I’ve done both, it’s just a rarity to have someone experienced enough in both to be able to cross the lines.

Those are your gems and they’ll stick around as long as you pay them decently.

Hard to find.

Because the problem is that you need

1. A developer
2. A systems guy
3. A social and great personality

The job is hard to hire for because those 3 in combo is rare. Many developers and systems guys have prickly personalities or specialise in their favourite part of it.

Devops spent have the option of prickly personalities because you have to deal with so many people outside your team that are prickly and that you have to sometimes give bad news to….

Eventually they’ll all be mad at you for SOMETHING…… and you have to let it slide. You have to take their anger and not take it personally…. That’s hard for most people, let alone tech workers that grew up idolising Linus torvalds, or Sheldon cooper and their “I’m so smart that I don’t need to be nice” attitudes.

As a devops manager that’s been both, it depends on the group. Ideally a devops group has a few former devs and a few former systems guys.

Honestly, the best devops teams have at least one guy that’s a liaison with IT who is primarily a systems guy but reports to both systems and devops. Why?

It gets you priority IT tickets and access while systems trusts him to do it right. He’s like the crux of every good devops team. He’s an IT hire paid for by the devops team budget as an offering in exchange for priority tickets.

But in general, you’re absolutely right.

I mean I buy most of those statements….

Today they’re only alive because they’re taking Google’s dirty money, what happens if that dries up?

And while it’s not ideal, it’s better than most alternatives, and they really need privacy protecting legislation.

I can understand that, but there’s still a lot of misinformation

Your browser is collecting it, and submitting limited info to a counter.

This is still much better.

This increments a counter anonymously as opposed to explicit tracking.

They are very different and this feels like a hit job of outrage blogs.

The article is a huge misrepresentation and the author is an idiot.

No, He’s just trying to excuse his own emotional reaction.

Nice edit, this wasn’t the original message lol.

You were unnecessarily rude and you know it.

Yeah, being called out and unnecessarily put to task is unpleasant, isn’t it?

The irony is spectacular.

Have a nice day.

I ignored OP’s statements, not yours.

You’ll find I replied to you and not them, but I appreciate your condescension in the midst of being wrong.

Ranting about problem you had and being dramatic about it? No problem, I get it. I’m here to be supportive of your struggles. I’ll absolutely defend someone that is being dramatic over their own mistakes, we’re all our own biggest critics. Beyond that, I’ll ignore it and let them get through their own emotions.

Feeling the need to judge someone over it? Yeah, YTA here and you’ll find that coworkers don’t like you for it. It’s unpleasant, and unnecessary.

Do you enjoy it when people point out your faults and say “maybe the tech world isn’t for you?”

…… but you’re not going to see it that way at all. You’ll create some meaningless “but it’s different” argument because you feel the need to defend your actions rather than reflect on them.

Have a nice day, I’m done.

Oh I’m not encouraging it, personally I just ignore the rants like that….

But at the same time, I can identify the emotion that drew the person to do it.

Because developers are all logical and don’t EVER show anger at the systems they’re working on…. Hahahaha…

I mean I personally wouldn’t post about it, but I’d probably rant over lunch at my stupidity…

You’ve never made a silly mistake where you “can’t see the forest for the trees”?

It happens to the best of us

Not really, no.

But this thing could be beat with a raspberry pi.

Amazing, I didn’t know they did this

The insulation on an oven is 10x that of an air fryer.

…. And sometimes air fryers don’t turn off.

An oven is usually designed to last a decade, an air fryer sometimes only lasts a year.

VERY different build quality standards.

I love the concept but……

Air fryers and kitchen heating appliances shouldn’t be left on their own much….

Maybe an oven, but certainly not the countertop version, just for fire safety reasons …

A banana pi is not going to have the processing power to properly route that much data.

You’re looking at an Intel nuc at minimum.

If your internet is 5gbps and the router only has 2.5 gbps ports, you’re going to be capped at 2.5gbps unless you start getting really over complicated because the router expects ONE incoming port. There ARE ways to support pairing two Ethernet ports together, but your ISP’s modem/router won’t support it because “fuck you for having your own hardware”

Also because they’re cheap.

If your switch is 1gbps, you’ll be limited to 1gbps.

On Reddit, wallstreetbets used to call everything “retarded” and they’ve stopped and moved to “regarded” as a way of “almost” saying an offensive word.
