IT Pro

 

IT Pro

During the years, being an IT Pro became much easier, because of the tools and resources.
I don’t have that much knowledge about what was going on 20 years ago, so I can only guess and compare that guess with nowadays, however, I didn’t meet with many IT Pro’s, so I can’t be sure about it either.

In my eyes, the IT Pro is someone who is prepared for everything or at least try their best. It will always have a plan B and will respond fast. It is why, an IT Pro must have great problem-solving skills, which means it knows where to look for help, how to read a document and how to implement these things to solve the problem. Really important, that an IT Pro must be helpful because it is how a company will get more IT Pros one day and that will split the work in the future. An IT Pro should be respectful for the field and with other’s work, while eager to study new things day by day motivated by its passion. To do all these things requires great time management. Something that can only be gained after years of practice.

However, I think companies look for something else. Especially in my country, where criteria’s in the IT field are ridiculous. In their eyes, problem-solving skills means, you must know what happened and must work on it immediately, even without having a plan. I don’t think they care about the person, only the knowledge. It is why, in my country as I heard IT Pro’s have a really hard time working together. Companies make impossible deadlines and expect people to complete them in time. Time management is basically just rushing against the clock week by week. Since we are lacking IT Pro’s, because of the low salaries, responsibilities and exceptions are way higher than they should be.

I don’t think it was always like that. 20 years ago, technology was not that advanced. There was less work, fewer platforms. Work was harder for sure, IT Pro’s had to understand every small detail. How hard is it to write a code in C than in Python? We can’t compare a Python developer to a C developer. It is why I think, nowadays IT guys have a wider range of knowledge, but probably less in the specific field than before. There were fewer professionals in the field, which means they were more valuable and gained more salary.

Which decade’s IT Pro I would be? Well, I am happy to be in a century where autonomous cars and AI are awaits, so I would always choose 2020.

History and importance of Voice Recognition

 At this week blog, I would like to write a bit about voice controllers. This technology may sound quite new, but even in the 20 th century, there were works regarding this topic. In 1952 Audrey created, that understood numbers spoken by specific people. Later IBM create a Shoebox machine, that understood 16 words, in English. In the 1980s the Hidden Markov Model [1] was altered the development of voice recognition on the software side. In the beginning, this kind of technology used template words, but with this technic, they could measure the probability of unknown sounds and words. Just like in everything, developments came in place, however even in the 2000s this technology quite expensive and wasn’t easy to implement. In 2008, hardware and software were developed enough to create a portable and easily usable speech recognition tool. 2008 was the year when Apple first implemented voice search into their Phone, which made Google innovate their own technology. It created space on

Hello everyone and welcome on my blog. My first blog post is going to be about 3 IT failures, that is a bit close to me. I hope you will enjoy my writing. You can find all the materials I used on the bottom. Let me start with a fresh 2020 failure; Cyberpunk 2077 It was reasoned that we except the highest quality after games like the Witcher series from CD Project Red. The hype around this game was massive since 2013, however when the game came out the players were not that satisfied, even if the game was the fastest selling game of all-time. Originally Cyberpunk was designed to Playstation 4, however it doesn’t have enough power to run a massive game like this. Because of this, creators decided to lower the quality at some places to help rendering the maps. Do you know what happened? Let me show you on a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqEMEjJj4hs Not only that, but the developers had to work overtime, still did not get any payment for those hours and everything is burn

Ergonomics example

Today in my blog I would like to bring you an example, which was a great ergonomics design in a sport called waterpolo and two another devices that were designed by Playstation then became disasters. Before 1956, waterpolo was played with leather ball, which was really slippery and ugly. It was almost impossible to grab it, so players had to hold it from the bottom. [1] After 1956 Olympic, there was a guy called James R. Smith, who redesigned and introduced the new official ball, which was made of a rubber fabric. It improved the performance and the speed of the game, also the ball was not stinky after using it for a while. [2] Maybe it does not sound that big of an invention, but I think many sports was much faster and enjoyable after forgetting leather balls. The wrong example is really funny. Actually, I brought two of them. I can’t believe what was the plan of these designers. Jogcon, [3] was invented to help people at 3d racing games, because there were no cursors on contr
