who will even notice if you don't show up to the office? They don’t have to “notice” it. They don’t even have to see it. Do you have an access badge to get into your company campus/building/suite? My last job started trac

If I had to justify myself every time I took the basic initiative of fixing errant, problematic or poorly performing code just because it wasn’t ordained and blessed for me specifically I am out the door SO fucking fast… Happy to have discu

I’m left wonder at what point does the “give a man a fish/teach a man how to fish” method of pedagogy apply in terms of ‘acting like a human’ in this context? Asking as someone who otherwise generally agrees that there are some truly p

These are fascinating responses to me, as with the example given my mind first went to someone for whom English is a second language. that group having trouble with this message I would understand, or at least have an easier time understand

I’m not seeing how what the message already is any less direct or clear than what you’re saying it should be? It straight up tells you it can’t find the var and what to do about it. Can you help me understand what isn’t clear about the mess

I made the conscious effort before leaving Facebook to trade phone numbers, addresses and birthday dates from the people I wanted to really wanted stay in touch with, and put them in my phone. This was all within the last three years. I’ve

How about people own up to their mistakes instead of relying on random Joe who happens to be on call to fix it? I have been burned too many times by write only code written by some coworker who wants nothing to do with it. This is not just

Slack? The chat app that everyone has very strongly held opinions on? that slack? It started as an MMO? I never knew this and have got to go read about it now, that IS an interesting pivot.

Welcome to Job boards. It’s not really a secret that this is how many, many, many of them work.

Is there some magical keyword or ‘tell’ that you’ve zeroed in on and want to share with the rest of us when looking at a job ad to tell if it’s a “code assembly line” or not before applying? From the rest of your comments you seem pretty co

Not gonna lie, I vastly prefer that. Not to say I bombard people with entire encyclopedias when messaging, but…I dunno. I guess, maybe this is the result of being one of those “elder millennials” I send text messages with the kind of intent

Complexity is inherently problematic I wouldn't necessarily agree, but curious to hear this thought developed some more, if you'd be willing to indulge me? Maybe I'm missing some implied context here that you have experienc

Sometimes it's about having a common deployment platform at different locations, on premise. That’s fair, that’s valid, that doesn’t however strike me as a compelling case to go off and hoist all of your stuff into k8s if there’s oth

by dvtrn 4y ago
I want someone to check me on a strongly held belief, I promise I have an open mind: There’s nothing wrong with experimenting with k8s in your org. Nothing wrong with k8s, it’s complex yes but that’s not inherently problematic. But it’s bee

I don’t know anymore, and honestly I don’t care anymore. If the job wants to call me an SRE fine, if they want to call me Devops, sure. I’m more focused nowadays on “what problems are you hiring me to solve?” since it feels more and more li
