It's my responsibility to organize things such that what I need to do matches up with what I know how to do. If I need to do something urgently on an alien OS and I don't immediately know how to do it, the failure doesn't lie with the OS. Why am I not using an OS that I know better? Why don't I have time to read the documentation and understand this alien OS?
- amelius 8y agoBecause, unless you are an IT person, your job is to do work now, which is unrelated to the OS.
- catern 8y agoYour job is also to do work in the future. You should be prepared for the future.
- jlarocco 8y agoThat's really not how it works, though. Even fast food workers get training on the software and tools they have to use.
- derefr 8y agoMy job, as an infrastructure engineer, is essentially to figure out how to fit together parts that 1. I've never seen before today, 2. which have never been fit together before, 3. well-enough that nobody will ever need to touch the weld-point again. There's no training that can prepare you for that, except for training in how to train yourself in something, quickly.
