DevOps engineer moving to physical CCTV biz – how to manage the mess?
- jongi_ct 10mo agoI’m a DevOps engineer in Cape Town. I started a CCTV/monitoring biz thinking it was "infrastructure as hardware." I was wrong. I’ve been bleeding money on a school project due to: Voltage drop/PoE limits over 100m. Bad labor: No "git revert" for a hole drilled in the wrong place. Workmanship: My "clean code" mindset is failing in the "meatspace" of messy cabling. To those who moved from software to physical infrastructure: How do you enforce "clean" workmanship with manual labor? What are your must-have tools for the physical layer? How do you stop "scope creep" when you're 10 meters up a ladder?
