Guys why are you buying a SAN with enterprise support when this 2U ProLiant full of disks is cheaper??? Think of how much of someone else's money you will be saving by rolling your own and taking on all the liability for it being a huge piece of poo poo.

I'm desperately trying to get local NAS arrays axed in favor of the research data being put on our campus-wide network storage array. Having 5 years worth of research data wiped out because a NAS failed or a fire burnt down a building just isn't acceptable to me.

No, but if you've made the risks clear and they're acceptable to the stakeholders, sometimes you just need to move on.

I mean this is no real extra effort for me and my argument has already been made. If they're fine with blowing 5-10k for data recovery services every time a NAS dies then that's on them. Just something I'm trying to push as we update our backup and recovery strategy for the research labs.

To be clear, there is no official policy and I'm trying to move it away from a free for all system where every lab manager decides their own DR setup.

The only useful thing I remember coming out of Spiceworks was this guy who wrote some good WSUS maintenance scripts, who then tried to pull all copies of it from the forums and spin up a company. FlyingJ or J-Dude or J-something or other.

AdamJ. It's extra funny because he tried to monetize it like two years before WSUS became deprecated market-wise (yeah OK before the people still using it get shirty, I know it's still out there and in wide use, but my meaning is "it's no longer something someone would use by default or if they could avoid it"). I mean I guess if he gets money out of it congrats to him, but hitching your wagon to a product that's been around for 20 years just before it becomes a white elephant is pretty amusing.

I just had the first phone call in the Amazon TAM interview process and apparently I had done well enough on the tech / leadership assessments to skip the first round of technical interviews. Has anyone else who interviewed there had that happen? I'm just kind of confused because I felt like I barely scraped by. I guess I'll be taking half a day off for the 4 hour interview panel sometime soonish. I didn't expect to get this far at all.

I have a second round interview on Monday for a job, passed the initial HR hurdle. More pay, more PTO, management title (with no direct reports) and a career path ... I'm pretty stoked!

Just accepted an offer so today is my :yotj: moving on to taking a TAM role as a SaaS company. Significant pay bump, bonus structure, stock options. I'm taking a gap week to just lay in my hammock and read Hemmingway, but I'm excited to move from doing the things to talking about doing the things and making 30% more.

I thought the inverse was supposed to be true?? I'm so goddamn tired of people at this job I started 8 months ago talking about doing work, or talking about setting up a time to talk about doing work, instead of actually doing any work. It's so frustrating.

Really depends on the person. The worst just comes down to being in a spot where the work:people-stuff ratio is way off your personal liking.

I personally really enjoy tech strategy and people leadership; with enough technical hands-on to keep myself current and confident. Often the last piece is on my own time, and driven by like 70% interest / 30% professional relevance (thankfully there's a lot of overlap).

In summary: people like different things and it's important to know what you personally like and how to get there.

We are looking at this from only who gets paid more, and from that vantage point talking is better than doing. My career goal is to be a commissioned sales engineer for a SaaS, and this is a step in that direction.

I interviewed for a toooon of SE, TAM Roles, and Senior DevOps roles, I went with a TAM role because it's a good 50/50 split of technical and customer facing.

I think there's a difference between "endless talking about work at an organizational level without results" and "talking out work and seeing it executed (or flying off to the next customer)". It's that pit where you talk and talk but there's no forward movement that's demoralizing to everyone.
