I don't know about you, but I enjoy kicking the tyres of new products in my sphere. The only problem is that it's often quite difficult to find time to dedicate to the simple pleasure of learning something new, as real work, (and of course family) tend to, um, get in the way! On balance I can see that employers are quite justified in their time demands, and naturally the missus and son are top of the list :) so how to find that perfect balance and find time to follow up interesting developments?
Well, I have a few manoeuvres here:
1. Report report report. Managers like to know what's going on, so show them the money. Graphs, charts and pictures are particularly well received, and can buy you some play time. Speaking of reporting If you've've found some time to look into a new piece of tech, it's good to let the boss know your thoughts on it. Spread the word!
2. Stress the business benefits. Management types don't necessarily know anything about IOPS, or whether more FLOPS is a good or bad thing. What they will understand is that something might increase productivity, or even better save money.
3. Show those guys a good time... I'm talking about the family here of course ;)
