I actually made that move, ops -> dev four years back. I think it's a great move as you see the whole product lifecycle. Also, the developers are smart, but not as smart as they often seem! I actually have made another career move a few months back. I am now working as Cloudera as an Instructor! Brock Hi,

I was posting for my old team. I actually made that move, ops -> dev four years back. I think it’s a great move as you see the whole product lifecycle. Also, the developers are smart, but not as smart as they often seem!

I actually have made another career move a few months back. I am now working as Cloudera as an Instructor!

I've been following "bcc" for a few months now and always look forward to your posts. I'm intrigued by your career move since I'm always trying to map out my own. I started out as a unix SA about 12 years ago and since then have worked in many exciting web ops environments. Currently I'm managing an online engineering team and am enjoying (almost) every minute of it but I ask myself, "what do I wanna do for the next 30 years of my life?" Scaling and supporting infrastructure is cool but I always felt like the true "producers" were the devs. I've been dabbling with ruby and python and am only now beginning to get into an OOP mindset after many years of bash scripting and find it very engaging and expressive in a creative way. Can I ask how you ended up making the move you did and were/are there any concerns that you have? Mainly I'm just looking for some insight and guidance. Thanks ;) Congrats on your new gig.

Here are couple of bash-fu command lines, that i think are pretty cool 1) The Following displays the prime numbers < 1000 seq 1000 | factor | egrep "([0-9]*): \1$" | cut -d" " -f2 2) The Following Calculates the sum of the prime numbers < 1000 seq 1000 | factor | egrep "([0-9]*): \1$" | cut -d" " -f2 | paste -sd+ | bc It's not particularly usefull, but it's pretty awesome! :) I’m sorry, i couldn’t get your email link to work…so i decided to put a comment instead.

1) The Following displays the prime numbers < 1000

seq 1000 | factor | egrep "([0-9]*): \1$" | cut -d" " -f2

2) The Following Calculates the sum of the prime numbers < 1000

seq 1000 | factor | egrep "([0-9]*): \1$" | cut -d" " -f2 | paste -sd+ | bc

It's not particularly usefull, but it's pretty awesome! :)

To be sure, I don't mean to demean the seriousness of cancer. In fact, in my mind, I am doing quite the opposite. I was trying to convey the power of the Linux/UNIX command line. As I tend to do when stressing something, BASH Cures Cancer is an <strong>extreme</strong>, <strong>extreme</strong> exaggeration. This is evident in that a cure for cancer would certainly be the greatest achievement in all of achievement. I am <em>truly </em> sorry if it offends. With that said, its meant to be taken in a light hearted manner :) Pedro,
