Anyway, that’s enough about yourself…

Feels like you never truly where on Reddit if you felt it was a beacon of warmth and friendliness. Did you ever share an opinion contrary to the prevailing opinion on there?

Unit tests, yes, but you don’t only do unit tests. Integration and e2e tests still exist.

Was there even tests?

Real mugs.

Henry Ford invented breaks to extract more out of the peasant Labour.

The fact we’re years later and cognitively demanding jobs don’t support this well show how amateur managers are and his spineless devs that enable them are.

“When I work I like to do my job and then relax.”

They like to do it the other way around. They do nothing, then something. You do something then nothing. Why do you feel that your way has to b the right way and everyone else is wrong?

Do your workload, and no more, and be fine with it, or move to another organisation with the same problem.

The goal is for you to be able to understand that people in this world are different to you and that is fine. As long as you aren’t doing their job for them, it’s all good. If you choose to do that, it is on you.

Really ain’t writing code in termux. I want an IDE. Why use a substandard device?

Programming? Nah. It’s a consumption device, not a creation device.

“If you would like me to be on call, we need to discuss remuneration.”

If you cannot ignore slack in the evening, weekends, you gotta be bad at your job. If you are good, employer won’t want to replace you and you can condition them to respect boundaries.

“I sent you a message, why didn’t you respond?”

“I didn’t see it.”

“What were you doing?”

“Cooking. Food shopping. You know, the essentials to survive”

Not that I’d elaborate. I much prefer the “I had plans/a prior engagement”.

If they ask, “I cannot really discuss this, it’s private”

You can ignore that also…

Length of time never means quality of decisions. Always best to validate. So easy to package up malware and farm folks bank accounts.

Yes, and you do it at the point you need to work on that feature. The business pay for it when they want the change.

You do not pay for the refactor with your time, if the company won’t pay to fix their code. Just make it clear the risks and how bad it could be if you carry on with duct tape fixes.

You have to be strong and firm and not agree to hacks. You need to work with your team to ensure you’re on the same page rather than getting undermined by cowboy dev claiming he can do the feature in 2 days when it needs 2 weeks to do the necessary work.

Well Devops isn’t a role. It’s an approach in which bridges development and operations and integrating it in the team. It isn’t sticking a cloud engineer (cloud biased sysadmin) in the team. It’s about collaboration and delegating and supporting.

Cloud engineer is unfortunately what many orgs think devops is.

I use OpenSuse for gaming. A great distro.Highly recommend. An up to date kernel, stable and just works.

Had bad experiences with Manjaro so personally wouldn’t recommend.
