- paradox242 4y agoYes I get the sense that we in IT are definitely one of the minority professions here. I think I migrated over here sometime in the early 2010s when Slashdot was on its way to irrelevance. I have a general interest in innovation, technology, and studied some computer science in school, so the subjects discussed here are of more interest to me than say, /r/sysadmin. Along the way I've also taught myself a number of programming languages to a crude level of proficiency, which has actually been a force multiplier in my role, even as a non-developer. Increasingly these cloud SaaS apps I am have responsibility for managing include barely any built-in administration tools and functions and instead it is up to you to build your own tools using their API.
- MaxPengwing 4y agoIm just good at learnign new things relatively fast and well enought to answer peoples questions nad find solutions. So now somehow I do borderline developer support. Which has now pushed me to finally learn coding.. I mean if Im already giving support to devs, why not become one.... It's interesting how many new SaaS and other tech which has admin and upkeep as a mere after thought. Not to mention documentation, which the engineers and dves I speak to for some reason harbour a deep seated resentment against writing.... which I dont get that part.... why?
