How do y'all politely tell people to gently caress off? I've got this new helpdesk guy sitting next to me that just talks all day long. Half the time I can't tell if he's talking to himself or talking to me or what. I do the headphones thing and pretend to ignore him to try and focus on my work but then he just comes over and interrupts me to ask for help with stuff. ...which is fine. I don't mind helping the guy but like I can't afford to be walking him through every single problem he encounters. When I say things like "please not right now, I'm trying to focus" or "I can't help you I'm trying to finish this" or "bro I am literally on the phone with someone please stop yelling at me", he just looks at me like I shot his dog and goes back to mumbling to himself.

Yeah, it sounds like you've been pretty firm with it. You might also try framing it as you expect them to try to figure something out for 15 minutes or so before coming to you, that way you are not robbing them of learning. But the speaking to themselves thing just makes me think they don't understand how you prefer your environment around you to be. I haven't been successful with that sort of thing. Personally, I'd try to move to a location that isn't shoulder to shoulder.

Just cut the CI/CD pipeline execution time for our biggest software team from ~24 min to 13 min  . Datadog has a surprisingly good CI integration, made it very easy to drill down and compute the averages I wanted. Biggest offenders were our go image builds, which somehow managed to use up nearly 6 full loving CPU cores through our k8s runner. The previous limit was 1 CPU, so lol, lmao, so many sigkills. Redid the node pool and resource requests/limits. I’m only a novice with go, but that seems like an inordinate amount of resources to burn on every image build. I feel like there’s got to be a way of making that more efficient. We’re just running gobuild with a bevy of dependencies. Nothing too exciting. Also implemented cacheing and it works but is about 10 seconds slower than when we downloaded all our go dependencies from GitHub over the internet. It’s in GCS and not local to the cluster so I’m not hugely surprised, but it still sucks and is something to look into tomorrow.

Being an infrastructure guy these days sucks. No one gives a poo poo about infrastructure until it stops working. C suite is pushing a huge "cloud first strategy" and I get it, a big chunk of the company deals with internal apps, and website poo poo and all that, but there's a bunch of us keeping things like AD, Storage, Virtual Hosts etc running and none of that stuff is going away anytime soon. We have like 7PB of storage in use and 10K+ virtual machines. You're not going to just lift and shift that poo poo to the cloud. I generally think highly of our higher ups, but they just keep saying "cloud" and I'm starting to think they don't understand the ramifications of everything. That or they only care about certain parts of IT. Not to mention we're being pressed hard to find savings as our expenses are pretty high lately, and I've NEVER seen cloud anything come out less expensive on a cash expenditure basis. Don't get me wrong there's lots of reasons to use the "cloud" but cost savings has never been one of them.

Lifting and shifting your standard enterprise VMware environment into a cloud service makes no sense, it's not what it was designed for. But C-levels.

At my place no one bats an eye at a t-shirt, but I like to have dress shirts lying around for when I need to be camera ready. No tie ever though. Haven’t worn a tie in probably over 2 years :-/ last time was for a funeral

I generally think highly of our higher ups, but they just keep saying "cloud" and I'm starting to think they don't understand the ramifications of everything. That or they only care about certain parts of IT. I went over what cloud infra was for in some detail for the C-suite (with simple explanatory visual aids) so they could kind of understand where we could/should use it and where we shouldn’t. Not sure if that would work where you are. Though I work in manufacturing so it was a little bit easier. If it is required for local survivability to run process at a plant regardless of fiber seeking backhoes or whatever, it’s on prem. If it’s some service that is only locally significant or has a relatively low load variability, on prem. Anything else it makes sense to do a cost analysis for shipping it up vs keeping it local. Since you already have to keep nerds around to keep the factory infra and automation running, there’s no delusion of magically sending everything to ~the cloud~ and being able to get rid of a bunch of opex via magic. Or at least I don’t get many questions anymore about how we can send process control to the cloud. At last $job I’d still get questions yearly (during budget season) about just converting everything to wireless so we didn’t have to maintain physical cabling infrastructure or buy network switches, and have to explain the same reasons why you still need physical cabling and switches in some capacity every time.
