For the first time in my career I’m actually not in this position. Found an employer that’s an ex engineer and just “gets it”. Good compensation, good benefits, and invests in all of our understanding and careers. Sucks seeing all the people just let go so I’m surprised this survey has this result.
Maybe it was conducted before this season of let gos.
This also assumes you have adequate testing capabilities which are important so that you can evaluate unit capabilities, integrated capabilities, and performance characteristics.
On cloud you might have your testing infra be ephemeral and spin up whenever you need to perform the testing (as well as your IAC capabilities).
But this would partially evaluate any issues with the app coordinating with the database.
I would also assume DBA’s can write some test scripts to execute as well.
Not true where I’m at. Lots of professionals have “work sheds” that need to be fed business class internet.
This makes me think of the original Oneida company which was also a commune. I don’t want to be that attached to a company but they flourished.
Use case for those NUCs wasn’t embedded devices but basically workstations that required nominal resources and no external GPU. Thinnish clients.
Additionally I like them as a small host able service box. I think they make great mini k8s clusters.
Exactly. That’s the “problem”. It’s a vehicle for greed not efficiency. Why because efficiency is defined by your intended effect. The cost of the world’s resources, employees quality of life are all sacrificed for ever intensifying levels of “profit” efficiency. Which is absorbed by who?
The largest investors in the world for the most part.
It’s a pipeline of inequality. Systems that were intended to be open and give power to the majority circumvented to look fair but actually provision gross inequality.
And what is the culture? You too could be a billionaire if you work hard enough. If you just contribute to the same system that is promoting inequality you too can rise up.
Am I advocating for socialism or communism? No but it’s fair to say that Capitalism has failed as well.
There needs to be something better / newer that isn’t as vulnerable to exploitation.
One of the few things I’ve actually liked from Intel. Of course it’s not profitable enough.
I hate that “profit” is the driving decision on everything. Does this product have value for our customer? Do our customers like this product. I actually know dozens of folks who enjoy and use NUCs. For hobbies, for work.
One of the most dystopian parts of modern society is that we got co-opted into believing that companies exist to make their owners/investors rich when they should be a vehicle for a group of people (employees) accomplish a goal that’s greater than an individual can accomplish. That means it’s OKAY to make a decision that results in less profit if it helps to achieve the company’s vision!
Providing consumers with budget friendly hobby PC’s should be what Intel’s mission is. Getting computing accessible, easy to use, compact.
Doesn’t provide enough shareholder value 🤢
I’ve used Blender, Fusion360, and Google Sketch. So I’m somewhat familiar with 3d modelling. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of Hardware but Software compatibility is a good topic to cover as well.
Makes a lot of sense honestly because it’s hard to see the demand for “competent” I.T. workers evaporating unless it was b.s. work.
