Although it doesn’t help clarity when third parties step in to carry support forward. See the Python 2 situation, where companies like Red Hat and Amazon (for Lambda) are going to keep supporting the dumb thing for the foreseeable future. Even though it’s been deprecated for ages and is officially “EOL” this year according to the core developers and community.

The term has a defined meaning but there are enough exceptions you can’t entirely take it on its face every time.

My company did this for a bank. There was an old feature that we were dropping but they complained. We threw a high 6 figure, maybe 7, at them thinking that would be that but no. They sent payment within 30 days.

8. Effective Monday January 27 , we will cease doing Work From Home days. We need all of our staff and managers to be in the office so we can drive Service. I know this change will be unpopular, but it is being enacted across the board to include Incident Managers, Application Service Managers, etc. Any exception to this rule (i.e. emergencies & coverage) needs to be approved first.

This is because of the change freeze for Christmas which led to groups blowing their wads on a stream of changes in January which destroyed SLAs. Extreme self-ownage. Too bad because our director and my manager had no say in the decision.

Yep. If you've never had WFH at a position, it sucks not getting it.

Having WFH and then having it ripped away is much, much worse. That would be the tipping point for me to start looking for new employment, on principle.

I'd need an intensive course on how to behave in public.

e.g. "The importance of wearing a belt with a kimono when the Amazon man delivers" would be the first lesson.

You should have seen pen test results I got at the beginning of the week. A website that has only existed for 18 months has tls 1.0 enabled as well as little to no input validation. I sat in the meeting with the dev team and when the subject of input validation libraries was brought up, too many folks didn't know what the gently caress was being discussed.

Dang, no warning either. Told on Friday, starts on Monday.

These kinds of changes are usually to reduce headcount, in my opinion. That's why, for most of you who are like "oh my god, don't they know?", I just say, yes they know. It's intentional.

Absolutely. The only thing I do better in the office is point at various printouts in a conference room. Anything else is best done without interruption.

I just found an unsecured rest endpoint and pulled an entire prod database from a dev API call. Bless.

Does a dev environment have access to production resources, or did the data get cloned over and not sanitized? Neither one is good, but one is worse than the other!

Network isolation between different environments is generally good practice. It shouldn't be possible for a dev resource to access a prod resource even in the event of a human error or configuration error otherwise.

At my last company at least twice there had been an accident of somebody flushing a very important prod redis instance when they thought they were working in another environment.

something I've learned a lot over the past couple years is that you can have really bad technical tooling, processes, you can even have really bad opinions, and it doesn't have that much of an impact on the success of the business overall

if your job lasted a decade without version control someone was still doing the important parts right
