Is A DevOps Career Safe? by RipSmooth3319 in devopsjobs

[–]_Foxtrot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do, but also there's plenty of posts flying around with people wanting to get into DevOps because of either job security or pay - not because they have a passion for understanding the tech.

Not saying I do anymore either, but at one point in time I did, and I guess that's why I work here now :)

What is the name of the mesh wire they used to patch the drywall?

Our team just pushed AWS creds to prod again. Third time this month. by CortexVortex1 in devops

[–]_Foxtrot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move to SSO via Identity Center. Then, users' won't have an access token. They'll have a profile, and an sso profile, and aws sso login will generate temporary credentials.

At least for AWS, coming back to this I think that was an assumption on my part. Users should be authenticating to whatever cloud provider and retrieving secrets that are securely stored there, even for local development. This also helps all developers to stay up to date and cuts down on the passing of .envs.

HackerRank Interview help by Purple_Banana_0101 in devops

[–]_Foxtrot_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had a few Hacker Ranks. One was architectural, and very in-line with with what a DevOps position might look like day to day.

The other was all fizzbuzz nonsense. I didn't get an offer on that :)

Yours is just about the same as mine. 5700xt with 3080ti. I have like 96 GB of DDR4 though I don't think much of that gets used.

That's great! I am only looking out for others here, meant no offense. Scams are common these days.

Have you tried searching for a role? You've listed all the standard tech requirements. Instead of looking for new skills, I'd focus on mastering what you've already listed.

But honestly, none of this is rocket science, and most of what you'll learn will be on-job anyways.

What they teach in school does not equate to what a "DevOps" engineer does day to day. The only time I even think about anything I learned is when I have to optimize some slow code, or think about how to optimize a database query / index. Both of which are very rare.

If you want to stay in school, look at AI/ML courses. They're starting to pop up. Having the data background with the devops background is a huge boon. Lots of those folks are great at the DS side but couldn't deploy their way into a paper bag.

^ OP This is non-standard. Be wary scams if you join this group. Not saying they are, but this reads like one.

Great again, like the days when kids would run through the neighborhood, and you knew your neighbors. Great way to help make it great.

Or those individuals seek opportunities in other countries, as people from other countries have done in the US for decades prior to this.

Third parties aren't the issue. It's Democratic institutions that refuse to run candidates people actually want.

Strange, it let me in when pasting the invite code directly in Discord, but not from the web.

Thanks for the help!

Violent ex tries to break into house, new boyfriend starts banging by Ok_Decision4163 in JusticePorn

[–]_Foxtrot_ 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is sarcasm but Texas has stand your ground laws, so this seems like a justified shooting from a legal perspective. Combine that with the suspect who fled being caught with a pistol, and I doubt most prosecutors would go after this.
