SRE is all about the content (when applied in an IT application) 07:52 <@Corydon76> In the era of formalization of job descriptions, the formalizers let certain things fall through the cracks, which meant everybody could be doing their jobs, and yet things still might be broken, because of "not my job"isms 07:52 <@eryc> the SRE book is worth speed reading 07:52 <@Corydon76> DevOps is the attempt to fix that formalization, by saying, in effect, if things ain't working, you ain't doing your job. 07:53 <@eryc> i have a bunch of material i printed out when Facebook and LinkedIn were recruiting me for an SRE job 07:53 < aestetix> Corydon76: but from my experience, DevOps turns into a blanket term for someone who does everything 07:53 <@eryc> not from the SRE book, but other sources 07:54 <@Corydon76> aestetix: someone who has the _authority_ to do everything, yes 07:55 <@Corydon76> If something isn't working, we don't wait for the guy who does that to get back from lunch. We fix it immediately. 07:56 <@Corydon76> You can have authority to do everything, even if you consistently only focus on a single area. 07:56 <@eryc> specifically this material: https://www.educative.io/courses/grokking-the-system-design-interview 07:56 < PigBot> Grokking the System Design Interview (at www.educative.io) http://tinyurl.com/y5p7b9mm 07:57 <@eryc> facebook gave me a free coupon for it 07:58 <@eryc> i did an in-person with linkedin and realized california has become a terrible place since i lived there <2008 07:59 <@eryc> didn't bother doing the in-person with facebook but they really wanted me to 07:59 <@Corydon76> California has been a terrible place ever since they decided that it was more important to restrain taxes to a point below which it becomes sustainable (in the 70s). 07:59 <@eryc> though they were going to let me work out of their chelsea office 08:00 <@Corydon76> I told Facebook point blank that if they wanted to open Nashville office, I'd reconsider, but their requirement of me to move was a no-go. 08:01 <@eryc> i basically told them something similar 08:02 <@Corydon76> But pretty much _every_ city is on an unsustainable path, since they're giving away the money they need to support infrastructure to lure businesses in. 08:03 <@Corydon76> But their rocks glasses and whiskey stones were a nice gift. 08:03 <@Corydon76> Facebook's, that is 08:04 <@dc0de> I agree, Cities are a losing proposition. 08:04 <@dc0de> and an extremely ugly place to live. 08:04 <@Corydon76> Their offer to pay for the aftercare of my upcoming heart attack, if I come work for them was also quite alluring. 08:10 < aestetix> well I mean 08:10 < aestetix> According to Gitlab, DevOps is exclusively the process from comitting code to deploying it on webservers 08:11 < aestetix> I doubt they would include anything like dealing with databases, security, etc 08:16 <@Corydon76> Isn't it funny how formalizers decided to formalize DevOps, not realizing that DevOps was entirely a response to their shitcannery? 08:37 < aestetix> hahaha 08:38 < aestetix> eryc: yeah california is an awful place to live now 08:38 < aestetix> and facebook is an awful place to work 08:38 < aestetix> source: I have a friend who works there, he complains about it all the time, and he works 80 hour weeks 08:39 < aestetix> well 60-80 hour 09:45 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 09:45 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has joined #se2600 09:58 <@eryc> that sounds shitty 09:58 <@eryc> the other big downside with them or say google, is that their tech stack is completely unique to them 09:59 <@eryc> so you get no transferrable skills other than brand recognition 09:59 <@eryc> facebook has their own variant of php called hack 09:59 <@eryc> seemed aweful 09:59 < xray> Compared to what? In the Navy at see it was 7x24 for over 280 days a year. 10:00 < xray> In port it was 24 hours every third day and 12+ hours the other two. 10:00 <@eryc> if anyone wants a job at Coinbase i have a recruiter who i've been ignoring for a month now 10:00 < xray> s/see/sea/ 10:00 <@oddball> What are they looking for? 10:01 <@eryc> i think rust/go programmer 10:01 <@eryc> they have job listings on their site 10:02 <@oddball> ok. I know a couple folks that are in the hunt. 10:02 <@eryc> if they see something on their site they like lmk and i'll pass along the contact info 10:02 <@oddball> cool 10:04 < aestetix> eryc: that too 10:04 < aestetix> well also 10:04 < aestetix> at least at facebook, most employees are 21-25 10:04 < aestetix> they have no lives outside of work, so thye just work all the time 10:04 <@eryc> i have a recruiter contact for Dropbox too if they want it 10:05 <@eryc> aestetix: neckbeard younglings 10:05 <@eryc> hard pass 10:06 <@eryc> well, from what i observed they just pull up the .com bus on university graduation day and haul in a fresh batch of students to overwork 10:07 <@eryc> the large campuses with cafeterias and shared apartments are a pretty easy transition for them i'm sure 10:07 <@Mirage> Personally I'll take overworked any day in lieu of waiting for something to do and filling in all the downtime with meaningless training for things you have no interest in and will likely never use. 10:08 <@Mirage> ^ my job for the past year 10:08 <@Mirage> The latter that is... 10:19 <@oddball> had a guy out to give us an estimate on new windows for the house. Part of his sales pitch was that they were rated #1 for employee hapiness for employees under 40. He said "you would think Facebook or Google, but..." 10:19 <@oddball> I told him "clearly, you've never talked to folks that have worked at Facebook or Google." 