Hi List,
Bit defeatist and off-topic, I admit, but I'd like to hear what's the
opinion on future of our profession and which way to go.
My experiences:
1995 - Oracle DBA collegaue says: it will all be automated - no DBA's
needed ( no real threat, now we know)
1999 y2k, no work, Yourdon predicts y2k/programmer Armageddon; I work
both as Oracle DBA and programmer, just to survive
2001/2 we know what happened; IT doesn't matter ( Carr ); that ended too
2007 I experienced firsthand offshoring to India ( works quite well )
What I read in trade press is that DBA's and geeks in general can't be
just technical any more, we must get into business side.
What does list think ? If we all must be more business savvy,
what's the best way to get into it from where we are now ? Data modeling ?
Suggestions, ideas, thoughts please.
