Technology

TL;DR OpenStack is a massive complicated ecosystem. It is only going to survive by the vendors that support it and probably not what you need. Backstory Let me begin by saying that given the proper talent pool, financial resources, and time; OpenStack probably isn’t bad for some people. For most institutions it is just wrong. I will probably write another article that outlines all the questions that I should have asked before starting this.

If I stacked pennies from the ground to the top of the Empire State Bldg, would they all fit into this room? Firstly dear sir, you do not have that many pennies. Secondly if you cash it in for large bills then they all fit in your pocket. It is a question like this that would make me decide alternatively in my career choice. However I see tech managers searching for really “smart” interview questions and white board problems in an attempt to stump the prospective employee.
