Title, start date and time, job title is about all that’s on the “contract”.

Rolls and responsabilities, not anything else, are not defined.

To where?

Somewhere with a substantial pay reduction that does NOT want me there and likely requires I learn a new language in midlife.

I’m fine, it’s not a hellscape here, there are problems everywhere.

My dude, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s me in fact.

Even if I had a contract it wouldn’t matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

That’s the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.

That’s cute you believe that

Where are you crossing? Around here the population on both sides of the border are pretty indistinguishable, except for accent.

Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

I’m talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example… Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it’s untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs… They don’t get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.

“IT people” here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.

It’s been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.

Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.

2016 is well after 9/11/2001… People where already very I jaded on the Internet.

I suspect you where just too young to be jaded yourself yet.

Terrible take, she’s not a politician and not interested.

Now Gretchen Whitmer might have been a better candidate had we been able to have a primary.

Even 20 years ago Linux was easier to install then Windows.

Last time I recall Linux being tricky was like late 90s.

Men get sexually assaulted as well, difference is nobody gives a shit.

And your not taking into account the money the Chinese government is dumping into the industry to produce those low cost products.

The goal is to dominate the industry world wide, and you just want to allow that.

This isn’t ‘fear mongering’ this is realism.

Your last sentence is just hilarious. You believe we can’t do it because capitalism is bad, and so you want to cede the entire future of the industry to a forign power run by a dictator who would 100% use it as a weapon against us.

The world isn’t black or white, and in this case protectionism for local industry is the best of the many bad choices.

Frankly we should be dumping public money into the same industry, but we have a strong majority who are fighting it tooth & nail. If you want to be angry about the expensive EVs here, get upset about the lack of government subsidies compared to China.

Pretty short sighted take.

When we ceed the entire auto market to Chinese manufacturing, do you think our economy will thrive?

Do you believe they won’t use this power to influence our actions on the global stage?

Wait your 2 years and calm down.

Red hat, 25 years ago learned to recompile the kernel to make my sound card/modem work.

Because it’s shit.

If I apt install an app, I expect it NOT to be a snap. I want it to use shared libraries, not bring its own along. They hide from you that they are installing the snap not deb package.

Then you run into all sorts of permissions issues accessing the filesystem from the snap app… Because snap is rather broken in this regard.

Functionally snap is a worse solution then deb, but I guess it’s easier on the developer/maintainer as you don’t get lost in shared dependincy hell.

I feel snaps should be an option if you need cutting edge version of a software that can’t use your shared libs, but never the default install method.

If you’re keeping score isreal has for sure put more points on the board.

But Hamas does suck as much as the Israeli government, yes.

The biggest victims here? The Palestinians.

You know Plex is trying to become a streaming platform, right? Just shoving that add supported streaming into you face all the time.
