Does a system administrator need knowledge of programming in 1c/web?

Question

System administration

Good afternoon!
Very often I see in vacancies the employer's requirements for a system administrator - knowledge of 1c at the programming level - writing reports, processing, printing forms, as well as consulting 1c accounting, trade, etc. Also, but less often, there are vacancies with the requirement of knowledge of web programming and site administration - as a rule, knowledge of cms - 1c Bitrix, wordpress, and, accordingly, knowledge of layout, php, etc.
In your opinion, in today's realities, are these programming skills for a system administrator necessary as a professional, or is it just the desire of the employer to save as much as possible, and instead of two employees, the duties of a 1c programmer are dumped on the system administrator? It just turns out that this is a man-orchestra and tons of knowledge are needed for a salary of 30,000 rubles.
I also want to ask what skills a system administrator should have for today and for the future? windows, linux. networks, cisco, administration 1s, information security and if not difficult, continue the list. thank!

Answer 1

The chief accountant enters the IT department and goes straight to the lead admin:
- I have such and such a problem with 1c.
- We do not have a full-time specialist in 1c, but I will call him, it will be tomorrow.
- You know, at my last job, the administrator was doing this!
He with a short pause:
- And at my last job, the chief accountant washed the floors!
PS I think that the hint is clear. The only programming that an admin should be doing is automating his work, and not solving business problems.

Answer 2

I'll put in my 5 kopecks, although I completely agree with everything that has been said above. But, as they say, there are nuances ...
I am a system administrator, and in most of the companies where I worked, there was a 1C programmer. But it is clear that the level of their current education has decreased, because in the last three jobs, these "1C programmers" declared that we are only coders, we only write code. And how to install and configure SQL under 1C - they did not know and did not understand. They didn’t know about 1C clusters, and they also didn’t know about 1C optimization (I’m not talking about licensing and others like it) - they came only with requirements: Give us resources, everything slows down for us. For such cases, I myself, at my own expense, trained as a 1C Administrator. To understand how you can do so that would not give them excessive resources. (because the toad chokes :)) And you know, this knowledge paid off and justified itself (although I don’t advertise them when applying for a job) - you need to see their faces when I put them on the shelves, that SO many resources they do not need and their code needs to be optimized. When only SQL optimization and the correct configuration of the 1C server, it reduces their resource requirements by several times.
So my opinion is that you need to know the administration of 1C, if only so that "* ovno encoders" 1C do not ***.

Answer 3

As practice shows, in an ordinary office, a "man orchestra" knows how to smell everything, is always busy and receives a small salary, being a narrow specialist is more profitable in terms of money, but it is more difficult to find a job.
And the very concept of a system administrator is very vague and depends on the place of work and responsibilities.

Answer 4

In theory, it should not, in practice, smart-ass offices, especially not very large ones, want the admin to be both a Swiss and a reaper and a gamer on the pipe.
Here on this topic. If drivers were recruited as admins.
Position: Driver.
Requirements:
Professional skills in driving cars and trucks, trolleybuses, trams, metro and funicular trains, excavators and bulldozers, tracked special vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and modern light / medium tanks in service with the CIS and NATO countries.
Rally and extreme driving skills are required.
Experience driving Formula 1 race cars is a plus. Knowledge and experience in the repair of piston and rotary engines, automatic and manual transmissions, ignition systems, on-board computers, anti-lock systems, navigation systems and car audio systems from leading manufacturers.
Experience in bodywork and painting is a plus.
Applicants must have Mercedes, BMW, General Motors certificates, as well as certificates of participation in major international competitions no more than two years old.

Answer 5

Does a system administrator need knowledge of programming in 1c/web?

In general, system administration does not apply at all to either 1s or web.
So no, it's not required.

Very often I see in vacancies the employer's requirements for a system administrator - knowledge of 1c at the programming level ...

Well, what's wrong with that? They need a system administrator who can program in 1s. This is fine.
It happens that a forwarding driver is required, not just to steer, but also to transport goods.
It happens that you need a janitor - an electrician.
Or a programmer-loader.

is it just the desire of the employer to save as much as possible, and instead of two employees, the duties of a 1c programmer should be dumped on the system administrator?

Of course the desire to save.
Agree, it’s rather strange for a transportation company that employs 100 people to keep a programmer, system administrator, web designer, layout designer, tester, and sound engineer on staff. Therefore, it must be combined.

It just turns out that this is a man-orchestra and tons of knowledge are needed for a salary of 30,000 rubles.

Yes, it is normal.

I also want to ask what skills a system administrator should have for today and for the future?

Long list, and it makes no sense. A system administrator is a rather vague concept and the scope of duties and tasks can vary greatly.
Some system administrators are essentially network engineers and do not work with anything other than the network. And some also have to install software, and keep the database up to date, and it's scary to say - refuel printers, and resolve purely legal issues like software licensing.

Answer 6

Very often I see in vacancies the employer's requirements for a system administrator - knowledge of 1c at the programming level - writing reports, processing, printing forms, as well as advising 1c accounting, trade, etc. Also, but less often, there are vacancies with the requirement of knowledge of web programming and site administration - as a rule, knowledge of cms - 1c Bitrix, wordpress, and, accordingly, knowledge of layout, php, etc.

This is the so-called. super enikey.
This knowledge is not something that is directly required, but, of course, will be a plus.
Especially at the initial stage - in order to have a good idea of ​​the IT field from different angles.
The bonus is that you, in a single person, can solve all the problems of the company.
Well, in this case, the management of the company does not bother and entrusts everything to one person. As a result, getting the dependence of the company on this person, which means a pleasant increase in salary.
In large offices, this is not practiced, as a rule.
And in small ones, you will be able to be an important employee of the company as a man-orchestra, due to your hard-to-replace.
Moreover, in small offices, it cannot be otherwise. Not everyone can afford to bother with a separate admin, a separate 1C programmer, a separate web programmer.
Who said that you need high qualifications in all these areas?
Just the opposite.
