What CS skills do QA automation engineer need?
Hi. I work as QA automation engineer, but no CS degree. I will look into algorithm and data structure book. I wonder what other CS skills QA automation engineer need to know (maybe operating system, computer architecture etc??). I am not pursuing software developer in the future and may get overwhelmed with that too much, but I will take time to learn. I like QA/SDET, but I want to be good at coding and really want to be expertise of QA/SDET. Thank you for your helps!

Evolving into medium skilled engineer - journey from first automation to decent factory
Hello i would like to share my factory progress story :) First time I tried Factorio long ago but didn’t like demo and dropped it with only creating like first smelting thing. Next try was around when a17 was out and demo hooked me in with its tutorial and I quickly bought full game and replayed tutorial (didn’t finished it in demo): Tutorial 1 Tutorial 2 1st freeplay After finishing tutorial time has come for first free play. I had a lot of fun even if I didn’t know what I was doing. I tried to avoid all Factorio knowledge on internet as much possible to discover everything myself. First factory I stopped this map after getting bots. Everything was too close and it was getting hard to make this spaghetti work. 2nd freeplay I checked some basic tips on net and learned that I have to think and build big, then multiply that by 4. I still don’t think I made that multiplication right but it helped me to get my first rocket to sky. Also trying artillery for first time felt so good! This was very fun run. Nothing special but gets job done First rocket! 3rd freeplay Then time has come for reading some guides on net and first attempt to bus. Bus attempt 1 Wasn’t too good, flaws are clearly visible. This run I focused on learning trains and circuits, also here I started to using bots in right and useful way. Before I didn’t really know how to use them >.> Still I cant really use circuits till now, only basic stuff but trains are easy now. Also artillery was a lot of fun with setting outposts to clear bitters. Artillery outpost Map look After getting map to this state I felt overwhelming feeling of accomplishment. All stuff run smooth, decentralized train system (vanilla) worked so good, I could slap new mining outpost somewhere and trains would automatically run there if closer mining outpost was full of waiting trains. THIS WAS AWESOME FEELING! It was most fun out of all freeplays. 4th freeplay After that there was time for first mods. I tried Industrial Revolution but got bored very quickly. Its idea seemed good on paper but once I started playing I didn’t liked it approach but art was awesome. I don't have pic of point where I stopped playing so here is random beginning I have: Industrial Revolution 5th free play Krastorio 2. It lasted a while, I liked some QoL things it add to game. Also its complexity felt good then it became more and more... complex. I was doing rather ok but got suddenly got bored. I suspect it was because all stuff started to seems more and more distant to achieve. Krastorio2 6th free play Then I left game for some time. Before 1.0 I decided to try to get There Is No Spoon achievement. Read some tips, rolled map till I got good one and went in. I didn’t had much blueprints beside basic smelting and mining. But it went rather easy, launched rocket around 6h mark. Recipe for victory is quite easy. I was constructing/crafting things constantly and whenever I had any doubt what to do I saved game, thought about next step then loaded save and did it immediately. Getting this done felt great too. There Is No Spoon It going up! 7th free play 1.0 was out so it was time for next factory. I used some QoL mods like factory planner and miniloader but it was mostly vanilla. Freeplay 7 factory Freeplay 7 map It's a good factory, still a lot of room to expand but its at point I should move oil production and probably red circuits too. There is one problem that kinda makes me wanna drop it. Little copper on map. Probably most ore patches ended in water. I used cheat code to uncover big amount of map and there is only 3 x~80M mining spots in any decent range. Most others are small ~20M and quite rare too. And even if for very far patches there is like just 1 more around 100M that’s very far. Probably there could be some more but uncovering map script runed so slow later that I gave up on discovering more and it already was far. Available spots are not very big if i wanna grow factory to noticeably bigger scale. Map settings was lowest frequency for all resources to have to use trains a lot but copper spots were unlucky I guess. There is also a lot of optimization I would like to do, smelting outposts could be better organized and more compact, also circuits setup is not optimal and trains don’t distribute themselves that well. Playing this map felt ok, no big wow. I’m happy with factory I made. This game was at 3x science cost and felt good. I started it at 4x but bitters overwhelmed me at beginning. I used max size groups of bitter and settings a bit more higher than default for them overall but with slower evolution. ------ In all maps after 1st I played with a bit stronger than default bitters and I cant imagine playing without them. They add so nice pressure to overall gameplay and are great artillery target! Now there might be 8th freepay but probably I would start more train oriented base from beginning. Also im a bit interested in city blocks but I feel with a bit upgraded train network I could do as well with my custom buildings. I kinda wanna a bit more bitter variety and a bit more weapons variety but I'm hesitating about any mods for that I found as they seems to do more than add “a little”. So this is my Factorio story. A little over 250h on steam. Great game. I’m afraid I wont get another accomplishment feeling like on 3rd freeplay again unless I do something I didn’t tried yet. Hope you enjoyed reading this (I'm not native English writer) and I hope you had yours “this is awesome!” feelings when playing Factorio too! :D
Just lost my position as an entry level engineer (infustry/factory/controls automation). Trying to be positive and useful at the same time. Any remote work I could be doing or recommend anything for skills/certs/self improvement?