10:19 <@Mirage> What company? 10:21 <@Corydon76> Pet peeve: recruiters who send me a URL to sign up for a call with them. 10:22 <@Mirage> As much as the quote was we got from Andersen I can't figure out a) how they stay in business, b) who the fuck pays their prices for anything to keep them in business. 10:22 <@Corydon76> Mirage: people with more money than sense, usually 10:23 <@oddball> I forget the name of the company. 10:23 <@Corydon76> Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they subcontract with builders, who get negotiated rates. 10:23 <@Mirage> Luckily there is a local window company here in the Dallas area that I had recommended who replaced all windows in the old house for ~9k, which is too much IMO, but much better than the ~50k that Anderen quoted. 10:24 <@oddball> shit! 10:24 <@oddball> We got quoted $17k 10:25 <@Mirage> Pella is supposed to be cheaper than Andersen, but probably not by a whole lot. We cancelled them coming out to quote us after we got the quote from Andersen and then the local company. 10:25 <@Mirage> How many windows? I think we replaced 17-19...which was every window in the entire house. 10:29 <@oddball> I think 16, but they're big windows. 10:29 <@oddball> And these guys use Pella windows 10:40 -!- opticron [~opticron@136.53.69.43] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds] 10:50 -!- opticron [~opticron@136.53.69.43] has joined #se2600 10:50 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o opticron] by ChanServ 11:07 -!- Shadow404 [~shadow404@76.237.111.250] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 11:08 -!- Shadow404 [~shadow404@76.237.111.250] has joined #se2600 11:08 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds] 11:18 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has joined #se2600 12:04 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p4FCA28B3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #se2600 12:10 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p4FCA28B3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 12:10 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #se2600 12:34 <@Mirage> This new work laptop is insane/stupid..plug in a USB drive, even a freshly formatted one w/ nothing on it..and you _always_ get a popup about "blocking autorun.inf from running". 12:35 <@Mirage> What's annoying is that it steals focus from whatever I was doing every time it does this 12:55 -!- rpifan_ [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #se2600 12:56 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 12:58 -!- strages [uid11297@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-pxgbfznkqnqhzrgy] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 13:46 <@Evilpig> https://www.gamestop.com/toys-collectibles/lifestyle/kitchen/kitchen-accessories-gadgets/products/x-men-wolverine-corn-cob-holders/11052171.html 13:46 < PigBot> X-Men Wolverine Corn Cob Holders | GameStop (at www.gamestop.com) http://tinyurl.com/v5drk3b 14:56 -!- rpifan_ [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 14:56 -!- rpifan_ [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #se2600 15:01 -!- rpifan_ is now known as rpifan 15:16 -!- rpifan_ [~rpifan@p4FCA28B3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #se2600 15:19 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 15:25 -!- rpifan_ is now known as rpifan 15:29 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p4FCA28B3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 15:29 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #se2600 16:08 -!- rpifan_ [~rpifan@p4FCA28B3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #se2600 16:11 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds] 16:13 -!- rpifan_ is now known as rpifan 17:00 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p4FCA28B3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 17:06 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #se2600 17:08 -!- LastChild [LastChild@c-67-187-104-215.hsd1.tn.comcast.net] has joined #se2600 17:08 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o LastChild] by ChanServ 17:43 -!- rpifan [~rpifan@p200300D2674305E4B0543E84907F7827.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Quit: Leaving] --- Log closed Wed Jan 22 00:00:37 2020
