PeeOnYou [he/him]

ive been in IT in some fashion for most of my adult life and I’ve often wanted to just abandon the whole field entirely but i have no other skills and as soul sucking as it is it still pays pretty decently compared to anything else i could possibly be considered for

everyone at my company uses chatgpt first

holy shit that was nuts

this isn’t dumb at all

all the tech companies ive worked at have used monorepos so i dont know any other way

QBASIC was what programming I was in high school. That pretty much ensured programming II was an empty class

ive never heard of anyone even getting a warning about hosting anything on a residential connection… many isps have verbiage about not doing it, but i don’t think any of them actually care because generally your upstream on a residential connection are so low it doesn’t matter if you saturate it often

i believe this is pretty accurate, not to say the US hasn’t been sponsoring dangerous cyber attacks though

that’s not going to work anymore, you need iot on the edge now

i don’t, l’ve met far too many

I’m interested in moving to DevOPS from it engineering/support roles but somehow I can’t seem to get anyone to take me seriously. How did you get into DevOPS?

I’m under 50 and I know Vi because it was always available on every Linux/BSD system i used from the day i discovered Linux up to now

i drive by that building all the time… i thought it was just a front cuz there’s never any cars in the parking lot

um… what kind of person uses an acronym over and over through a long ass article without ever stating what the fuck that acronym stands for?

i like to douse myself in mud, then slowly creep up on it from behind, taking extra care not to break any twigs or ruffle any leaves, then I grab it and hold on for the ride of my life

less about programming, more about programmers: just because you can code an app doesn’t mean you know jack shit about anything else… politics included

so many software engineers think they’re the only one who understands the world and that they are the one to have the final say in any discussion

i think that stems from their outrageous overpayment

edgy

it’s their marketing brains… believing hype and parroting buzzwords are mental shortcuts to never having to think for yourself and they prefer it that way

Yeah I have a hard enough time remembering the default vim bindings, I can’t be assed to go around making my own up and trying to remember those too

i just apply through sites like LinkedIn, or by going directly to the careers page of whatever company I’m looking at… most of the time I’ll get a rejection or just not hear back, but applying to enough places eventually gets some bites… I’ll be starting a new job in a couple of weeks after having applied to a few places back in October and going through the interview process at a couple places since.
