> I solve problems with configuration before code
I sometimes write code, I sometimes configure things, I sometimes write code to write configuration, sometimes I rearchitect the damn thing. I do whatever it takes to reach the business goal.
If all you know is how to configure something, it's like only having a hammer in your toolbox
If all you know is how to code something, it's like only having a hammer in your toolbox
If all you know is how to run a network, it's like only having a hammer in your toolbox
Not many companies want someone that will move from network problems to code problems to configuration problems to physical problems to supplier problems to security problems over the course of an afternoon, but if you do get a job like that it's nice and varied.
- trey-jones 5y agoWell I appreciate the feedback, but I didn't mean that I only configure. But over a decade in the business, mostly as a dev first (an infra-knowledgeable dev seems to be the term being bandied about here), I discovered that infra is my first love. So I don't wish to outsource it.
