Tech Person™️ titles explained for writers

Nobody would write a plumber who fixes people’s washing machine, or an architect who checks for termites. Just because a plumber works on pipes doesn’t mean they know about every machine that uses water, and just because an architect builds buildings doesn’t mean they know the intricacies of maintaining them. That’s not their job.

Yet often times, I see TV shows and books that portray anyone who works on computers as someone who knows everything there is to know about anything that has a circuit board. Sadly, as much as most of us wish that was the case (we tend to be naturally curious), techies are often highly specialized.

To remedy this, I’m going to make a brief, broad, and slightly over-generalized list of common tech positions you might encounter. This is not conclusive, it’s just to help loosely guide you to the type of tech person who can best fit your niche. This also should come in handy if you need tech help in real life too - rather than getting bounced around between “tech people”, you can ask for the specific person/role that handles your problem. To illustrate, I’m going to use the concept of saving a document and how each role would be involved.

IT Technician / Helpdesk

The front lines of tech. Often just starting to learn the ropes, these folks often don’t know much yet beyond a preset list of requests. Even if they’re more experienced and actually DO know the answer, they probably aren’t allowed to fix any unusual problems themselves, either due to regulations or their own access to systems being limited.

If you can’t even get to the save button, because you forgot your login password and need it reset, you should talk to an IT technician.

Network Engineer

These folks handle more than the title suggests. It has less to do with connecting you to the internet (IT technicians can probably help if you can’t get online) and more to do with securing the network you’re on. They regulate access control, making sure you can get to what you need, and others can’t snoop on your private stuff. These are the people TV shows put in rooms full of rack-mounted equipment with a monstrous amount of cables.

If you need to save a file to a folder you don’t have access to(in a business/corporate setting), you should probably submit a ticket to a network engineer.

Front-End Developer

Front-end devs are the ones who write the pretty user interfaces for the programs you use. They’re the ones who put the buttons where they need to go, make them colorful and pretty, and then wire them up to the code bits that do the things you want. They often also work with a graphic designer (possibly called a front-end designer) who does the actual artistic things that then get wired up.

If you can’t click the save button because it disappeared, or because it’s half-way hanging off the screen, or you can’t tell what button is the save button because the buttons lost their icons, that’s a front-end developer thing.

Back-end Developer

These guys write all the weird, esoteric code spells that make stuff Just Work ™️. When you see people in movies with screens full of green text and they’re typing furiously, then they walk out 2 days later with a Monster in one hand and declare that they just created sentient software, that’s a back-end dev.

If you clicked the save button and nothing happened, or the file you saved yesterday opened as garbage today, that’s a back-end dev’s problem.

(Do be aware, you probably won’t interact with developers directly very often - usually the help desk people direct your issue to whomever they think can solve the problem. But, if you wonder why your back-end dev gets annoyed when people call him asking to change the color of a button…this is why)

BONUS 1: Hacker (derogatory)

This is what Hollywood loves to portray all techies as - guys wearing fedoras sitting in dark rooms with 14 monitors being asked to hack the CIA, typing furiously and then ominously declaring “I’m in” after about 5 minutes of screen time.

These people exist, sort of, but the term “hacker” is a stupid name for them. That term within tech circles, is usually reserved for something else. A better term would be “cybersecurity specialist” if they’re a good guy, or “cyber criminal” if they’re a bad guy.

Also, it doesn’t take 5 minutes. It NEVER takes 5 minutes. 5 days, maybe. 5 weeks more likely. The only thing a “hacker” is gonna do in 5 minutes is fetch data from a system they were already sitting in.

These guys, when they occasionally actually exist, are the ones who will steal your data as soon as you click the save button and then sell it online, causing you to get endless spam calls and ruining your credit score.

BONUS 2: Hacker (complimentary)

Real “hackers” are what in a fantasy setting might be known as an tinker, or maybe an artificer - someone who likes to fiddle with things, break them and put them together into something new, someone who loves the craft in all its forms. These folks are often interdisciplinary and defy the specializations I just listed above - they probably know a little bit about everything. Not necessarily enough to fix your problem, but enough to get curious about why the save button gets so many complaints, disappear for a month, and come back with an overblown solution that fixes the problem you listed, the three problems they found other people talking about online, and the dozen or so issues they found on their own as they were working.

