@not_benis Why are you even getting certified or whatever for hardware it's a waste of time do networks or security or literally anything more specialized.

@not_benis A+ sucks I skipped mine because it was an insult to my intelligence :fedora:

Why yes I do use thermal paper for my receipt machine on a daily basis I definitely will use this in my virtualization job how did you know :brain0:

Do Security+ or Network+ or Linux+ or get MCSA certified

@splitshockvirus @not_benis I have A+ and Linux+ and IMO they were useless to my career. Only certs that ever seemed to help me were Security+ and CCNA. I think RHCSA/RHCE would’ve been a better choice than Linux+ but my current gig doesn’t require any certs so I’m not pursuing any more unless that changes.

@swaggboi @not_benis Red hat would be better than Linux+

I only like CompTIA because they are vendor neutral. But companies aren't vendor neutral.

@splitshockvirus @swaggboi @not_benis i looked at the red hat certificate a while back and it required you to write ansible playbook but like who cares dude

@splitshockvirus @eric @not_benis If you’re thinking enterprise IT selects the best tool for the job, prepare to suffer.

Some moron took our logs from plain text files to tables in a SQL DB because they like ‘big data’ or whatever. I now spend hours week after week telling people how to run SQL queries just to get some customer’s source IP (or just running them for them if they’re too far gone)

@eric @not_benis @splitshockvirus @m0xee Idk if this is a hot take but isn’t storing JSON as a datatype just MongoDB with extra steps…

@swaggboi
As far as I understand it (and back in my days few would've come up with the idea of storing something as complex right in the DB👴🏿) — there are no extra steps! As PostgreSQL allows working with JSON objects stored in it. So effectively this just shifts some workload to the DB instead of dealing with it in Elixir.
