For later
Got my RHEL6 RHCE a little over a year ago. What I’ve learned from being on both sides of the fence, given I started as a developer, and am now back in that role is that for the most part, neither side understands each other. Admins think developers are prima donnas and developers think Admins constantly break things and don’t communicate well.
They’re typically both right.
I guess there is some truth to this but I happen to think that on the whole there are less employers looking for “linux skills” then there are looking for “industry experienced (5 years or more) working in such and such industry on such and such projects with a proven track record - linux skills a plus”.
Meaning that employers don’t hire a “linux person” like the old economy hired a “welder” or an “electrician”. The new economy’s job market is way, way more specialized than that. Again, in my opinion.
If you’re in the business of, let’s say, providing cloud services a la Amazon, not only do you want linux experience but you want someone who has worked in hosted virtual environments or someone who was rolled out applications for same.
So I tend to take these articles with at least a grain of salt.
Why not?
Linux is “stable”, “secure”, “efficient”, “fast” and almost never requires a reboot. hee hee hee
