I've been working with Linux since 1994 and my last job was over 8000+ systems in 12 Datacenters. Currently I work at a hardware company and we develop Android for the hardware we create. Daily occurrences are developers insisting that Unix files must be owned by certain users and that permissions must be 777 on CIFS shares. When I got here they all had admin/root and open ports on the firewall inbound for no apparent reason. We are in a small building and they don't get why we can't add more 40 core Xeon servers to a tiny computer room. They modify the Jenkins build server and then get bored and move on to something else. Thus the releases we have to deliver every Wed. and Fri. are broken come Wed. and Fri. morning. Most of these guys are Windows guys with 3-5 years experience using TFS. They don't understand why we can't just buy all Microsoft Products when are budget is allocated to getting them Jira among IT needs. They think we should implement LDAP on everything instead of delivering to customers who are paying us millions. Meanwhile I've got to do IT, Linux Engineering, Devops and manage 100+ developers in India in only 60+ hours per week. You wonder why I value "the right technical decisions" and get grumpy? Oh but I don't sulk I just take away access and tell them to go write code and stop breaking the infrastructure. In my off hours rather than sleep I'm setting up a Cloud environment on AWS to provide sandboxes to devs in India and provide CI. I'm not dogmatic in anything, I believe in the right tool for the job and the most efficient way to get work done properly. Since clients pay for our T&M they appreciate me and I got a promotion on my 9th week. Now that the developers are writing code and don't have to think about IT needs there is no problem. They've learned to appreciate doing thing "technically right". That means to me using the tools you have to provide scalable infrastructure and making sure deliverable are always met. I've seen many companies struggle for years to turn profit only to go borrow more money. I learned from those mistakes and my last companies revenue doubled to 300 million in one year after 20 years in business. My current company had one project three months ago and we now have 10 starting up. We should have 10x revenue in the next 2 years.
