浏览技术文章时,读到一个评判技术能力的标准:“Google评分卡”。它对技术人员的能力从0到10划分了11个等级,看完这个评分卡,真切感受到每个技术人都应该进行一次自我评估:对照一下自己所处的位置,下一步又要迈向哪个等级。
Google评分卡的来自Google的SRE。为了保证稳定可靠的服务,Google组建了一支专业的团队来负责运行后端服务,参与的工程师有一个共同的名字:Site Reliability Engineer。
对此,资深Google SRE Chris Jones等人联合撰写了《Google SRE: How Google runs production systems》,首次向外界解密了谷歌的生产环境,中文名字叫《SRE:Google运维解密》。
正是在该书中提到了上面所说的“Google评分卡”。下面来看看这11个等级到底是如何划分的:
0:you are unfamiliar with the subject area.
0:不熟悉的领域。也就是说对相关的领域几乎一无所知。
1:you can read/understand the most fundamental aspects of the subject area.
1:可以读懂或理解相关领域的大多数基础知识。
2:ability to implement small changes,understand basic principles and able to figure out additional details with minimal help.
2:能够实现一些小的改动,理解基本原理,能够在简单的帮助下找出更多的细节。
3:basic proficiency in a subject area without relying on help.
3:基本精通相关技术领域,完全不需要别人的帮助。
4:you are comfortable with the subject area and all routine work on it.
4:对相关技术领域非常熟悉和舒适,可以应对和完成所有的日常工作。
For software areas - ability to develop medium programs using all basic language features w/o book, awareness of more esoteric features (with book).
对于软件领域,有能力开发中等规模的程序,能够熟练和掌握并使用所有的语言特性,而不需要翻书,并且能够找到所有的冷知识。
For systems areas - understanding of many fundamentals of networking and systems administration, ability to run a small network of systems including recovery, debugging and nontrivial troubleshooting that relies on the knowledge of internals.
对于系统领域,了解很多网络和系统管理的基础知识,能够运行一个小型的系统网络,包括恢复、调试和依赖于内部知识的重要故障排除。
5:an even lower degree of reliance on reference materials. Deeper skills in a field or specific technology in the subject area.
5:对参考资料的依赖程度更低。在某一领域或某一特定技术领域有较深的技能。
6:ability to develop large programs and systems from scratch. Understanding of low level details and internals. Ability to design/deploy most large, distributed systems from scratch.
6:能够从零开发大型程序和系统。掌握底层细节和内在原理。能够设计和部署大多数大型分布式系统。
7:you understand and make use of most lesser known language features, technologies, and associated internals. Ability to automate significant amounts of systems administration.
7:理解并利用高级语言特性、技术和相关的内在原理,可以从根本上实现大量系统管理和运维工作的自动化。
8:deep understanding of corner cases, esoteric features, protocols and systems including "theory of operation". Demonstrated ability to design, deploy and own very critical or large infrastructure, build accompanying automation.
8:对于一些边角和晦涩的技术、协议和系统工作原理有深入的理解和经验。能够设计、部署并负责非常关键、规模很大的基础设施,并能够构建相应的自动化设施。
9:could have written the book about the subject area but didn't; works with standards committees on defining new standards and methodologies.
9:能够在该技术领域出一本经典的书。并和标准委员会的人一起制定相关的技术标准和方法。
10:wrote the book on the subject area (there actually has to be a book). Recognized industry expert in the field, might have invented it.
10:在该领域写过一本书,被业内尊为专家,并是该技术的发明人。
大多数人其实一直处在3-4之间。比较努力的人会处于5-7之间,而真正能做到8-10之间的人应该是凤毛麟角。
看完上述等级划分你的是什么感受?自己又处于哪个等级?下一步该往哪个方向努力?其他行业的朋友,也可以据此对照一下自己行业的标准。
就个人而言,看完这个等级划分,顿感需要努力提升的不是一星半点,还需要加倍加倍加倍的努力。同时,也清楚了自己的位置和下一步该往哪里走。你呢?
