wolrah posted:There are a shocking number of people who never actually understand what they're doing at their job. They have learned a certain set of actions that result in them receiving a paycheck and not getting chewed out by their boss, and that's it. I call them "human macros" because they just know to click here, then here, then here, then press Y, etc. If anything unexpected happens, something moves, something looks different, they break down even if the solution is blindingly obvious. I have a coworker who is quite possibly one of the dumbest people I've ever met. Right now, he is having problem with the application that he is in charge of, and has been working on for years. The problem is it talks to a very specific type of printer. They have turned up a new server for some reason, and when this server talks to a printer, the connection stops. Because this app is important, he schedules a meeting with people from about 5 departments. The meeting starts, it has the wrong call in number. Sends out a second invite, but is then 5 minutes late to his own meeting. 15 minutes later, meeting starts up. It takes multiple questions from people for him to explain how this works, and describe the traffic flow. User runs an app on their desktop, it pulls info from a database, sends to server, which then sends to printer. Ok, simple enough. Traffic is verified that it works until the server talks to the printer. I pull logs from the local firewall, it shows the connection is being reset by the printer. I tell him this, and he asks how I make the firewall stop doing that. Another person joins in, says a reset from the device means IT is dropping the connection. Again, he goes silent for a bit. He asks if its a firewall that is only installed on laptops. He is told no, as its not installed on printers. He leaves the call to talk to support. Every hour or so, I get a group IM from him offering updates. After 4 of those, he discovers that the new server, while talking on the same port, now uses TLS. He needs to update the device firmware. He says the instructions said to check the firmware version, but didn't think it mattered since the old one worked.

My new job is so bad that it has taken me a record amount of time to go from "ooo, new place smell" to "I don't give a gently caress what's on fire." I don't know if life stuff / state of the world stuff is compounding it, but good lord do I not care. I think I need a career change. I've been doing "IT generalist" for way too long.

Sounds familiar, I did mostly lateral, slightly diagonal moves in my last couple of job changes to various flavors of senior network engineer, but if you stick to the operations side all you end up with is fires that are more difficult to put out instead of actual fulfilling work. And frankly, putting out fires while the whole company stares stopped being interesting 10 years ago.

I think if I actually got off my rear end and got an AWS cert or two it would help. My main problem is I just don't have an excuse to work with that stuff in my normal day to day.

We've been using teams since January, but twice last week someone called the entire company basically. First time was the Boss, second the HR lady. Neither of them ever said anything on the call or acknowledged that they did it. They may not even know! It was the first time I've ever even heard the voice of some of the people on the call, and they've all been here a year or so at least.

Do any of the team management softwares have ways of coordinating Small Group tasks vs Large Group Tasks in different ways/styles? You know like, 'any call over 10 people auto-mutes all on join' sort of stuff. not like as a feature to be hacked in with your implimentation, but like, awareness of small vs big collabs by default?

I mean....what did you expect it to do when you hit the call button on a group chat? If you don't have teams quiet hours setup on your phone then that's your own lookout.

I'm not sure if it's configurable or not, but my Teams pops up a little warning that there are already 4 people on the call, and mutes the mic before I join. You can manually unmute yourself if you wanna Leeeeroy in.

You can manually unmute yourself if you wanna Leeeeroy in. I believe the default behavior is that teams will mute you if and only if there are people already on the call. The first joiner(s) won't be auto-muted. Despite using this many times and over thousands of meetings and having the same screen show each time, someone will still join, unmuted, and rip a fat ol' defeated sigh into their mic.

It's been the opposite in my experience, #5 will inevitibly join and have to be told that they're on mute. Nearly 18 months into lockdown and they still do it.

bull3964 posted:I mean....what did you expect it to do when you hit the call button on a group chat? I think the point is the button was probably accidentally pressed. Either a misclick or they thought they were in a different chat. It really should warn you and ask if you really want to call more than 4 people. We figured out that problem in Outlook long ago. Also I think there's a key combo. I accidentally called a coworker the other day by mashing my keyboard.

Last week I pressed the "record call" in a Skype meeting out of curiosity, unaware that it shows to everybody that you clicked it, and that you cannot stop recording the call until frantically clicking it for like 10 seconds while apologizing profusely.

i hate* the fastly API so much. Deploying via terrafrom is incredibly confusing! The VCL we are deploying via terraform and the VCL that is actually applied are quite different, and it's just a really non-intuitive setup. The extra layer of abstraction is really questionable when you already have a config as code setup. At this point, I'd rather just template in the VCL directly rather than create like half of it through terraform and half via included template files. Ugh! *don't understand well enough

Backstory: I'm trying to increase disk space on a Linux VM, LVM has not been configured and instead all of the drives are single vmdk's mounted as separate drives and listed by their UUID's in /etc/fstab. I increase the size of the vmdk, unmount the drives, expand the partition, resize the filesystem, and run an fsck just to make sure everything is ok. running the fsck just gives pages and pages of "bad superblock" and "inode missing" and "superblock backup corrupted" and I can't remount the drives, and no amount of restoring backup superlocks or moving inodes is fixing it. so I grumble something about how it should be using LVM and go to just restore a backup of this server so it can go back into production and I can do some research and figure out another way to do this. Except I can't RDP to the backup server and I notice in the vmware console that all of the usernames are of a different format than our usual domain names. So I ask my co-worker what's up with this, he sends me a link to our password manager and the following exchange occurs:  Their entire backup infrastructure is not domain-joined. Anyone who needs access to it uses the global local admin account to make themselves a local admin account  Between this, the lack of LVM, and a thousand other little things I'm starting to question whether this environment is actually bad or if my standards are just too high.
