dbcooper Wrote:Do you like your job? What does the job entail?

yes. at my current job i started out as a webdev bug fixer. front and backend doing everything from css, sass/stylus/less, js (nodejs and client side), php, mysql, reddis, etc. my company does a wide variety of sites in many different technology stacks. it was all under the gun problem solving. challenging work when some of the bugs are only reproduceable on a certain platform/version. but i've recently moved to the devops team. devops is just a hip way to say modern *nix sysadmin. i've been writing automation scripts for our jenkins-ci server to automatically build docker images for stage and prod environments based on post commit hooks. then deploying the images to our mesos cluster with chef scripts. things that took a team of people an few hours to setup now happen automatically with the simple power of POSIX shell scripts :D