Hope this helps!

First Post, and hard lessons.

It's been a long time since I've blogged, I used to have an account with blogger.com (remember that?) back in the early 2000's So trying this out again is interesting, seeing what's different, what's similar.

I wanted to start this blog to record some personal thoughts that I've had over the last few years, so there will be some serious posts, including this one, but I do want to lighten things up inbetween.

I feel like I've written and re-written this a dozen times in my head, but it's time to commit and write something down. for those of you who know me, I want to tell a story and maybe you've heard some bits of it already, for any others who happen along? it's a story of anxiety, depression, burnout, a new path maybe? mostly i write this for my own benefit, to remind myself of where I've been & where I'd like to go, and where i don't want to go back to.

But first, some context. I've been working (full time) in IT for….16 years? I think? (give or take), and I'll be honest - I've had enough, and i want out of IT. I remember a time when computers were "simple" beasts (relatively speaking), the earliest memories of using a computer was my mum's 386 (it was a while ago ok!), she was studying a degree, but we had a number of DOS games installed on it (lots of apogee shareware), over time that computer got upgraded, new CPU, more ram, bigger hard drive, Windows 95! that was new & exciting! I remember somewhere along the way mum teaching me enough dos commands that when we bought a new game I could install it without needing help, she just gave me the discs and sent me on my way.

It was in year 10 in high school that i started scrounging enough parts to start making my own computer (or computers as it would become), my first pc being a 386 and the first thing I did was run games on it & dad had a laugh, it was slow, but it was mine! I worked out how to do all the upgrades myself, and over time ended up moving through windows 3.x, 95, 98. by the time i got to windows 2000 i had a 2nd hand IBM desktop, and I was looking after our home network, i think we'd moved from dial-up to ADSL around that time too.

After high school i got into the local TAFE (college for trade certificates), and got a Cert III in IT

I remember not liking XP when it came out (oh god, what is that default theme?! those colours?!), but I built an amd athlon64 system to run it on, all new parts & it was the fastest thing ever! (well, ok, maybe not ever…but it was mine! and it way faster than anything i had previously) i spent days playing warcraft III on that machine, learning how to compile software, playing with virtual machines, and it around this time i landed a job doing helpdesk at the local university.

Helpdesk work was interesting, but it's pretty soul crushing at times, you learn there are people out there who have no idea how to do the equivalent of "fill the tank with gas & check tire pressure", the uni had debated about having a basic computer literacy course for both staff & students, but it never got off the ground. But i pushed through, worked hard, and got recognized as being a good person to talk to in person or on the phone, often out-performing many peers on the helpdesk. We had people on the helpdesk escalating tickets to me, because i was good at working out the "curly" ones.

at some point I got offered a temporary transfer into server admin for 6 months, they'd seen me do good troubleshooting before sending stuff over to them, and they wanted to give me a chance. That ended up turning into fulltime work, that lasted 10 years. I learned a lot in that time, deploying and managing servers, "hearding cats" to get people to agree when an old application can be turned off or upgraded, working on projects. i'm not going to fill this up with IT acronyms but i did get sent on a lot of microsoft & other vendor training and for a number of mission-critical things became first point of contact. I got to experience oncall (and get paid extra for it), and almost single-handedly dragged the windows server fleet up to modern standards.

But in 2022 i couldn't do it anymore. I'd watched over the past years since microsoft fired it's QA staff in 2014, patches got worse, microsoft's promises of improvement got more frequent, and my team (or me specifically) was often stuck between "deploy patch to fix vulnerability or don't deploy patch since it's broken and will break things we depend on", a position that no IT department should find themselves in, having to choose between security and uptime. I'd worked on projects that were so badly run that I'd experienced depression (and some of the places your mind can take you), and while i never acted on the the thoughts during such times, it was not a place that, mentally, i wanted to return to. I'd seen people in other teams at the uni stonewall projects…for what??? no repercussions, one of them even got a promotion. not to mention that in 2021 our IT director/executive staff decided to overrule state government and tell everyone they had to be back in the office (that went down about as well as you'd expect)

