No no no, I am not getting promoted anyway... no promotions here. No one ever gets promoted, you don't get bonuses, you don't get overhours pay, you don't get raise... so why bother π€·.
See, building and configuring a staging environment also takes time and money... money which they are not willing to spend on something "for testing" and not in actual use. Plus, I'm not gonna get paid for doing that either, so why actually do it... to be honest, I would do it, even for free, but you gotta caugh up the money for the hardware man. I've been told "just use what you have in the scrap pile"... for what, a server � Are you serious? They barely spend any money on that even, why should I bother creating something as e staging environment.
No, it doesn't... because as I said, you have your needs (food, shelter, good car, nice place to live) met... you wouldn't be talking like this if your place was a dump or you ate the cheapes shit on the market (cuz that's what you can afford).
Exactly... because it's tidious and time consuming... and I won't get extra pay for it. Meanwhile I'm also expected to do everything else I do... sorry, just not gonna bother at all.
One, you have no idea how much or little I'm getting paid. Two, you have no idea where I live and the struggles I have to face every day. Three, even if I do work "as expected", I won't get paid more (agan, you don't know where I live).
It's real easy to bitch about work ethics on a full stomach while getting back from work in a nice car with heated leather seats.
Exactly. Shit needs to just work, period. Why? Because otherwise, I'm the one getting 2AM calls... and I would be OK with that if I'm properly compensated for it... which I'm not.
Yeah, but that just takes way too much work. You think I really care about the company's/bank's money if I'm not getting paid enough for that job? Security patches can also introduce new problems, like x changes, so y doesn't work, so the main app doesn't work... and what, then I have to manually edit code, introduce the thing that x relied on so that y can work again?
I'm sorry, but this is not your average IT department's job... or if it is, I expect a damn good compensation for it.
I've updated and rolled back snapshots because of shit like this... nah, not gonna try and figure out what the problem was... at least not for the salary I'm currently getting paid. If it burns, it burns, so be it.
Windows has dll hell... so basically, to ge around this, some tools statically link by default. It's not an ideal solution, but it works most of the time... and regarding how unmainatained a Windows install might be (old installs, like Win7) or how badly updated/upgraded it might be (newer installs, Win10 and 11), I guess it is the only choice you actually have to make your app run on as many Windows systems as possible.
No no no, I am not getting promoted anyway... no promotions here. No one ever gets promoted, you don't get bonuses, you don't get overhours pay, you don't get raise... so why bother π€·.
