Not sure if this is a unique case, but it absolutely BLOWS to be the single person responsible for everything tech in a company besides hardware (hexbear.net)

It honestly seems like people have forgotten what all tech entails with the rise of generative AI.

Like holy shit man, people (at my company at least) now think you can write a program to control what is essentially your entire database system, security and business analytics with chatgpt.

Maybe I’m just not meant for this and this is the norm. But it’s taken me like 2 months to get a handle on three different types of API and program documentation. And I’ve also been doing like sys admin work too.

But three jobs in, and I’m starting to realize this is exactly what companies want. Because why pay multiple people for work in a department when they can just offload everything to one person and pay them nothing and know that the economy is so fucked that you’re basically trapped

Like I integrated one system to another for my senior project in undergrad and I had a little help on that from another business. But now I’m doing it all alone and being expected to work at super speed at the same time

Well that’s the first step, then he wants me to schedule all the systems to communicate with each other. Then we’ll get a database and I’ll be asked to develop and code all of the objects there

Idk like I can do it, but I would at least like to be allowed to develop a plan since there is no infrastructure in place whatsoever. It just seems like a functioning organization would have this planned out with a team

the purpose of a system is what it does. maybe it's not so much that the organization is dysfunctional, nor that it's functional in a way that would need this planned out with a team but didn't do that for some reason. maybe it's functioning correctly to leave this unplanned and without a team.

It just doesn’t seem like they care about this department at all. But they do care about getting the data to please shareholders and think that happens magically

Then they’re shocked why excel keeps crashing when they try to use it as a database lmao
