A house of cards … built on sand?

Starting as a Database Administrator is all sunshine and confidence. "I'll optimize these queries! I'll normalize these tables!" Fast forward a few months of 3 AM production crashes, inexplicable deadlocks, and executives asking why the database is "slow" when they're running SELECT * on 50 million rows... That majestic fox turns into a taxidermied nightmare with thousand-yard stare that's seen things no DBA should see. The database might be running fine, but your soul? That's been DROP TABLE'd without a backup.

They're smaller screens, not as good keyboards, no mouse, not equal shortcuts, etc. Plus many company laptops are managed by them to download specific security software and updates, etc. 1 GenderNeutralBot 2m Hello.

OH. MY. GOD. This is absolute GENIUS! It's a double-layered joke that will make your brain explode! 🤯 In "The Matrix," Neo literally has to decide whether to accept a cookie from the Oracle (who's basically the mystical fortune-teller lady). Meanwhile, in our digital hellscape, we're CONSTANTLY harassed by those annoying "Accept Cookies" popups from websites—including Oracle, the massive database company! It's the PERFECT collision of movie references and web development trauma! And don't even get me started on "third-party cookies"—those digital stalkers that follow you around the internet like that ex who just CAN'T take a hint! Except these cookies come from ORACLE! The drama! The irony! I simply cannot!

Content 112. 18 min. ago Good point but coders need to know that what they do isn't actually that hard. It just isn't and lots and lots of people either already know how to do what you do, or they could learn to do it as well within a very short window. - Vote Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow (a) fromtheeast OP 7 min. ago I am guessing you know how to build an API, build the databases, and then build the deployment infrastructure (eg into AWS)? An actual coder would not make this comment. 4 1 S Reply Share Save Edit Follow ... 01 111 5 min. ago If I don't, I could learn in about 8 or 9 days. That's the truth. I will tell you another thing, what angers you about EM's comment is that you know the coding details are quite beside the point ... he's running things now and that's the main detail that matters.

Content I wanted to make a workshop about having sex targeted towards complete loser virgins that had never even seen a woman. I decided to call it a workshop on "How To Make Love" but that seemed a little clunky so I made it into an acronym. Somehow the message got lost but I still managed to hit my target audience.
