I have the title of "Lead AI/ML Engineer" right now and that really triggers my impostor syndrome especially after we hired two guys who properly understand linear algebra and mathematics. It's fine though because I get to focus on PoC style apps which is my favorite thing to do anyway.

I gave myself the "architect" job title two jobs ago because my job was to look at all the piecemeal subsystems that we'd developed over the past 15 years and go, "okay, how do we unfuck this?" An example accomplishment was quadrupling the test coverage! (Of course, we only had like 50 tests to start with. A big thing I was trying to unfuck was the existing architecture's impossibility of writing unit tests.) Then I got laid off because "we don't need an architect".

Had a fella send me a message today on Slack asking if I'd prefer to meet on Pesto or Zoom. W-why not just Slack? The platform you're messaging me on? That there's a lil' call button in the top right on? Startup culture is the worst. I foresee a resume update soon.

Also it’s amazing how much pesto in the stores just replaces every ingredient with a cheaper one. Spinach for basil, vegetable oil for olive oil, almonds for pine nuts. Reminds me of some places I’ve worked to be honest.

Pine nuts are expensive, you can experiment with other nuts too. Also be wary of pine mouth.

For people who work for big companies, how long does it take for them to roll out the new macOS versions? It seems to take us at least six months which seems objectively terrible but maybe that’s typical?

That seems pretty reasonable for a general rollout. But I would expect a limited/canary rollout a bit before then, and letting it soak in canary for long enough to make sure there are no issues is one of the reasons it would take six months. I'd also expect them to be accommodating if you had a business reason (that's not just "I must have the newest shiny") to be on the latest release sooner than that.

It seems to take us at least six months which seems objectively terrible but maybe that’s typical? I'm not at a big company, but every time I've installed a new version of OS X/macOS on launch day it has been tremendously broken in at least one major way that has disrupted my workflow. These issues are usually patched away within six months. My current system is from 2017 (new one is ordered but has been delayed 6 months due to reasons [Apple blames covid]). I'm on Big Sur but won't upgrade any further because it's already having a hard time keeping up with all the new bells and whistles.

Yeah we delay about 6 months and it's pretty much by popular demand because the updates so often break poo poo.

The last few macOS versions have all had some pretty major breaking changes for sysadmin things. It used to be pretty standard to deploy macOS to machines via imaging, and big sur broke that completely. The new official Apple-supported way to deploy things via a MDM is actually quite good, but it was potentially a lot of work to adopt and has changed significantly in each version of macOS. Taking 6 months to be ready to start rolling it out would be slow, but not insanely so. Fortunately, you don't actually want to install new versions quickly anyway because of how broken they are. I personally never upgrade to new macOS versions on my primary machine until Xcode starts requiring them.
