Ooof my guy if you got folks running queries on your PROD db you got bigger problems even if they were the best SQL writers in the world.

You can't fuck up step 1 and complain the rest of the steps aren't working. I write and maintain a set of ELT jobs and a bunch of front end dashboards. By default, we never run analytics queries in PROD db. I create views and such for the simple queries to run.

I picked up SQL a few years ago for a school project. It took me a week. The DBA stuff just came by itself as I went along. Query optimizations took a while but you don't need to write every query super optimally. If the DB tables are set up correctly your users will not have to worry about it at all.

My previous comment assumes you guys already have a db set up for analytics where folks can run queries. If you don't then IDK how the director of IT got their job...That's very basic shit.

SQL isn't hard to learn unless they're asking you guys to do T-SQL and PLSQL.

For simple queries it's pretty easy.

What the fuck is the Constitution actually good for if these fucks can just magically ascribe the meaning to random sentences written by old fucks over 200 years ago when horses were the mode of transportation.

Twitter’s lawyers argued that the company made only an oral promise that was not a contract, and that Texas law should govern the case, according to Courthouse News, which first reported the ruling.

Are you shitting me? They argued that it was a fucking lie so they shouldn't be charged? Also no one gives a shit if you're a Texan company...But you're doing business in California with California residents, you have to follow California rules. Else don't do any business in California.

Can't fucking believe that not honoring an employment contract is not a fucking violation in Texas...Go figure.

IDK, they'd usually bring out the perfect solution fallacy and say that FDA didn't really prevent it from happening.

The only thing is that they're not allowed to sell anymore(I hope), so the damage will not get any worse.

Don't get me wrong I hate the prior guy. But isn't it always funny how the Democratic party in their times of super majority don't tend to fix the shit entirely that the last guy rammed through. Take the tax cuts and removing alot of deductions for the working class. Wouldn't it make sense to undo those tax cuts and tax increases?

Both sides aren't the same but this ain't a left vs right issue, it's a class war.

Former healthcare to software engineer working on a master's here. My colleagues who were licensed back in healthcare weren't all of the same quality. They all made mistakes at one point or another, some pretty bad some minor. There's no difference though, minor could just as well become major.

The way they get around it in healthcare is by throwing more people at the problem. You have a physician who is good at pointing in the general direction of the problem and a solution, then you have all the auxiliary staff who will narrow down on the solution based on their field. But at any single point all of them could fuck up, or one of them could.

Now that I'm a software engineer and I've written enough code to do stuff. I can confidently say that licensing will not solve this problem. Especially if there aren't enough people involved. Which is probably what was missed in the beginning.

Anyway long rant over.

How many years of experience did you need to get that job?

That's good what's your title?

I'm a level 2 Engineer and I make close to what you're making TC. Hopefully maybe more come next year. And I don't work for the big 5. I work for a hospital group. Seniors make well close to double that in TC. Principals make slightly more.

Also there are more jobs for higher levels than in non tech hubs. Career wise you'll probably be making more complex systems too.

You have it good for sure, but you're the outlier my guy.

Hmmm you're not going to be making 150k a year in a shit fly over state.

I moved from the Bay Area to the East side of Washington near Seattle, folks here don't make as much as I do for sure, at least not on average. We both have good salaries so we can afford a lot of things. We essentially got to keep most of our bay area salaries.

But even then if we need a big repair we still have to sit down and plan out the money.

I can't even imagine what it's like for folks around here.
