100000% yes.

Learned this one long ago.

Took years for my wife to understand it.

The cheapness is STRONGER then my ADHD.

Yeah, the “discussions” in the 90s where about normal behavior in the 70s and 80s.

Hell the 80s religious and political scene in America is what inspired A Handmaids Tail.

If 90s shows make you clutch your pearls god help you if you catch something from the 80s or 70s.

Didn’t he invent that new cereal varnish?

Ok, but, why is microwaved water any different the water warmed in a kettle?

This seems like a pointless thing to get worked up over.

Title, start date and time, job title is about all that’s on the “contract”.

Rolls and responsabilities, not anything else, are not defined.

To where?

Somewhere with a substantial pay reduction that does NOT want me there and likely requires I learn a new language in midlife.

I’m fine, it’s not a hellscape here, there are problems everywhere.

My dude, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s me in fact.

Even if I had a contract it wouldn’t matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

That’s the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.

That’s cute you believe that

Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

I’m talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example… Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it’s untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs… They don’t get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.

“IT people” here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.

It’s been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.

Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.

Depends on what flag the boat is flying and what port it left and returned too after.

Even 20 years ago Linux was easier to install then Windows.

Last time I recall Linux being tricky was like late 90s.

I would say isreal has a right to defend itself, but not if they keep stealing land and oppressing the people who attack them.

If you want to defend yourself, first, you have to stop attacking the people who you claim to be defending against.

Hamnas is human garbage, but one can not separate the creation of Israel from the ghettoizing of the Palestinian people.

Nobody deserves terrorist attacks, but this didn’t come out of the blue.

Isreal needs to own up to it’s complicity in the violence before they try to claim to be the sole victims of it.
