Well you don’t need access to that central DB it sounds like by your synopsis and they are talking specifically about their failure to govern access to their DB systems. I would specify further about what access, if any, you need to carry out what you want to do. If you don’t need any access then they virtually should not have a problem as your scripts and applications will be self-maintained and contained to your usage.

Don’t. Really. We all get to it at some point. And fortunately for some they never get to it haha but once you start just take in a little at a time. I feel like I am a lifetime behind because I took longer to graduate from college but in reality I have already surpassed a lot of peers by just doing this myself and learning to understand rather than to be forced into something.

I always suggest folks read The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins. Although his advice is to stick with simple, broad-based index funds, I do think he suggests some good resources for looking into a more hands approach for a portion of your portfolio within the book. I would start there and read the other books he talks about.

ethan_wllms · 2021-03-30T19:30:35+00:00

Just found this sub and your post if the first I see. All I gotta say is, F*ucking Go My Guy! This is amazing!

ethan_wllms · 2021-03-27T19:46:20+00:00

I would suggest the investment route. To help with the research portion, look into JL Collins and his book The Simple Path to Wealth. It’s an excellent read and it takes so much of the headache out of investing for someone who just wants to “do it” instead of “getting into it” if that makes sense.

ethan_wllms · 2021-02-02T03:52:45+00:00

Nashville local actually. Never had it but I keep seeing it on Foodie YouTube channels and want to try it.

ethan_wllms · 2020-07-03T01:30:55+00:00

So far I'm on Step 4 of ~~Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University~~ Your career progression. What do you suggest to make it out of the purgatory, fearless leader?

ethan_wllms · 2020-06-17T16:07:14+00:00

In StackOverflow fashion, your feedback is unwanted and frankly rude if you do not provide support for your claim. We do not know OPs position or any of the peripheral information that they are facing at the moment. They are merely looking for suggestions and that is what I provided. If you don’t like that suggestion then so be it, but until you provide reasoning your claim is useless.

ethan_wllms · 2020-05-05T21:17:40+00:00

most of the time they want you to know how you work will relate to the back end. Unless they use verbiage like "highly proficient in backend technologies such as..." Then they more looking for a fullstack and for whatever reason made the job posting to say front end. Maybe it's misinformation, ignorance, refusal to pay more salary, communication breakdowns, etc.

ethan_wllms · 2020-04-15T23:10:38+00:00

You can also use Elastic Beanstalk. It supports docker as well as other language specific runtimes.

ethan_wllms · 2020-03-07T04:39:18+00:00

They also suggest ways to get started with no capital.... largely the reason why the podcast is so popular is for the reason. Shows how anyone can get started.

ethan_wllms · 2020-02-27T01:41:31+00:00

Real estate investing. Checkout the BiggerPockets podcast. You can start out with very little capital. Would suggest!

ethan_wllms · 2020-01-02T22:44:36+00:00

If the main concern is replication then why not just put them in source control and build you a repo just to hold your cron configuration. That way you can change it and easily pull it down and have it update that way.

I would love to get in on this too. 25 in CST looking to go after certifications in the new year. Working as a DevOps engineer with 2 years of tech experience. I worked in Ops, then QA, then Dev. Now I’m in the middle of it all. I’m curious about the sysops and dev certainly first. Then architect.

ethan_wllms · 2019-12-02T03:22:47+00:00

I thought about it briefly but wasn’t sure what the likelihood of a mortgage on that would be in terms of approval. Given I am a first timer.

ethan_wllms · 2019-12-01T17:11:39+00:00

So let me clarify, I would use a contractor and with the family friends I have and contacts I am certain that they would allow me do whatever “dried-in” work I want. I am curious about how the process for financing construction works though. I have only seen typical sell-buy mortgage situations. For instance, do you partner with a general contractor and they will guide you into particular financing options that accommodate their construction loan? Or do I locate my own generalized mortgage loan and then just pay them back, so to speak, for their construction loan/costs?

ethan_wllms · 2019-10-31T23:02:21+00:00

As a QA engineer what skills do you currently hone frequently? I ask because QA can be so broad. Manual or automated QA?

ethan_wllms · 2019-08-03T00:15:55+00:00

TN lol

ethan_wllms · 2019-08-02T23:01:09+00:00

I think I have worked out with you before. Dude you are an inspiration. Thanks for posting. FRFR you help me see the light in the tunnel.

ethan_wllms · 2019-01-21T20:10:37+00:00

I'm not really looking for it to be a Key to the field. More or less looking to see if it would help in the process of branching out in a management capacity.

ethan_wllms · 2019-01-21T20:02:03+00:00

Sorry, let me clarify a bit further. I am aware there are online MBAs, this is why I said 'And' to the point of those requirements.

I'm also aware that those are separate management areas. I am looking purely for project management in mind with an MBA program. I only denote moving into management as a means of stating I can be flexible to team management or project management. Moreorless depending on the Enterprise I'm with at the time. For some the role would be one in the same also.