2022 was a bad year, we had multiple bad patches we couldn't install on some of our servers until revisions came out, I had a staff member in another team who refused (again…after 4 years…and raising it with my supervisor) to complete work they'd promised, we had a huuuuge amount of work coming down the pipe, and no extra staff, and at some point in july i just broke down over it all. I could not do it any more. I could not push through. my reserves were empty. I had no more to give. things had gotten too hard, things were too complex, I wasn't running a cute 486 playing an apogee game. I was looking after hundreds of servers and multiple cloud environments. these weren't the basic applications that we knew & hated when i arrived, these things were using complex databases and machine learning, and I was expected to understand it all enough to support it. Sure i was part of a team, but people go on leave, I get the on-call phone, I filled in for my manager on occasion, you have to know enough to be able to diagnose and fix things, and it's so. much. now. Things have moved so fast over the last 10 years, and the reward for being able to tread water, for being able to keep up? not more people to help out, but more work, more new technology to learn, in addition to the old technology. It was suffocating, it wasn't sustainable.

And i was dumb enough to think that changing employers would be sufficient. I moved state, found a new job, it paid more, only to find out that the work was worse. the internal documentation was incomplete and the team didn't want to answer questions. clients running systems that were 20 years old (and not supported)….and were planning an upgrade to a system that was 15 years old….and would still not be supported. And all that anxiety? It came back! with friends!

I found a 2nd job, working in IT / healthcare and it was terrifying. we have laws about how medical data is to be stored & handled and my manager told me "there's no laws about this", turns out he was also a sexist & a bigot too. That was a job that didn't see a need to have compliant IT and guess who's getting blamed when shit hits the fan??….well not me….not anymore. The only reason I was able to stay there as long as I did was that I was working part time for most of it.

I spoke to a number of people in IT over the last 2 years and the common theme is that they're all burned out, they've all been screwed by the pace of change or inability to enact required changes. And maybe that pace has been dictated by management not because anyone needed new things, but simply due to those things being new and shiny, or due to complacency. Maybe in other cases it was driven by consumer demand / consumption, maybe as a society we're destroying good IT staff for our own amusement so we can have the goods & services we want when we want them, on our schedule….I don't think I'm qualified to answer that.

But for all that IT has burned me, there are things about it I miss. I miss those times when computing was simpler, when it was easier to understand, when it was just a hobby. I miss being able to comprehend how things worked, rather than feeling like I was part of some cargo cult. I miss when IT was just a hobby and didn't have to understand laws for businesses around it and ensure compliance. I miss when IT was fun.

whoever said that making your hobby a job would make you happy and "you'd never work a day in your life" was lying. whoever said "just push through" never experienced anxiety / depression / burnout (or at least not in the way I did)

If i had piece of advice? If I can leave a message for myself to look back on? Know your limits, you're only human, don't try and push yourself beyond them & hit the wall. Know where that wall is & that it's ok to tap out if need to & you have the means. It's a lesson I had to learn over the last 2 years.

So what does the future hold? I want to go back to IT as a hobby, I can't see myself doing this as a career anymore. and in 2024 I'm going to study for a Library & Information Services Certificate, it'll be a change of pace / direction & should be a good career change.

If you made it this far, thankyou for reading, it's a serious first post i know. But it's been roiling around my head for a while. I should have some more light hearted things to post later

How a Sophisticated Rules Engine Transforms Workflow Automation

Workflow automation has become a cornerstone of modern business operations. While basic automation improves efficiency, it’s the rules engine behind the system that brings true transformation. A sophisticated rules engine empowers organizations to build flexible, intelligent workflows that adapt to dynamic business requirements, eliminating repetitive tasks, reducing human error, and accelerating decision-making.

What Is a Rules Engine?

A rules engine is a software component that applies pre-defined conditions (rules) to incoming data and determines actions based on those conditions. In workflow automation, it serves as the “brain” of the system—automatically routing tasks, triggering notifications, approving requests, or escalating issues based on set criteria.

Rather than relying on hard-coded logic or manual interventions, businesses can use a rules engine to create workflows that evolve with operational needs. For example, you might configure a rule that automatically sends purchase requests above $10,000 to the finance head for approval, or routes an HR onboarding checklist only if a certain department is selected.

