Hannaford's recent weeklong outage has me wondering: Do companies truly understand the cost of cutting corners on engineering talent?
These unacceptably long outages which are more frequently occurring at major retailers highlights a common problem I'm seeing in tech: undervaluing highly experienced & knowledgeable engineers. It's way past time for companies to rethink their hiring priorities... stop cheaping out on your Ops and Sec talent, it's going to cost you far more in the end!
I'm exceptionally good at building reliable & resilient systems & teams, so it's super frustrating to be unemployed while witnessing preventable outages for which I could have made a difference. Yes, it's true, 30+ years of engineering experience doesn't come cheap, but I'm damn sure my price is far less than the loss in revenue from a weeklong eComm outage at a major business!
Anyway, if yer looking for a decent engineer/leader, please reach out...
