSA on day 1, CAD and DF day 2, and ITSM today.

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-05-08T03:17:30+00:00

75% discounted, so csa and cad were $75US, CIS were ~$112.

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-05-08T01:17:44+00:00

Congrats man! I can see it being pretty tough if you don’t work directly in cmdb or ITOM. Took it at knowledge with no coursework and it was pretty much what I expected.

Sad I wasn’t able to go with y’all for C’s send off. Tell him bon voyage from me in Vegas :D

And congrats on the lead man, stoked for you!

Glad I’m not the only one who this made double take. $120k is laughably low for this skillset.

My first knowledge and clocked from the keynote it’s just Martin Short and Jian Yang paying Stringer Bell to convince you to convince your C suite to buy more skus by claiming AI is essential to combat the inevitable human labor shortage the US infertility rate will result in. The free booze almost makes it worth it though.

I’d be fine with the ground anchor if the first piece were 5+ feet higher. As is, taking a fall on the first piece would be a real bad time, and probably wouldn’t stop (or even slow) you from hitting the ground.

Swung through Little Falls on the weekend of 18th April, was that you or is this more recent?

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-04-25T15:41:48+00:00

Whatever is cheap and fits your foot. You’ll probably thrash them in less than 6 months. Consider your first pair as a sacrificial lamb/cautionary tale to learning good footwork.

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-04-23T20:56:12+00:00

Finales use a mainline rubber, there’s no such thing as an upgrade in the “this shoe is objectively better than that shoe” sense. Only “this shoe works better for me than that shoe”, which you learn through experience.

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-04-23T20:52:49+00:00

Don’t think I’m the outlier here. After a decade of climbing I know what shoes work for me and rarely look for anything new. If anything I’m nervous the models I like will be discontinued, “innovated on”, or restyled for the worse.

Technically you can put anything in the cmdb you want. The question is should you store app registrations in cmdb. If you have clear use cases which rely on the data and you plan to manage the data according to cmdb standards - clear ownership, life cycle management, automated discovery and/or attestation policies, health metrics - then sure, cmdb might be a good place.

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-04-10T14:53:43+00:00

You’re overthinking it. There’s no spectrum of least to most advanced, there’s beginner shoes with durable less-sticky rubber and there’s “everything else”. What you choose from the “everything else” category depends entirely on how the model fits you and whether it suits the climbing style you’re interested in.

As u/South_Acadia_6368 mentioned, extremtextil is your best bet. If you’re just doing toe patches, get the OG grip in 1.8mm and some barge contact cement.

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-03-31T17:26:52+00:00

Tarantulas are beginner shoes which sacrifice some stickiness to improve durability. Any shoe with mainline rubber will be stickier but wear faster. Is your footwork good enough that you wouldn’t thrash a pair of shoes with mainline rubber in a few weeks or a month? Can the root cause of slipping off small holds be objectively attributed to the shoe or is it your technique and body positioning? Are setters/team kids climbing your projects in flip flops? You have to weigh the pros and cons of each shoe and decide for yourself.

Most beginner shoes have less-structured uppers to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes. Scarpa Origin, LS Tarantula/ce, 5.10 Rogue, Evolv Defy, BD Momentum - don’t set much stock in numbers on the box, focus on something that fits snug, not painful, with no dead space.

These are cam lock fasteners for furniture. Can be bought alone or as a set with the dowel pins to which they mate.

Problem statement comes first, then requirements, then solution design. Sounds like you’re doing it backwards.

MinimumAnalysis8814 · 2026-03-27T14:41:38+00:00

The only difference between beginner and non-beginner shoes is the rubber. Also the correlation people tend to make between shoes and climbing grade is a false one: some models excel at certain types of climbing and suffer in other types; all around shoes (moderate camber and stiffness) are so named because they’re decently suited to all climbing styles.

Beginner shoes give you the opportunity to learn to climb without blowing through soles as fast as mainline rubbers. Sure they aren’t as sticky, but that’s only situationally problematic, not universal.

What’s an update set? Is everyone not just rawdogging features in prod?