Key Benefits of Using a Sophisticated Rules Engine

1. Greater Process Flexibility Rules engines allow workflows to adjust dynamically. You can define complex conditions using “if/then,” “and/or,” or nested logic structures. This means your workflow isn’t just a static sequence of tasks—it responds intelligently to context and data.

2. No-Code Customization Advanced platforms offer visual or no-code rules builders, enabling non-technical users to set up and manage rules easily. This democratizes process control and reduces reliance on IT teams for changes or updates.

3. Improved Decision-Making Speed By automating decisions based on real-time inputs, the rules engine cuts down on delays caused by manual reviews or unclear responsibilities. For example, vacation requests, expense approvals, or document verifications can be processed instantly if they meet certain conditions.

4. Enhanced Accuracy and Compliance When rules are clearly defined and consistently enforced, it becomes easier to comply with organizational policies or regulatory standards. Automated rules minimize errors and maintain audit trails, which are essential for industries with strict compliance requirements.

5. Scalable Business Processes As companies grow, so do the complexities of their operations. A rules engine provides the scalability needed to handle an increasing number of conditions, users, and exceptions—without overhauling the entire system.

Practical Use Cases Across Departments

Finance: Automatically approve budget requests under a specific threshold or escalate based on department.

HR: Trigger different onboarding workflows based on role type or location.

IT: Route helpdesk tickets based on issue type and priority level.

Sales & Marketing: Assign leads to sales reps based on territory or deal size.

By leveraging a sophisticated rules engine, these departments reduce manual handoffs, shorten process cycles, and maintain clarity at every stage.

Choosing the Right Workflow Automation Tool

When selecting a workflow automation platform, ensure that it offers:

A visual rules builder for ease of use

Support for nested logic and conditional routing

Integration with third-party tools and databases

Role-based access control

Real-time tracking and rule-based analytics

Cflow is an example of a powerful workflow automation solution that features an intuitive rules engine. It allows businesses to build logic-driven workflows with minimal effort while ensuring transparency, consistency, and compliance.

Final Thoughts

A sophisticated rules engine is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for businesses that want to automate intelligently. By defining how tasks flow, when they’re triggered, and who handles them, organizations gain control, speed, and reliability in their operations. If you're aiming to scale and streamline without sacrificing flexibility, investing in a robust workflow automation platform with a built-in rules engine is a strategic move.

1. Comprehensive Training Programs

Effective training is crucial for the successful adoption of new HR software. Tailor training sessions to address the specific needs of different user groups within the organization. For instance, HR professionals may require in-depth training on advanced features, while general staff might need basic navigation guidance. Offering a mix of training methods—such as in-person workshops, online webinars, and self-paced tutorials—can accommodate diverse learning preferences and schedules. This approach ensures that all employees feel confident and competent in using the new system.

During the selection process, prioritize solutions known for their simplicity and ease of use. Additionally, provide comprehensive support resources, including user manuals, FAQs, and a responsive helpdesk or ticketing system. Regular check-ins or support meetings can help identify and address any usability issues promptly, ensuring that employees do not feel frustrated or abandoned during the transition.

3. Clear Communication and Change Management

Transparent communication is vital when introducing new HR software. Develop a communication plan that outlines the implementation timeline, key milestones, and the benefits of the new system. Utilize various communication channels—such as emails, town hall meetings, and company newsletters—to reach all employees effectively. Engaging leadership to endorse and support the change can also foster a positive attitude toward the new software. Encouraging employees to voice their concerns and questions can help in addressing potential resistance and building trust.

4. Incentivize Adoption

Motivating employees to embrace the new HR software can be achieved through thoughtful incentives. Positive reinforcement strategies, such as recognizing early adopters or offering rewards like additional time off or monetary bonuses, can drive engagement. Implementing gamification elements—such as leaderboards or achievement badges—can also create a sense of competition and accomplishment, further encouraging employees to utilize the new system effectively.

5. Continuous Feedback and Improvement

The rollout process doesn't end with implementation; continuous monitoring and improvement are essential for sustained success. Establish mechanisms for ongoing feedback, such as regular surveys, suggestion boxes, or focus group discussions. Analyzing usage data can help identify trends and areas needing attention. Collaborate with the software provider to implement necessary updates or enhancements based on user feedback. Keeping training materials up-to-date and relevant ensures that employees remain engaged and informed about new features or changes.
