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




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.

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:scust:

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 :takedat:

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

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

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

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

Me: :dame::what::martin::mjcry:

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"

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