You mentioned Trello, but I'm not sure why you're discounting it for personal use. I've been using it off and on for years and am a fan.

Heat management is a huge issue for data centers and other places that have a lot of computers. At my first job, we had a lab with about 500 PCs in it, and when one of the air conditioners failed one day, the temperature went up about a degree per minute until the backup kicked on.

Used to work at a LCS + repair shop, one year our furnace went out and we didn't notice until mid December.

Hi thread.

I’m starting a new job in a week. I currently work for an org with about 5000 employees worldwide and am moving to one with 50000 worldwide. I’m nervous and have no idea what to expect from a company that big.

Any advice for my first day/week?

Some of it depends on what your on-call responsibilities actually are too. My current team is technically on call but since we’re the infrastructure automation team the only time that happens is if there is an application outage and a platform outage at the same time.

I'll do a "Hi, when you have time I'd like to talk about $thing"


I also don't get worked up about people just saying hi. I'll say hi back and ask them how they are doing and force them into awkward small talk until I am satisfied that they have learned their lesson

That got me thinking you could probably get a high enough hit rate just sending invoices to accounts payable willy nilly but then I realized that’s probably a form of fraud as old as paper

Yeah. I remember back in the early 00's the place I worked would get those on their fax machine 2-3 times a week.

We've moved past LucidCharts and on to Miro now. Both are pretty good though.

In practice it hasn’t worked out that way. It helps to be west coast based with most stakeholders to the east. Sometimes I have a late meeting and that sucks, but it’s rare.

This is how I manage it. I'm on the west coast and hq is in cst, so I just work cst hours.
