I was reading an AMA with Todd Howard of Bethesda a while back and noticed he said they were hiring. So I took a look specifically in my specialty (ops/cloud ops etc). I hesitate to use the buzzword dev ops because all of our code is focused on automating operations, enhancing reliability and balancing with cost so my core devs can do their work better, faster etc. Anyway. In Bethesda land it was called NOC admin or something with a very clear deadline of you becoming a developer only within three years or getting out. It made total sense why fallout 76 has so many issues with their net code. They don’t actually want people with any experience in managing these things, they want guys to just hit reboot it seems and use it as a jumping block. At my company it’s telling how little networking and systems stuff our coders and sql folks know and when left to their own, things run pretty bad. My company has learned from this and we have pretty good reliability as a result and have a unique ability to scale and automate, especially products that were done by different core teams since my team often comes in and makes it all integrate well. Anyway, all that said it was pretty eye opening and while I still like video games here and there, and even Bethesda ones, I have no desire to go work in that industry. I’ll stick to my sector.
