Bingo.

Just beware

As an American, who gives a fuck.

Your lemmy account is off to a great start.

GET HIM

Life might not be fixed, but it’s a start anyway

Fair enough! Sometimes variety is nice.

Are you at least paid well?

And I second at least he says please.

Also this is a little weird, I figured when people figured out what kind of egg they like they just stick with it (omelettes being the exception since that’s basically a meal)

Nah it was a pretty immature company at the time, just told not to do shit like that anymore.

Once we ipo’d and put on big boy pants, that would have been at least a reprimand.

It’s pretty great if you land the right job. Amazon or meta? Fuck all that. But via my network I found a nice startup (after being at two big fintech companies) that pays me crazy San Francisco bucks while I live in Ohio.

And yeah, I’m very privileged and I’m well aware of it. Especially for a college drop out who majored in English….

Since I’m so privileged I make sure I do what I can to help others though, lots of donations to orgs and I do some volunteering to hand out food to the needy on weekend. It’s to help with the cognitive dissonance and the feeling like “I don’t deserve this”

Same, my friend (vyvanse). I find having a Soylent at lunch helps.

I get paid well! And at the point I’d left the job we’d gotten everything stable so that the incidents dropped off and weren’t as impactful.

Tech is weird compared to other industries, in that actual mistakes that cause outages aren’t really punished… unless it’s something egregious or you didn’t follow rules like “don’t cowboy stuff in prod, use peer reviewed plans”. It’s generally “blameless” in the postmortems, you take what you learned from it and add to the procedures to make sure that exact issue doesn’t happen again.

In fintech and at scale, you aren’t far off!

I eventually got the damn thing removed at least.

Someone installed this across our 2500 machine entire fleet back in 2013. I wanted to fucking punch him in the dick, especially during incidents where every second matters.

Dang is grandpa rich or something?

Which shows up in /all, not because I’m subbed to any of this crap.

Christ who gives a shit about instance drama? Grow up.

Oh god so much worse. Just a nightmarish, horrid way to go. It seriously freaks me out imagining it.

This IS the nutty putty cave, the pic is just rotated 90 degrees.

The picture makes my skin crawl because I read about the guy.
