My first job was about 200 people but there was a satellite office with 3 people. Similar story, someone left and they tried to replace him for the same salary. The job ad was for project manager/lead dev/office manager/customer support and user training.

They actually hired someone who latest 6 weeks

Yeah, humans regularly deliver stuff wrong on our street. There is no way robots will manage. I get packages for both by neighbours and they get mine more often than correct deliveries and one of my neighbours is a business.

Set push.autoSetupRemote in your gitconfig and it'll do it first time

A great example of this is TSA luggage locks. Mandated backdoor, master keys leaked by company that makes them, now anyone can open any TSA approved lock.

I like to think this whole thing will collapse and there'll be a massive demand for real programmers to clean up/rewrite all the AI slop.

But your thing seems more likely.

I meant running windows on them, its enormous and its all linux servers. I know you can run windows but it'll be a tiny fraction.

This is my thought, they've all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they'd rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.

This is the same in UK. There are people who believe that illegal immigration is the reason rents are high and jobs are hard to get and also they're all on benefits. It's illegal to rent to or employ an illegal immigrant and I'm not sure how they are supposed to apply for benefits as an illegal immigrant but the narrative persists. Legal immigrants here have zero access to any benefits at all.

But, obviously it is all their fault and not those illegally employing and housing them.

How long until someone asks an LLM how to customize the property names of JSON and it tells them to use github copilot to that 😂

I did this once, it was legitimate but he refused to tell me even what department he called from. I said i wasn't going to give personal into to an incoming call and i wasn't calling back unless i knew why. He ended up mailing me a letter instead.

I almost got scammed a few years ago by being called about fraudulent activity the day after i reported fraudulent activities, in hindsight I think they just got lucky with timing, but I take no chances now.

Ever noticed how decades ago if someone defeated a bank's security we called it bank robbery, but now it's called identity theft and we get blamed for it.

Another one for immich but I'm also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn't public.

My last job did this. They offered more for those who had worked there longer. People with over 15 years got about a years pay and they all took it. People who had been there under a year got nothing so they all stayed.

I was going to take then they withdrew the offer for all devs. I think a lot tried to take it and they realised no one would be left. I would have got 3-4 months pay. Loads of institutional knowledge lost though, i left anyway a few months later.

 

We're using Terraform to manage our AWS infrastructure and the state itself is also in AWS. We've got 2 separate accounts for test and prod and each has an S3 bucket with the state files for those accounts.

We're not setting up alternate regions for disaster recovery and it's got me wondering if the region the terraform S3 bucket is in goes down then we won't be able to deploy anything with terraform.

So what's the best practice for this? Should we have a bucket in every region with the state files for the projects in that region but then that doesn't work for multi-region deployments.
