Tech/Basics/BCE

Business Continuity Engineer

The actual work that systems administrators and systems engineers do is to keep the business running so everyone gets paid.

Fireman or Landscaper

When a fireman states that door needs to be clear for egress people do things to make it happen. When a landscaper says that fence is bent no one does anything. In the industry you will see that project managers are treated like firemen and that the lonely BCE is treated like a landscaper.

Examples

printf (Carheden suggestion)

A developer writes software with a large amount of debugging via printf style output in addition to a
sysloging solution. They release to production with debug logging in both syslog style and with printf
style. The printf logging does not have timestamps or information about what service the messages are from.

This results in large log files and large service logging with little value.
