There are still 2 days left for the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon, but I don't have much expectation and joy for this Spring Festival, but I feel that it is no different from the usual holiday.
Turn on the computer to sort out the project materials of this year, and see a directory called "handover materials", which is the handover documents of colleagues who have left the company in the past few years, and there are 6 folders, corresponding to the project efforts left by 6 former colleagues.
As these directories stirred in my mind, I suddenly felt a sense of despair and loneliness, and a thought flashed: I regretted it for the first time after so many years in the database!
New to ITIndustry - I'm still a programmer ape
When I graduated, our information and computing science was a very strange major, and I didn't learn data and programming, but I didn't learn it deeply. Whenever a teacher is asked what careers he can pursue in the future, the teacher either shakes his head or says, "You can do anything!" ”。
In my senior year, I was in a software development company, and there were 7 or 8 people involved in the interview. The boss proctored the test directly on the computer, and wrote a portal registration and login page, which is extremely simple. When I saw other people's neat interfaces, I knew that it was stable, after all, although my page was also very simple, the eye-catching and jumping slogan "Welcome to xxx, where your dreams began" seemed so "fulfilling" in comparison.
It was not only a demonstration of skills, but also a stepping stone to break the boss's heart. I'm not a smart person, but maybe I have a little bit of strength in observation and understanding, and I didn't deliberately meet this boss, but just expanded my understanding from the perspective of the company's needs, and did it naturally. Maybe since then, I've had signs of not doing my job.
Every line you type out can be reflected in a specific function, which may be the joy and sense of accomplishment of being a programmer.
What is comfort, this is comfort!
However, this personal sense of accomplishment did not last long, after graduation, because of the call of my buddy to return to the Northeast, became a data engineer, all day long to do data warehouse modeling, report to Party A, although there are also a lot of esoteric skills, knowledge, but I never think this profession is the IT world. The report will be issued in half an hour, and a work order for 3 or 5 days will be submitted, and the daily life is really comfortable. Playing cards with colleagues during the lunch break, eating together after work and bragging, a bowl of noodles, a chicken rack, a bottle of old snow, a total of 12 yuan! Buddies get together to play mahjong at night, not to win money, just to play, is to have fun! How happy this kind of life is, I was going to end this life.
Once you meet a woman, you will be mistaken for life!!
Later, the unit came to a beautiful woman on a business trip to the Beijing headquarters, I thought that I was "handsome and chic" I easily handled, but after many years, I really responded to the wise saying "high-end hunters often appear as prey". Since then, my unassuming self-motivation has stuck to my body like a dog's skin plaster and cannot be torn off. Moving out of the house shared by buddies, quitting smoking, studying databases, exercising; took advantage of the DBA job change and heroically took the job.
The nightmare began without warning, with deployments, upgrades, migrations, breakdowns, and most of the planned, unexpected maintenance operations taking place in the middle of the night when you should have fallen asleep. In any publicity**, the computer room of the data center is full of futuristic technology and a suit and white shirt walking inside. In fact, there is only the endless roar of thousands of mechanical fans, accompanied by the beeping beeps one after another, the heat wave of high-load "burning" and the strong cold wind of high-power air conditioners are intertwined, and the various equipment status indicators are constantly flashing.
And this is just the usual sweating, with the occasional bleed. Once the Oracle RAC of the IBM small computer P590 failed in the middle of the night, it was suspected that it was a power supply problem, and only the same model machine offline at the other end of the computer room could provide replacement parts. So at two o'clock in the middle of the night, a desolate figure holding a 120-kilogram huge iron box (power supply), dangling from the east of the building to the west of the building, difficult to move to the rack, tired and panting, but it turned out that the power supply was also problematic. Fortunately, the 590 had two power supplies, so I carried the bad one back and replaced it with another one, and the problem was solved. But between more than 100 pounds of angular equipment and hard racks, the human flesh is as soft and fragile as a cake, and it is inevitable that the palms and arms will be scratched.
After repairing the database, the sky was already slightly bright, sitting on the ground, the soaked clothes were sticking to the body like a piece of ice under the cold wind, the roar of the machine seemed to be pity for this miserable man at this moment, looking at the mess of the place, at that moment I did not have any sense of accomplishment, just felt endless exhaustion and sadness! After packing up the tools and wiping the equipment, I left the computer room just in time to meet my colleagues at work, so the lively DBA also returned.
When I had just left the Northeast for less than 2 months, my colleagues sent me a few **, large patches of blood everywhere in the computer room, corridors, and elevators. Because 2 fully equipped P780s were brought into the computer room, the floor collapsed, and the head of the master deploying the equipment was smashed, but fortunately, the machine was supported by the 590 on the side! 120 Lala lay in the hospital for 1 month, and did not go to work for more than a year, although he was compensated accordingly, but it was also hovering on the boundary between life and death. And these things are very close to the DBA, and the reason why my colleague is not there is because he happened to take a leave of absence that day.
Although it has been written earlier that enterprises should use DBA well, in fact, few companies can really use DBA well, and most companies underestimate DBA. SoIf you want a comfortable job, don't want to be under too much pressure, and want to make yourself happy, then never think about doing hard jobs such as DBA and operation and maintenance!!
After coming to Beijing, I took the team for a few years, but it turned out to be a bigger hardship, and I was called up in the middle of the night to support the brothers in front of me. When Deadpool was released in China, he spent 200 yuan on the weekend to go to the movies with his wife (yes, it was the former colleague who "trapped" me here. I don't fight with myself, isn't beer mahjong fragrant, I have to be self-motivated! ）。Just before entering the theater, I received an emergency from the front-end brothers**, and I had no choice but to rush to the scene immediately. My wife stayed at the door of the cinema and sold the ticket for 30 yuan, and she was embarrassed to be regarded as a ticket seller! Neither of them saw it, after all, she couldn't understand what Deadpool was without me. ~
This is the daily life of those years, usually the first sound is about to produce stress, this is the work of DBA, operation and maintenance, and delivery!
Later, I really didn't want to carry it, so I seized the opportunity to turn to pre-sales, which was really degenerate.
Now, hey! How to say it. I'm just trying to toss delivery, toss DBA
The pre-sales of the domestic database are not much better, but after recalling so much, the mood is much better, and there will be a chance to complain about the pre-sales work later).
