I got pulled into a team to do AWS Architecting and then my title magically changed to Software Engineer and now I'm expected to dev stuff (and do AWS stuff). Hilarity Ensues?

Volmarias posted:How quaint, you build your code on your desktop. We had a dev who did a whole branch of work(a couple months) on an instance store AWS EC2 instance. We added Janitor Monkey to that environment, leashed at first, and he ignored the e-mails so the instance got cleaned up and about a quarter of work for one of our services was gone.

I think in PureCloud the emoji's all came from somewhere else but they left the middle finger one :fu: in which is great. We've been campaigning to get more added but the requests fall on deaf ears.

Praise be. A PM tried to schedule a 6 hour chartering meeting with the infrastructure team. Our boss said no this Isn't right and the PM was like I don't care. Boss sent out 4 hour random meeting blocks throughout the team for 'solo focus' that made the meeting unable to be scheduled for the next month or so.

KoRMaK posted:You also have to have the drive to want to hack through that, which I don't think everyone possess. This is me right now as I pick up more dev responsibilities. It helps if you don't have a toxic work place where you can ask more advanced devs questions AS LONG AS you are presenting your research and what you tried along with it.

I've always heard ~warnings~ about not working on personal projects or open source on your work laptop because they might claim it. Anyone ever had that bite them in the rear end? I've worked on any huge projects of my own yet but I've always heard this caution.

Pollyanna posted:My family keeps worrying that I wouldn't get a chance to socialize if I wasn't at an office, but offices aren't a great place to socialize anyway, so not much lost on that end IMO. I always take my family advice about anything job related at arm's length because they think I'm some sort of computer wizard who works for the NSA or CIA but just can't tell them. Computers are scary! Working remote is a big switch for sure. I made sure to have my work office at my house in a room that has natural daylight. I worked for about 6 months in my basement and that was not a good situation for me. If you develop good "work friends" I suggest you maybe start up a chat application outside of the company scope where you can shoot the poo poo and do other normal social things you'd do in public or over beers. We use hangouts for our bitching and dicking around chat outside of the company sphere of influence. On Friday our remote group tries to do a beer:thirty where we all get on hangouts and have virtual beers.

Clanpot Shake posted:It's okay, it is the cloud. Since you said this is your first prod deploy here are some things to think about : Is your Ops guy going to be on the call with you during the work window if it goes sideways? It'd be good to get your infra/ops side of the house involved if you can. Do you have a backup DB up and running that you can fail back to and keep your outage window smaller so you don't gently caress up your SLA and have a smaller mean time to repair if it does go pear shaped? Double check your commands you have pre-typed out for the change you copied from your test run (you do have them all prepped right?) for typos and duplicates. You don't want to be like the AWS S3 guy who had a typo and took down half the internet. Have your form of drug/booze nearby for when it's complete so you can celebrate accordingly.

Hughlander posted:Just wait until there's a critical mass of mac users and they roll out JAMF. We just had this fight internally after our company got bought. We were free range Mac users with general safety guidelines and a not so intrusive corporate image that worked well for everyone. When we got bought things got very big business standard with corporate bloatware and things that ticks someone box on a spreadsheet. We actually won the fight to control our own Macs through our Security team recommendations since we're still considered a separate business unit. We had a day a few months ago where everyone re-imaged their laptop to remove the corp image and go back to the base Mac release with encryption and a couple small tools on them. Trusting your users is a big deal in a corporate environment and I'm glad our devs could put the anime away for a few minutes to look and act like adults about this issue.

Portland Sucks posted:I'm going to be conducting the interviews for our next round of interns. Am I a bad person for not knowing our company values off the top of my head? We just make aluminum and aluminum accessories. I had to write a note at the top of my interview questions that said "THEY ARE JUST INTERNS" because I made one cry when they didn't know an answer and I pushed to get some advanced thinking out of them after they gave me their basic reasoning on how they'd do it and they freaked out. I'm sure it was some me, some them but it reminded me of the perspecctive between kids in college interviewing and business "professionals".

Honestly when we hire new associate devs we figure it’ll take 6 months before they are fully productive. Your first or second business environment is way different than anything you learned and that’s your free pass time to ask questions and develop your actual business skills. There is a reason your title says jr or associate!

Ape Fist posted:Senior management is fully aware of the absolute dogshit that offshoring has brought about. We're months behind on a major project for a Government client and it's largely in part due to our Indian office literally sitting on their hands and doing loving nothing. I have 3 outstanding issues in my user-stories right now that require back-end fixes for bugs I was assigned like 2 weeks ago. I had to go to my project Manager on Friday and sit down with him and explain why poo poo has been sitting in my VSTS list for loving ages and it looks like I'm not loving doing anything. This is only going to get loving worse. But can India devs work on gov projects? I thought that was a no-no.

I think I might be a Technical Product Manager, Cloud Infrastructure soon and I’m not sure if I should be pissed or happy. I’d be the first titled TPM in a company of 6000. I’ve been doing what appears to be the job roles with a Dev title but I was just trying to not let our group flounder. I haven’t legit coded for 9 months because of this monster cloud project during an acquisition integration into a larger company soooooo (Word spaghetti title ahoyyyyyy)

My title is Senior Software Engineer because of my dept but I’d never interview under that title for many reasons least of them being I’m not that good of a Dev. I should be an Infrastructure engineer but noooooo you can’t have that title because reasons. Interviewing under a dev title is a terrifying prospect for me since I’m mostly a python/go scripter with an occasional small app, api or webpage and spend most of my day automating and debugging AWS stuff.