I've been laid off and seeking another position but I also have a lot of time and I want to take advantage of this time to learn something complex and really push myself. Any recommendations?
What transferable skills should I focus on for Automation/Manufacturing Engineering?
Quit my job as a Manufacturing Equipment Engineer last year and started a new job I have mixed feelings about; definitely want to go back to manufacturing at some point. I want to make sure I stay competitive and have good skills to get into Automation/Manufacturing if/when an opportunity arises. I've started taking Python classes with the intent to work on personal projects to improve my skills. What other areas of study would you recommend learning to add value? Assume that I'm completely green and you're talking to a newb, I want to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks!
As an Automation engineer, how can I donate my skills?
I work in industrial automation, primarily in the pharmaceutical industry. How can I donate my skills to those needy? At a company event, the owner said something along the lines of "I don't want to be an asshole my whole life and give back to society, but I want to use my skills, not work in a soup kitchen." Any ideas on how to use automation skills to help the less advantaged? We do everything from instrument specification, cabinet design, PLC programming, installation, verification testing, site support, and documentation. We also run and verify electrical lines and communication lines. All I could think of was to set up a simple PLC demo board with switches and lights to show at schools.

I really enjoy automating processes with python, is there a job opportunity for that?
I’ve struggled for a long time with what I actually enjoy doing. I started learning python a couple months ago and started writing scripts to automate some processes at my job and I really enjoy It! I want to continue doing this to help companies scale as they grow. Is there a job title that handles this? Or are there other skills/languages I should learn to be able to continue to do this? I’m new to this industry so that may be a dumb question but I have no one to really ask except this community.
Have you moved from RPA to another field? If so what to?
Looking to get out of RPA after working in it for about 2yrs now, can't really see myself doing it for much longer and would like to look into something else. I've got some Python and general coding knowledge but not quite sure what I want to do, been doing some data science courses on the side but really need to work on these more
Some things I learned between bleep bloops and finally getting label releases
Just some stuff sort of said to myself that might be helpful... 🤷♂️ •most tracks are built on inspired simplicity wrapped into a whole that sounds good. Not incredibly complex individual game changing track elements. Just pieces presented in a way that makes little things amazing. (Ok some pieces can be very complex, but generally the way it comes together is with finesse not strong arming everything) •mixing is sort of same way unless it’s really complex sound design, even then... •stacking similar layers are not how everyone is getting their sounds. It can be really counterproductive to clean mixes. Multiband saturation and wavetables, I think, are much better tools than stacks of synths. •accents and fills (impacts, fx, flourishes, end of bar fills, drop outs, automations...) are frankly way more important than the amazing melody or bass-line you’ve written. All the extra stuff is just leagues ahead of the core parts that you as a producer get emotionally attached to. •make an amazing part, and steal it away from the listener. Sometimes you’ll work tour ass off to make an amazing part and have the urge to use it all over because it’s so amazing. Sometimes it’s better to let it happen once. •if you spend money on any plugin, buy a mastering limiter and buy a really good reverb. Just buy a really good reverb. Great use of reverb is so important. Especially the short, unnoticeable kind. •learning to master helps you understand mistakes in the mix. •YouTube is a slow way to learn. You can absorb information 10x faster by reading. Important people have written lots of books about mixing and producing. YouTube also wastes your time. If anything, buy presets and study the presets if your learning synthesis. If your studying mixing, get “The Mixing Engineer’s Handbook”. You can find older editions for free on the internet sometimes. •study music like you’re learning a science. Repeat popular experiments (remake songs), do your homework (read), and test yourself (do whole songs under a concept your learning) •when you make a track don’t lay out an 8 bar drum loop. Lay out an entire track, even if it’s empty midi. Copy a track you like in the daw and set like a kick, hat, and clap at the intervals of that song structure, even if it won’t be what you have in the end. •building a buildup to the drop first can be a good way to spark inspiration •distortion in post (as in not in some serum patch or pure sound design), sounds good. But you can’t be doing it on every track just because it sounds good and maximizes everything. In the end it gets you a flat, washed out sound. The mastering process will bring a lot out of everything, so no need to overcook all the tracks before that. •lite master your tracks periodically when you work on them. It’s amazing what you get out of that process along with realizing, in a lot of cases so much saturation and clipping isn’t necessary when the final limiting gets everything maximized. •mastering is a magical process that does make everything better. and you can learn to do it. And you can learn to mix well enough that your track is already essentially mastered. •waves plug-ins aren’t that good. •making your own sound doesn’t mean designing a sound nobody has ever heard before. Like successful dating, it just comes from being yourself. •-7 short term LUFS to -5.5 short term LUFS is still the standard EDM loudness. Loudness on streaming services is created by HIGH short term LUFS, while having a LOW integrated LUFS. Creating a good sounding loud mix/master is created by having that, plus as large of a LRA number as possible. Doing all of that takes a lot of listening, careful eq’ing, compression, and sound choice. •Streaming services turn down your song mostly based on your integrated LUFS. If you can have a -6 short term score but a -9 integrated, your song WILL BE louder than a -5 short term score with a -7 integrated score on normalized services. •Make things clearer. Dip 100hz and into the mids. Then compress. If things still don’t sound clean, you probably need to go back and redesign the sound or try a new one. •the network of producer friends you build is the most important thing you can build. Nuture that. Feedback peoples songs. Don’t ask for shit in return, just be a good person and friend. But also work the network. Spend some time everyday to like/share/comment/etc. your producer friends posts. •like 70-80% of people make better music when they don’t smoke weed. Maybe a conservative figure. Regardless, you keep what you learn when you sleep. Anything that fucks up the way you sleep, keeps you from growing in terms of developing any skill. The less you party the faster you get better, not because of the time you spent partying, but because all that your trying to learn gets downloaded and used in a much better way. •Social media is eating away time that’s not exchangeable. You don’t have any time that’s a wash. It’s finite and social media just takes it. You maybe get back a mild sense of community and it’s addicting because of the harsh cold feeling of pulling away from a screen that makes you feel like you’re surrounded by people or unplugged from the world... all while you arguably get further away from goals you might want. •literally ignore every goddamn thing I said because it’s the fucking internet. Who the fuck am I? Stop procrastinating on Reddit. Last I checked you can’t sequence a beat in the comments section.
