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

Where are you crossing? Around here the population on both sides of the border are pretty indistinguishable, except for accent.

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.

Why would we move on from his admitting to what we all know, his goal is the end of our Republic.

What the hell are you talking about, we should NOT move on, that’s been the problem all along.

Competition is great, a company that can’t produce a quality product and ships a CAR with beta level software that can’t update OTA is NOT competition.

The auto industry is highly unfavorable to startups, the competition you want will come from the old ICE OEMs.

Or in/on my ears!

Hair falling outta my head, but if I don’t trim my eyebrows I’ll end up looking like a sheep dog.

Because AI is the new because blockchain.

The GameCube being your favorite console has a lot more to do with your age, than anything to do with the console.

Same reason the NES is my all time favorite.

I’m not pretending.

I’m pointing out the flaw it the whining.

There’s a lot of should and shouldn’t statements that are just wish fulfillment and not reality.

Now that you’re done bitching about the housing crisis…what’s your actual proposed solution?

Should we take the home from the guy renting you that apartment so you can have it? Force lower rents, leaving him unmotivated to bother renting it?

What’s your point beyond rents are too high? We all know there’s a problem, how do you propose we fix it, because landlords aren’t the root of the issue but this whole thread seems to want to pretend they are.

Ok, then don’t.

Go find another place to live.

I’m well aware of both, been in the industry for over 20 years.

But you still don’t seem to comprehend the cost or difficulty of the change.

Frankly the support options don’t seem very good either.

Deployment is not even half the battle, ongoing support is where the troubles really come out.

The staffing, the network and storage changes.

The suggestion to just use KVM and ansible is rather tone def.

Sounds like someone with limited experience in the industry, honestly.

Whats to distinguish, they are the same drink.

If you want a pop just ask for a pop, silly goose.

Constructive dismissal
