Btw has anyone been a developer or software engineer for a really large corporation (e.g. Bank of America)? I have heard that it largely consists of being yelled at and rushed by people who don't understand or appreciate your job.

I won't say yelled at, but you will be rushed. Which leads to bugs or writing code in a way you don't like sometimes. Hence these security mofo's eating out here. Lol. My lead was a programmer so he understands but our manager has never written a single line of code in his life.i think he even stated its just "input/output" one day. Hence I continue to dream of the day/ can't wait until my game company forms. I want to be around nothing but technical people. Never want to manage people etc.
The rushing part only happens when a deadline nears. Other than that its write some code/surf the net.

Lol. Ya I wanted to smack the shyt out of him. O well they only care if it works or not. They don't give a shyt how clean/well designed the program is. Another reason why I like games so much. You know right away.

I did some oracle stuff ages ago, even passed the first part of one of oracle 9 certs( the SQL one ). But the only reason I even got into programming was games. I think building a world people can enjoy vs looking at tables or dealing with credit card/ check code all day. Nope can't do it.lol

Here's something I'm working on now. I stopped trying to create a "Game" but rather keep messing around until it hits me. stop trying to force it. ( Inspired by minecraft & Cube World )

real good breh 
my queries are efficient as i could get them, i set indexes on the columns i'm searching on the most and i profiled them and it's still not up to par but from my research mysql and relational db's in general are not suited for the type of data and queries i'm working with. most places in this industry uses column oriented db's like kdb (which i understand why now) or roll their own.

nice. game programming is fun it's the right combination of math and programming. one of my favorite classes in grad school was a computer graphics class where we had to create our own rendering engine from scratch.

Why can't typical DBA's understand the fundamentals of configuring a DB server?
Had to condense and remove a SQL log file that has grown more than 60% causing one of our datastores to fill up.
Remote DBA experts are the ones that set it up but couldn't resolve the issue.

@bdizzle what's your story on getting into security and what's that field like? i'm curious cause i got into computers and learned programming from trying to hack into other people machines in the early days of aol chatrooms and i still read about security here and there out of curiosity nowadays.

I got into security from being a network guy. Worked mostly with AD, then got a contract for a bank doing AD security work. Decided to just focus on security and 5 or so years later here I am.
Security is a pretty big branch of IT since it touches everything. Programming, Networking, Databases, Web Sites, Servers, Policies, Processes......everything.
If you want to get into security, your first step is getting the CISSP (if you qualify). It'll open up a lot of doors for you. Plus the bytches love it
