My previous manager (same company, different team) was an idiot who somehow failed his way up and he gave way too much credit to courses and certificates. He would end up hiring the worst people (both from a team fit and a skills fit). The one candidate I pushed for that didn’t have any of that BS ended up being awesome.

Luckily enough people complained and a few people quit that he got banished to the shadow realm (he’s good at a completely different skillset which requires you to be stupidly annoying like he is, so they moved him to a team of…just himself).

With the current state of affairs, I’m worried he’s going to fall out of a window and shoot himself in the back of the head

Alright that is great to hear, it makes me a little more hopeful.

My concern is that Cuomo is planning to run as an independent and my pessimism is telling me that somehow he might win. I mean no one thought Trump would win in 2016 or again in 2024, but here we are.

But the part of me that wants something to hold on to is desperately optimistic that this might be the start of the change.

Have you ever thought of moving to become a Cloud Admin or DevOps or something?

Currently working as a weird hybrid DevOps Engineer/Solutions engineer position, but I still see job postings for DevOps engineers out there.

But yeah, I’m right there with you, I’m fed up with the IT world and have been thinking of a career change but I just have no idea what kind of career I’d actually like.

May I ask, what are you taking classes for?

Feels like we’re headed towards a new dark ages

Isn’t this just… feudalism

I was so confused by the original post because I saw “Tery” and thought this was supposed to be Batman Beyond lol

It sounds like the problem is that you have too many working brain cells. You’ll need to kill about 90% of them off to qualify with this administration.

This feels like a facetious post because what. There’s no way he’s serious

And then years from now when this all comes to a head, they’re gonna hire some poor schmucks to fix that crappy code

LOL

I was actually thinking about my experience with Lemmy as I was reading this article, particularly how the scrolling is made to generate rage. I don’t filter my feed and just view “all”, but I don’t think I’ve once walked away from Lemmy not in a bad mood.

Now that may be observation bias or something, or a function of how I don’t tailor my own experience, but regardless, Lemmy leaves me angrier when I leave then when I open the app. I’m trying to cut back and eventually quit.

And this is why I have no faith in the recovery of this country. After everything that’s happened, these people are cheering on the destruction of the country.

These are the people who are annoying and useless as shit in IT. Most coworkers I’ve had who are constantly getting certifications or attending conferences contribute very little in the way of work or knowledge. The information required to get those certifications goes in one ear and out the other for them. People like that are more interested in clout than anything.

Not to say anyone taking training or certifications is like this, but there is a specific type obsessed with these “markers” that spend the majority of their time chasing certifications and things of that nature.

On the flip side, I have a beast of a coworker who says she doesn’t do anything tech related outside of work to decompress and she’s easily one of our most productive and likable coworkers.

I understand it’s due to the rotten minds of small men, but it’s just so strange to me that they would spend so much time to create a problem that shouldn’t be a problem.

We have plenty of other legitimate problems that need addressing, but instead these idiots are going out of their way to oppress a small percentage of the population who aren’t doing any harm.

Don’t forget about his other grand accomplishments like MyFace or Pee Bibs!

What was the VPN service mentioned? The comment you replied to got removed.

Not the person you’re responding to, but I think that the argument “we shouldn’t do X because no other animals do it” is a bad argument in general and overall weakens your position. Because there are plenty of things that humans do that animals don’t do that are good (like developing and applying vaccines for example).

There are plenty of other valid and good reasons to promote dairy alternatives (such as health or environmental reasons).

I would be surprised if they don’t already have this

The same amount of dumb you have to be to be “god fearing” and think that a treasonous, lying, cheating, adulterous, rapist of an orange baboon is some sort of messiah
