Yeah, I took the 10 minutes or whatever it ended up taking to scan a copy of my signature, so anytime I get some poo poo pdf without an esign process I can just dump it on there with foxit. It’s great.

Like, probably most of them. Bigass Moth posted:Nothing wrong with that, stamps of signatures have been accepted for decades. Kind of all goes out the window when to create your own perfect duplicate, you just need to use 'save as other' in Acrobat cause no-one bothered to even enable the basic security features of pdf.

A quick google tells me they are legally enforceable, but I note most the of the top results are from parties with a vested interested in them (Docu-sign, Adobe). Since I quickly became bored, I'm not sure if there's any case-law challenging the validity of electronic sigs (to be clear I mean electronic reproductions of a physical sig, not a cryptographic signature).

This always makes me feel safe and secure.... Our credit card processing gateway, run by one of the largest players in the card terminal market, Verifone, is still using untrusted Symantec certificates.  Guess I shouldn't be surprised. They only recently made the website work with browsers other than IE.

I got contacted this weekend by one of the headhunters I used two years ago saying he had a job i might be interested in so I went back to their website to update my resume and couldn't remember my PW/UID so I asked for a reset. They e-mailed me my password in plaintext. Thanks, I guess.

Pissing me off: one of two or three people on the team that I actually respect is apparently graded 3 levels below "senior engineer" and 1 level above "new graduate", which we literally don't even hire on my team. Also pissing me off: in order to get promoted to "senior" I apparently have to have "industry-wide impact" despite the fact that the people who currently hold the title on the team are actual driftwood who don't even have team-wide impact. To the interviewmobile!

Nobody on it has been at the company more than 2 years, because the previous SRE team was 2 people and they both quit at the same time after months of being overworked.

My team used to have 3 Sr Developers on it. Only one of the people truly deserved it and he quit, and the person who got promoted the position certainly didn't deserve it, and all of those positions have been moved to other teams so now we officially have 0 Sr Devs(when someone on my team moves to another tram their position goes with them and doesn't get the hole in our team filled. This has caused the team to be about 50% of its size 2 years ago, but with more work to do).

Unless you're in the business of selling yourselves like you're a consultancy or just fishing for Gartner recognition, why is 'industry-wide impact' even a relevant metric? Also you could get it by sending suspicious packages to Oracle and the industry would probably thank you, but it doesn't sound like that's what they are after.

Bigass Moth posted:Its 2019, if you make me print something out, sign it, scan it and email it back to you instead of doing electronic signature then gently caress you. This is my hell. I have digitized forms, I've made them with google sheets, I've used Zapier to create a timestamped process flow. I have shown the powers that be that each form costs almost $1.5 after all the printing and scanning is complete. Then I showed them the thousands of IT Requests that I've done so far this year and apply the cost there. Doesn't matter. I'm "bad with paperwork". The work is done. Digital versions already exist, you just wont use them.

Also you could get it by sending suspicious packages to Oracle and the industry would probably thank you, but it doesn't sound like that's what they are after. At some point in the technical ladder, it is reasonable to expect people to have an impact outside of the company, be it speaking at conferences, or contributing significantly to open-source, or shepherding their own internal projects into the open source world. But I would expect that from a distinguished engineer-level person, and we literally do not employ a single person at that level, before even beginning to touch on the obvious disparity between the expectations set when hiring vs. the expectations set when promoting. I would have an easier time getting senior if I just quit, applied again, interviewed for my old job, and asked for more money. The traditional silicon valley technical ladder goes something like: SDE 1/2: team or task-level impact Senior/Staff: team-level impact, mentors juniors Principal: impact outside of the team Distinguished: company-wide or industry-wide impact Fellow: A wizard?

You're meant to just have a blog and then become some sort of superhero Edit for things that piss you off: If I reboot something network related in a cloud management platform, maybe don't then send me an alert when you notice it's gone down. How hard would it be to send the reboot command and then ignore the state for ten minutes or so. Thanks Ants fucked around with this message at 21:51 on May 20, 2019 |

I've got some young dudes working in my warehouse and I overheard one of them say something along the lines of 'back in my senior year' and I said, "When was that, last week?" He answered, "No, I graduated in 2015. When did you graduate? I told him and then added on that I grew up back in the good old days when the space shuttle was still flying and you only had to worry about the Soviet Union. He says, "What's the Soviet Union?"

Good luck, and good on you for making long-shot applications! I've probably said this even in this thread before, but it's good and correct to apply for every job you want. It's the recruiter's job to filter you out if they don't think you're qualified. I passed the phone screens for both companies I had in flight, and am doing the travel-booking rigamarole to head across the country two different times for onsites, so I am very excited, which I know makes me off-topic for this thread.

Wizard of the Deep posted:Nah, it's time for some YotJ energy in here again. I've been going through a series of interviews at once place. Their interview process is a minimum of nine hours long (most of a work day on site and a bunch of remote poo poo). They aren't FAANG, the only reason they get away with it is that people let them. Including me. I wish I didn't want out of my current place because then I could have just told them, "That many hours of interviews, huh? Not interested for that reason alone." This is the time I wish we had more regulation and standards around our industry, so companies could have any vague idea at all of whether a candidate was worth anything before the interviews start. Still, I need to make a change. Hopefully it goes well.

I knew that was coming and I’m fine with that - it’s the lack of historical context on things that bothers me . Technological assumptions are made by taking foundational elements for granted without understanding their still active or still relevant origins - that’s not good in an industry that is built on layers of poo poo.

Why do some people seem absolutely hell-bent on taking the path of most resistance? Spending days asking everybody except the team all those people are explicitly directing your query towards? Check. Wanting to buy almost anything except the one thing that is designed to solve your problem and has a proven track record of doing so? Check.

A fax came in... It was a credit card scam, and one of our salespeople completely fell for it. The scammer went so far as to register a domain name, setup a Gsuite account for email, and setup a website on WIX to try and legitimize their fake business. They then sent a fax to one of our stores on somewhat convincing letterhead. However if you actually read the fax, it is in terribly broken English. Every step of the process was nothing but red flags and gross violations of our internal polices, yet the sales guy took payment via emailed credit card numbers and ordered over $10k in merchandise. While he was attempting to arrange for the scammer to pick up the merchandise, he finally realized something might be wrong when he couldn't get them on the phone. It had already be going on for a month at this point. The scammer was adamant they wanted to move quickly, but the vendor had difficulty in delivering that much of the item on short notice. Sales guy finally spoke up to management, and within hours of him admitting he hosed up, the charge backs came in. Of course they where stolen credit card numbers...

Yeah, the fax was a new one.. We don't publish our emails anywhere, only clients know what they are. So I am guessing this is why they started with a fax. Their fake website has a 888 toll-free number. But it goes to a voice mail box. Here is the kicker though... The scammer eventually gave the sales guy a address in a nearby city.. The sales guy decides to go there, just to drop by and introduce himself. He finds the building is blocked off for renovation. This STILL did not set off any red flags! He continued to email the scammer. The guy has been going back and forth with the scammer for almost a month now via email. More and more details just keep coming out and its all terrible. He was preparing all kinds of quotes for the scammer for various things. I will be really surprised if this dude isn't fired by the end of the week.
