This is something I was mentioning in another thread. I don't like to toot my own horn but a lot of developers fall into this pigeonholed rut. The hire in this context was hired to do data engineering. Designing ELT/ETL pipes, creating efficiency, sometimes building data models to be used in the front end (Looker), but not build actual reporting for people. He told me specifically he didn't like having to learn so much and having to deal with so many different technical aspects and solutions at at a time.
This is very much a developer role where you are required to find solutions for stuff and start thinking about architecture. This guy wants to just do a clock in clock out administrator type job despite having a background in ETL work it seems like. Or at least a very standardized and familiar task flow rather than being given some ambiguity and having to design, develop and implement solutions himself.

That director they hired like 90 days ago at my company just told us she's bailing. We were planning on hiring 3 in January and all kinds of shit too. I wonder if I can somehow force my way into a Director position with zero management experience?
Lots of money out there and lots of remote only jobs so people are splitting a lot and retention is a lot harder than it used to be. This is going to be the new job market for pretty much all tech positions or soft skill positions from here on out. Ones that explicitly don't really require face to face time. Which applies to a lot of shit now.

I did lol.
I don't think it'll fly though. I'll still be the one hiring out the team for whoever this person is as we have now 3 headcount to hire in January immediately. We had a pretty significant roadmap that must be adhered to for our company's long term plans of going public. Things that 100% must be done.

Bro I literally just had my trainee quit on me for the job being too hard. Finding quality help is a challenge. Not even sure how I am going to fill the 3 roles I need to in Q1 2022.
I think we have a very strong data foundation and clear goals. The problem we had was getting everyone on the same page across orgs and stopping individual actors with lots of leeway to do whatever from Wild Westing shit all the time. That's where this team is meant to shine. Force controls on various things to maintain consistency and data integrity across the business.

Most companies have probably not even found half the servers that are vulnerable to log4j on their networks, let alone patched them. Hopefully most have patched the ones with public-facing network interfaces.
Hopefully the ones with public facing network interfaces have some kind of IPS in front of them with a rule that can scan for the exploit strings, since they're very obvious strings.

Not sure how i missed the last part about wild west in your post. My company has the shittiest form of Agile I have ever seen. Snowflake devs/architects everywhere. half the reason data lake ingestion is so shitty is because the team which isn't great, has to constantly come up with one off solutions cause you know patterns are awful and confine them "man". I spend a good deal of my time playing wackamole.
in the last 3 weeks I have caught a team opening a file share to the "everyone" group so when the code deploy pipeline fucks up, the NOC team can manually pull API and encryption keys which are as you guessed stored unencrypted wide open to every user, machine and process on the network. No secrets server for them. that slows them down!

I remember that Mario Teaches Typing and, to a much greater degree, Everquest, were the way that I learned to type quickly and "correctly".
Since I'm trying to learn Python when I can, I started looking for something kind of like a game to learn Python and I found this - Code the blocks - Learn Python for free
Not bad so far and it's helping. Anyone have recommendations on something along these lines but a little betteR?
This one seems decent, too - Coding Games and Programming Challenges to Code Better

If I was hiring a programmer I'd put them into a cage with a desk and computer suspended over lava and they have to write some code that uses a lot of the following: [ ] ( ) { } ! $ # % and every time they look at their keyboard the cage lowers one foot.

var falseConfidenceArcade = if(${sampleSeverity}>0,${msg_probsDie},${msg_probsLive})
return falseConfidenceArcade
pythonDummy = range[6,9]
print('I don't remember how to iterate lulz\n...but I can newline like a mofo')
You have now witnessed the full power of my coding talent, but I -never- look at the keyboard. So, by your rules, I believe that would put me in the exact same position as the best programmer on the planet.
