Uh, what? Are you nuts? Hire somebody.
- jmuguy 8y agoI work for an MSP servicing small businesses, Triplebyte sounds like one of our clients. I guess since they're developers they think IT is optional and they can save on costs (and/or their time is worth less than ours, which I doubt). And then later those decisions come home to roost and it costs more to pay some company like ours to come in and do things properly. I mean hell with modern wifi like Ubiquiti or Meraki you shouldn't even have to think about half the stuff in this article.

- mmt 8y ago> Hire somebody. This is easier said than done, even if they're convinced it's worth the money. Not only are startup founders faced with the usual problems associated with hiring competent technical people (ironically a problem the OP is attempting to help), but this would be hiring someone whose competence they'd be much less qualified to evaluate. This effect can be seen in "DevOps" (as a title) postings from startups that emphasize Dev (programming against a cloud API and/or "automate everything!"). That kind of redefinition is much harder to do convincingly for office IT.