Starting a Junior DevOps Engineer position in a week. My experience is 2 internships in full stack engineering. Will it be hard to return to the world of development after a year in DevOps? Worried I will miss coding too much.
background: I'm compelled to take this position because income is a priority at the moment and this was the highest offer I received among all my junior dev/DevOps positions. However, the team is made up of friendly people who I get along with very well and are very interested in training me and I love the company culture and perks so its not by any means a loss. I also am genuinely interested in developing DevOps skills. I am told that there is ample opportunity to perform tasks programmatically. my issue: I can't help but worry I'm putting myself in a box very early on in my career. I love programming and developing features. If I wanted to return to development, would it be very hard to convince employers I have wake it takes to do development after a year in DevOps?
Where is the best place in Canada right now to move for experience?
Journeyman construction electrician and instrumentation apprentice looking for maintenance/PLC work. I've applied for many positions all over the country but never hear back. I've had my resume for viewed by three different resume reviewers but so far every company has ghosted me. Is there a reason for that? I need to be sure I have a job before moving anywhere so what's the best way to go about that? I find that just randomly applying for positions on Indeed and LinkedIn doesn't get me anywhere.
Hi all, I’m fairly new to network engineering. I got my CCNP routing and switching in January, just before certpocalypse. I landed my first IT/networking job as a support engineer for an ISP. When I apply for network engineer positions, I find that experience in network automation is almost always a requirement. Seeing as I almost have no experience in networking itself, let alone automation, I have decided to get certified in Devnet. The challenge so far, has been finding good content at a relatively low cost. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Disclaimer: I've only been doing this stuff for 3 years. However, there are a few things that make me a bit antsy that DevOps is a bit of a bubble and is either the bubble is going to pop, or in 5-10 years time demand will fall off and there will be a huge excess of engineers with no one wanting to hire them.
There is comparatively little barrier to entry vs. other technical positions and the pay is almost the same. I cut my teeth by learning AWS and a few automation tools, which you could do in a few months. I then earned the same as the junior developers who had degrees in compsci. Now I earn slightly less than a midweight dev, but you could learn everything I know in slightly over a year, whereas it's much harder to become a developer. Low barrier to entry == oversupply of candidates, or even something devs could do themselves.
A lot of devops work is transformational, not static. In devops you get to create lots of automation, which is great. However, there is a limit to the automation you can create, and once it's done, it doesn't require nearly as much work to maintain. Lots of companies are behind the curve and are pouring money in to catch up - what happens when they catch up? There is no limit to how mature you can be, but there is a limit to how much automation is actually useful for your organization.
The tooling is getting easier to work with and more powerful all the time. This is a bit subjective, but here goes. When I started doing this, the tooling was a bit of a wild west. Kubernetes was something that was quite hardcore, and everyone online pretty much agreed was so complicated that it only really made sense if you were hyper-scale - now it's something of a statement if a product isn't running on kubernetes, and the integrations that other products have develops with kubernetes is amazing. Easy-peasy blue-green deployment integration with my pipeline, plug-and-play log and metric extraction, pre-baked log alerts. It's just so easy - I used to look at how FAANGS did deployment and marvel at the work that must have gone in, the commitment to developer experience these orgs had to write their own CI/CD tooling. Now with a bit of googling you can slap together something similar out of premade tools, normally with baked-in aws or kubernetes integration.
TLDR - I'm concerned that devops engineers and similar are overpaid for our skills relative to other professionals, that we're in something of a bubble, and that improved tooling will cut a lot of the work out, leaving some of us high and dry in the future. I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially if you think I've got it all backwards and we're on the gravy train for life!
