"experience in using WAN optimizers (solarwinds)" buddy I am the WAN optimizer

what's the point of a network engineer if they only click in the web interface of solarwinds. let me write RPLs to decide where the traffic goes

what's the alternative? turn-by-turn devops?

how is SRE a corporate function. what the fuck does strategy leadership mean. fuck off

it's so funny how european governments are like if you smoke weed you're supporting killing children and international trafficking!! we will never allow this moral depravity!! meanwhile here you can buy a drink with 100mg of THC for $8 from the corner store, and every bodega will just sell you weed, and like things are fine (well, they're fine regarding weed...)

sliding scale salaries that came around with the generalization of remote work are really interesting in that they remove the pretention that salary is related to the work that you provide, and instead it's a stipend so you don't die and can keep working

why does "system administrator" mean both "someone who clicks on the salesforce web panel" and "someone who is up at 3am rolling back TXG on a ZFS storage server to recover hundreds of terabytes of business-critical data" and also "someone who knows a bit of bash and ansible and kills processes that are eating server cpu time every so often"

the UK govt publishing research that says low traffic neighborhood are good and with the same breath saying they'll crush them is such a huge blow for liberal ideology lmao

i love that wix / deviantart is hiring remote but only if you live on mountain time, too. like fuck you buddy if I want to wake up two hours late and finish work two hours late I should be allowed to!!

this company is recruiting in brussels, belgium, but they only wrote brussels in the indeed form or whatever so it says Brussels, Illinois instead

? source: trust me bro I was born over 18 years ago

ah, yes, EOE... the Equal Opportunity Evangelion

@pettter I mean me too but like things are what they are and I need to pay rent

I would appreciate it if I could get fewer emails from indeed and more emails from the company I interviewed for a week ago lmao

just got it! they're not hiring me 🙃

they're "not at the scale where they need someone with my skillset" which like maybe I should just become a dev lol nobody seems to be hiring sys/net engineering people anymore

CPR was actually invented in the 90s by the bee gees to sell more copies of their hit single "Stayin' Alive"

@alyx 🥲 github ipv6 when

I love when websites try to automatically parse my resume and add "puppetry" as a skill because they see puppet in there
