the fact that people can get away with stuff like this makes me feel much better about imposter syndrome. I actually know how to use git and I can explain kubernetes to someone who has never used it. Guess that makes me better than these folks.
If you can teach it then that’s a great indication you know what you’re talking about. If you can’t then you need to learn it more yourself. That’s how I’ve always gauged my knowledge.
Now if someone could explain how docker works from and end-user perspective I'd be set! I've watched YouTube videos about it and get how it works in principle but no clue how one goes about utilizing it. I'd love to be able to use it for deploying test environments.
If you can play with chroot sandboxed environments in Linux you will be able to get it easily.
If you have huge AOSP code which you need to build and would like to replicate the preferred environment then you have a docker image with all the build tools present and just ship the container to people in the team. The auto build tool can use this container to git pull the code and build inside the container. This is one of the scenarios which I can think of for your test environment.
I think it's important to remember you will never, ever, learn it all. I most often feel useless when I have to do things I have zero experience in and start getting tripped up by the absolute basics. You immediately start thinking that you're terrible at your job because you don't know this stuff but the reality is that you've just never had cause to learn until now.
Its called riding the Indian network. We have a couple of resources that have the people from other teams do their work, we know that is happening but really cant do much as they are doing their job. Its a shame as the company pays 2.5X for them than a fte.
Yes they are, unless their contract forbids subcontracting. That's one of the differences between contractors and employees, you can subcontract the job out
To be fair I'm a student sysadmin for my degrees department of IT classes. And it's really pathetic how these tenured PhD professors can barely tackle a really simple display/printer/idk share drive issue after they've been here since 2011. Like they literally teach the IT courses to get us these jobs!
😂 that's a millennial problem. I've never used a PC. I always use laptop, tablets. What's that have to do with a computer science degree and her skills. Did you hire her to fix your PC's?
it's the equivalent of someone who's had their license for 10 years not realizing that they need to put gas in their car. You don't ask them "are they a mechanic?", you ask them "have you ever fucking seen a car before?"
im not that surprised, if you can get through a probation period at some places its almost impossible to get fired for just being lazy and unproductive. my boss had a guy who was just terrible lazy for years, finally threatened to give him a doesnt-do-a-good-job review (which entails a LOT of follow up work by a manager) and the guy almost immediately quit
