Here’s the thing: If you’re managing policy (Azure Security center stuff doesn’t count because it configs that stuff for you) like ‘no public IPs’ or k8s stuff or allowed regions etc etc if you’re doing audit or configifnotexists policies you need the GUI anyways. And your more complicated definitions and assignments are easier to feed parameters in the GUI than via TF, so why the gently caress do it in TF cause you have to be in the GUI anyways. Sometimes people see TF as a hammer and want to nail everything with it

Wait, I am almost 100% sure we have policies created like "no public IP's" and such created and then also assign by terraform.

The only reason this was even brought up in the first place is that we were already IAC for everything else in azure and we were needing to reproduce this work over several tenants. I fought to simply migrate all the subscriptions, but we were still needing to keep them separate for a bunch of book cooking purposes.

Oh, you 100% can. I just don’t know why you would. I haven’t seen many policies granular enough not to just be set at the management group level and inherited down to however you’re grouping your subs, so I don’t think you gain much by loving with a definition til it works in the GUI then porting it into a TF file or running the assignments that way. Like I said - if I see JSON I’m basically peacing the gently caress out because TF isn’t going to help that much. Those particular pieces aren’t really stateful (edit: actually I think they are for Policy but it’s just feeding ARM poo poo into TF so I’d rather use the portal).

Edit: oh I see where there’s confusion. I meant for managing the audit reports and compliance actions wrt the GUI, not that you need it for definitions and assignments. Since I’m already there anyways gently caress managing it with TF

Had another bad interview today and I'm honestly questioning everything.


The guy asked me what the CIDR notation was for a /29. Isn't /29 the CIDR notation??? Honestly thought I knew what a CIDR notation was but I'm so terrible at these interviews I'm not sure anything I thought I know is correct any more. How have I been this poo poo for so long?

I asked him if he meant the subnet mask and he just repeated the question.

Pretty sure the recruiter was bullshitting me because he said they told him this interview went really well, which it definitely did not, but they invited me back for a second interview.

They asked less technical trivia this time and had some decent ones like draw and explain a network you've administered. I instead picked a high level diagram I'd already made in Visio for our data centres and just talked them through it. One question was even something like "everyone lies on their CV. Tell me one thing on yours that isn't true"

I think in general it went poorly overall because I just forget everything or sound like a dumbass when explaining anything. Dunno if I was being trash or one of the guys was being lovely but he asked something like "how do you manage these firewalls" and so I'm saying "what do you mean, like through the web GUI and SSH??" And he just repeats the question again (this was the same CIDR guy from last time), then says something like "well if I was asked this question I'd easily be able to explain how I manage the firewalls", so I say the webgui and SSH again and apparently that's the answer he wants, but because I prefaced it last time with "do you mean..." it was the wrong answer? idk. It's a shame I probably won't get it because it's basically the first enterprise I've actually seen recruiting here, and got anywhere with, since basically everything else is MSPs.

the fact that they allowed, or worse, chose, that guy to interview candidates is the reddest of flags that you don't want to be there, regardless of him being your superior, coworker, or someone you never interact with again

The last job I got was the one interview where I walked out of there saying that I bombed it and I had no hope of getting the job. Usually I think they go alright and just never hear anything back.

I'm in talks with [major computer megacorp] for a position and they really want me in. Doubling my pay, offering bonuses and stock options and the whole thing. After being a contract worker for so long it's really nice and confusing to have an org so interested in bringing me on.

They offered me the job. I accepted it. Still waiting to hear back about a couple of others but not sure how I feel about them. Still not sure about that one dickhead but the manager seemed super chill. there's no forced office work, unless there's onsite work to do, and the office isn't far... and it's not like I'm rolling in opportunities either.

I'd stay where I am now, if not for this list of downsides, because I'm basically unsupervised. my current boss is a Confirmed Dickhead whereas that other guy is only a Suspected Dickhead, and both the managers here want to micromanage everything but they're so incompetent they cant keep track of what you're doing, or respond to an email within 3 weeks, so they're totally out of touch. The pay is poo poo, I'm going from a senior network role to a junior/generic network engineer position and my pay is going up 40%. It's not public sector but it's still a charity, but I've never worked a private sector role. Also they decided to leave WFH up to your line managers discretion and I know he'll do whatever he can to gently caress me over, so there's that too. I've got a couple of great friends here and my junior is a good dude and I feel a bit bad about abandoning him.

Also told them my notice is 1 month when it's actually 2 so it'll be fun to see what my manager pulls when I finally put my notice in.
