I’m at about 140k with no college education. 10 years experience. Not really required but certs help tremendously.

I’d believe that overhauls in this sense means that they have completely restructured/breathed new life to their campaign and thus gained favorability

Big difference between a low paying boring office job and a high paying one lol.

The name game? Lmao.

Things would probably be different if teachers made more money or if the requirements were higher. For most people who become teachers, it definitely was not their intended career progression. Just something they landed on.

I think for a lot of people, reading of kind of a luxury they don’t have time for. Kind of hard to hone your literacy skills when you’re living hand to mouth.

Then again, I’m a self taught engineer from a poor immigrant family. So who the hell knows.

Basically because every time this happens the burden of debt is passed towards the tax payers. They just built a long toll lane in my city in what was a 2 lane highway. Adding another lane or two would have alleviated traffic immensely. The company that built it owns all profits for approx 50 years. What could have been a 5 lane highway is still two except now you have the option of paying a ridiculous amount of money to not have to deal with the traffic. This is money that could have been spent on improving the city’s other methods of transportation, trains, bicycles, etc.

It doesn’t affect me personally. I ride a motorcycle every day. It’s just painful to see how private interests are almost never in line with what’s best for constituents

If you say you want to work on the infrastructure side of things, that means networking. Routing and switching. Get a CCNA and you can get a job at 75k in most major cities. Few years experience and eventually a CCNP will put you at about 125k.

Right now, the milk and honey of cloud/data center stuff is NFaaS(network fabric as a service), aka SDN(software defined networking), aka IAC(infrastructure as code) but at the end of the day it’s about working and managing infra as a product of SDLC. You’ll need a strong networking foundation, familiarity with one or more programming languages, familiarity with working with SCMs, familiarity with IAC methodologies, familiarity with Ansible, familiarity with Jinja2, etc. If you have all that and you’re a rockstar engineer you’ll be at about 150k as an NFaaS engineer.

Otherwise, other “cloud” roles are going to be 100% server side. Don’t know much about that side of the house.

vi is basically gonna be on every Linux based machine until the end of time. Nano usually needs to be installed, which in corpo environments, you may not have the ability to do that. I made my peace with vim for sysadmin stuff or simple changes like editing yaml files. Vi also has some pretty good features out of the box which are good to learn.

I’d say yeah because even if you make enough money to live comfortably(100k usd), the type of jobs that are employing you at that rate are going to squeeze every dollar value out of you. I’ve been doing 60+ hour weeks for about two years now thanks to my first six figure job.

As a data center engineer of 10+ years, I struggled to understand this at first. In my world, the hardware does a POST before the OS boots and has an inventory of what hardware components are available, so it shouldn’t matter in what order they are discovered, since the interface names should make a correlation between the interface and the pcie slot that NIC exists in.

Where the water gets muddled is in virtualized servers. The NICs no longer have a correlation to a specific hardware component, and you may need to configure different interfaces in the virtualized OS for different networks. I think in trying to create a methodology that is agnostic to bare metal/virtualized OSs, it was decided that the naming convention should be uniform.

Probably seems like bloat to the average admin who is unconcerned with whether these NICs are physical or virtual, they just want to configure their server.

There’s a documentary on YouTube called “The internet’s own boy”, if you want to learn more. Basically, he was offered a 6 month plea, but he would be a convicted felon, and basic logic/morality tells you that you shouldn’t plead guilty to a crime that you didn’t commit. However, the justice system is very imperfect, and often people plead guilty for reduced sentencing even if they’re not guilty. He stood on principle until his legs gave out. they were already in millions spent in attorney fees. Not a shred of justice can be found in how Aaron’s story ended.

Well honestly I have the skills of a diamond rank but the matchmaking keeps putting me in with silver rank teammates so I guess I’ll never get out of (barely) gold
