Roommate rant: I started out with trying the roommate situation for $1500 a month or less usually; all I ask out of roommates are that we all stick to a schedule for chores and peace and quiet at night. Every single roommate situation eithe

Why would you ever live with roommates if you want to be sane and productive at work each day?

That can still be fixed by having them set up a service that they have never seen before. Like "oh, you have MySQL experience only? Let's see you set up Postgres," or whatever database service is different from their resume o

Yeah and that's fine, you probably get enough candidates willing to grind through it anyway if you're at The Big 4. Interviewing is a two-way street though so obviously I am going to have it color my decision process. I want to kn

Even if true you can still beat a hundred other things like not having to be on-call, base pay, location (remote vs Manlo Park/ManFrancisco or being senior enough for their alternate locations), and lack of Test Driven Development (fee

Facebook reaches out to me every few months and don't have a degree. I don't have the time or patience to study for their fresh-out-of-cs-grad style interview process though so only go with companies that test for what actually ha

Ops here. Never been on-call or had to work more than 40 hours in the previous 5 years of doing this as a career, but then again, I've always been a consultant in some capacity for multiple clients so YMMV.

That sounds... pretty bad. If you are really in SF there are plenty of jobs around the Bay that offer a good life balance and prevent you from having to sleep under the bridge, just have to look for them.

Digital Ocean is a far better alternative if you don't want to use the other bigger cloud providers, quite frankly. AWS dedicated servers are also far less expensive and you get more bang for the buck. m4.2xlarge, for example, is the m

Having used SoftLayer and experienced their API, support, and GUI, I would not consider that a redeeming feature.

Just go to AngelList and you can find a ton of startup companies and a decent amount of those that are interesting and offer various levels of pay, interesting work, and life balance. It's not overly hard to find a match though it coul

While not a fan of most certs, I would highly recommend the RHCSA to get an understanding of common sysadmin tasks as it is a hands-on exam and fairly relevant to the real world, and RHCE as well. In addition you should find some random ser

I've never seen the phrase "less code" used as a benefit to describe a code base as a benefit so something along the lines of an eye gouging Perl one-liner is what comes to mind. Using some existing module or library rather t

Having a dead code base in 3 years because the author left and nobody else wants to decipher it and contribute back is a bigger liability.
