Interview
This is our colleague Marc Sánchez. He works as a SysAdmin Developer at Tappx and started his career as a computer repair technician. Now he works with servers and says that patience is the most essential skill in his job.
Answer: I started a few years ago as a computer repair technician, I showed my web development interest and changed my position in the company I was in. A few months later, working with lots of services, I realized I wanted to work with servers instead of coding, so the company I was working for let me work with their small (but cool for me) infrastructure.
A: I love when different services work together in a nearly perfect way. Thinking about some features, implement them, and see how they manage to work together… It’s like magic.
A: A lot of patience, and when I say a lot is really A LOT. You can be configuring some service and… boom, not starting. Looking for its cause is easy because we have logs that say what’s wrong. But sometimes there’s little or null service documentation, and there’s when most people start struggling. I’d say patience, good sleep, and knowing when to rest from the computer.
A: I’ve recently got back to my tech roots and tried to code a self-hosted service, and did it in a language I’ve been years looking to learn for.
A: I start every day with a cup of tea (replaced with orange juice on summer, tea is too hot) and see our “in progress” projects and tasks. Check what was done last day and see what can we do on the starting day.
A: Lots of things need to be improved. But things are changing so fast and the tech industry has a lot of future. I expect more changes than I’m currently expecting, so the best for us is to be ready.
A: Manually 0 emails, as I don’t need to use email to do my tasks, but as sometimes it’s necessary, I’d say 0.05 emails per day ;P.
A: My magical and beloved terminal, followed by Slack and Firefox. I love lots of other apps, especially if they’re open-source.
A: I use to try to go on a walk or bike. Maybe I don’t disconnect mentally or digitally. But my body needs to disconnect from a comfortable and back-breaker chair.
A: I’d go for safe things, such as buying a normal house in a quiet town or city, with several services. And if there’s a lot of money, maybe a great trip with some friends to share my wealth.
