2017-03-09 The reason why the engineers don't say that, is that the work might come to annoy them. [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

I think that the situation is likely that someone says to me" I will give you a planet(not a nation), and you can reign over the planet", however, many freshpersons seem not to be interested in the governance.

Such administration work of server seems to be a "painful and pressed task" and to be avoided.

-----

I think that the reason this paradigm occurred is that I can go back to the time when server operation became possible by a personal computer(PC).

PCs at the time, was going to "down" or "out of control" absolutely, if I kept a power on PC over night.

And we can go back to the time when free "UNIX OS"(thought I know some kinds of people dislike the words) of FreeBSD and Windows NT, etc, appeared,

And the appearance of Linux ,GPL、high-speed and low-cost CPU, have accelerated the commodity of PC server.

For me, now I can use a web sever machine on which I also can execute my original code, at the cost of 500 yen a month,

Thus, the position of administrator of server machine was going down dynamically, to plain and unremarkable labors

-----

So, I sometimes think that many engineers who think

"Why do they pay two thousand hundred for the software? "sed", "awk" and several hours are enough for it"

but they never say so.

The reason why the engineers don't say that, is that the work might come to annoy them.

I told a story that Shiitake mushroom which can be eaten easily at a low price at present, however it was a valuable item of the shogun's offering in the Edo period,

Because the mass production method of shiitake mushrooms was not established at the period.

In times when computer resources were not abundant, the administrator of the server machine that could control computer resources was the lion of the day.

However, at the present time that computer resources are almost free, the status of the administrator of the server machine may be lower than that of the manager of the apartment.
