How often is that Mongo Course offered @Kitsch ?

I got a ton of stuff at work on top of a side project Im doing so i wont have time to put in real effort this summer. Im wondering if I could just do a UDEMY class to get the DBA cert but even then I think they only offer the cert a few times a year.

How much time did you put in for the class a week?

4 times a year? It might be more, I'm not too sure.

How much time did you put in for the class a week?

For the first few weeks, 2 hours or so. As the course progressed and the degree of difficulty of homework increased, I found myself spending 3 or 4 hours a week.

You think dedicating saturday mornings to this course is enough? I wanna be sure im digesting the info and Im not just burning through assignments. This is an intro course so I assume it shouldnt be tough especially for someone with relational DB knowledge?

If you're serious about it, yes.

It's introductory stuff, you should be fine. MongoDB isn't relational, it's a document store database but having relational database knowledge doesn't hurt.

Gotcha. Last question, did you sit for any of the certs? Like I said I plan on doing the DBA cert at the end of this course.

oh hell nah!!!

I know what you mean. I went from a place where there was a policy, procedure and documentation to everything to a place where people think it's OK to reboot a server in the middle of the day and not notify anyone. It use to drive me mad that these things were not only done but people legit thought it was normal practice. I just take it as a learning experience on what not to do.

I would deadass get fired if I ever did some dumb shyt like that in the middle of the day without notifying anyone

That should be the case everywhere. I've just set up alerts for myself so that when these things happen I'll know rather than waste time troubleshooting.

My project was ahead of schedule. I was feeling myself at that point

Boss: CZR, did you get my email?
Me: Yes sir, do you want to me fix it?

Boss: No, just create a ticket and send it to the Ops team.

Me: Sure thing, chief just to confirm, you want me to create 1 ticket, right?

Boss: No, create a ticket for each instance
Me: But that would take 2000+ tickets
Boss: Better get started

Me:

I almost walked smooth out that bihh.

Edit: False alarm, brehs. Boss ran up on me after the 200th ticket talking bout "I was kidding"

Got an interview at the same company I am at now for a promotion implementing a new system to the organization which I had prior experience before taking the job I have now. Wish me luck brehs.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

You guys have any experience with Zendesk? How is it? We're thinking of migrating from slow ass Supportworks ticketing system to that

 

[Apollo Creed]

Any brehs in Product Management or plugged in with someone in it?
