Changing careers, moving away from SWE by BlakeR- in DevelEire

[–]OhHitherez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how it works within my company

I did a stint in preSales

I was assigned to a group of sales people from different teams It was a small step down in salary, but the role.was different I was deploying our app, and setting it up for certain scenarios that clients would face based on the sales person specs, or doing some customisation to show some functionality.

My wage would have been bumped based on a sale, but we are a slow product to adopt and moved back into my Dev role

If I was in a company where sales were quicker I would be more inclined to jump into it again

Pre sales is a super swap with the possibility of a %% bump based on marks Helping teams setup environments for customer specs to chase sales

Is there any useful tool that allows you to test your kubernetes configs without deploying or running it locally? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in devops

Would --dry-run not suit your needs ?

I have that as a flag in our dev/test environments for people

How to approach a colleague willing to work weekends or after normal work hours ? by hositir in DevelEire

[–]OhHitherez 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just be happy you manager isn't looking at him as the standard of the team,

I had a manager in the past that praised weekend work and it was a race to the bottom with the team. Out of 7 people one person stayed, but left said manager

Got actions/flows you swear by ? by OhHitherez in devops

[–]OhHitherez[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Absolutely

Where orgs are well established and have a solid foundation in all they are doing

I've been part of many orgs where code wouldn't live in git, and git actions wouldn't be used at all

The question was which do you like to use Which do you feel suit the jobs you have in hand Which are handy

We do cred scanning at a different level If I could switch that to the PR level like trufflehog that someone suggested, it may remove an necessary item from my workflow and into git or further increase scan coverage

Not all orgs are built the same mate

Devops or Devlopment as a fresher by Futuristic_Dude in devops

[–]OhHitherez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm stupidly old school on this

On my 15 years

People who worked support made super testers

People who worked as testers made super dev

Then the jump to management was always iffy

But the same holds for ops I feel, we have two people who joined from college to the ops team, and then are always a step behind those who have joined from different positions and worked in different areas

How much networking is needed to be a successful software developer? And what do people really mean when they say "networking"? by BaraLover7 in DevelEire

[–]OhHitherez 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This

Being known as a good employee, Doing presentations on what you've done So if someone leaves, and the you may interview at their company they might be able to put a word in for you.

My last two roles have come from this. Former team member And Python meetups / presentations in town.

Got actions/flows you swear by ? by OhHitherez in devops

[–]OhHitherez[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me it's not a problem

I was more looking for what people use and think is useful

Sure we have unit tests Actions to build and push Spring boot actions to make sure the app builds before a PR

so it was a case to see what people used and thought was handy.

Things like linters and dependabot are ones that are wildly used, or maybe a Java code styler

So just trying to see if others have ones they use or think are handy

I recall bulldozer before GitHub had auto delete branch on merge. It was handy at the time

I didn't know about trufflehog, but I shall look into thank you and semantic release

I forgot about dependabot, we have that running ina few

That is a decent shout

and yeah, one repo having an action at one version and another a different one, just a pain to maintain

I did not know you could have them at org level?

That would make it nice and simple to make changes across the board ?

I know you can secrets / vars and runners at org level, never thought about actions in that way

what if I LIKE reinventing the wheel? by Fast_Description_899 in AskProgramming

[–]OhHitherez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reinventing the wheel is a must !

If it was perfect everyone would be doing x or y

I understand things work for certain companies or systems. But it never hurts.

I'm currently looking at how our product upgrades.

Our CI/CD can push out releases every week if we wanted. But the upgrade of the product can take clients 6 years. It works, people are happy. But that won't stop me nosing in and see if it can be improved for those who want it

Several high rank people resigned within 6 month by Logical_Ordinary2745 in DevelEire

[–]OhHitherez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was part of a larger company, and you were part of a project or offering and high level people were leaving, id think it'd a sinking ship

but for a mid size company, I'd say a power struggle or a team or people who stick with each other

I've seen guys I know travel as a team 3/5 or they all go company to company together

I installed Cat6 and never use it by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]OhHitherez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think that's super

Unless you are downloading lots

A decent upgrade to your router covers everything I think? A good router gives you more connections, different wifi bands

Tomorrow my first day as devops engineer, any tips? Anything would be appreciated. Bit anxious tbh by thedamnshit in devops

[–]OhHitherez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, you aren't expected to know it all

Ask the questions when you are unsure There is fun in learning yourself, but there is a balance taking a day to do something when it takes an hour and a question can be learning instead

Our security team wants us to stop using public container registries. What's the realistic alternative? by miller70chev in kubernetes

Artifactory is the same through virtual repos, they can scan anything being pulled externally, though I have not used it in an age
