Gazpacho posted:lol if you as a hired employee give a poo poo about your company's "mission" or "values" even as a bottom-tier computer toucher "ship software that's good enough to make customer ops teams not hate us and really like how smart our support teams are" is a much better mission than "get customer money to make their websites and banner ads so the CEO can do coke in their Range Rover during a two hour lunch," hth

minivanmegafun posted:it's very much this. we also have a great rep and a great office and good compensation but we have a hell of a time finding senior SREs. at least once hired they stay put. in so many places devops/sre is a role you grow into at a company and not something you train for, and if you never make the "extinguishing prod fires of my own creation is devops" connection then you never think to look for an sre role

ADINSX posted:Not only does it own, but it naturally translates into a lot of the operations done in big data stacks (and obviously a lot have SQL bindings or straight up use SQL as their interface ala BigQuery). So if you know SQL but are tired of doing OLTP or whatever you can make the switch to a big data job fairly easily. yeah I finagled my way on to the riak time series project and ended up doing a lot of the sql parser work, and that's why I have a 1400 page PDF of sql syntax specs still lying around

TerminalRaptor posted:One of the more interesting things I've learned in the past few years is the larger international flight planes actually have sleeping bunks for the flight attendants. I didn't think there was enough room on a plane for such a thing. they're jammed in above the fore galley/lavs usually, where there's space that's being used for overhead bins in the rest of the fuselage

PCjr sidecar posted:making GBS threads on airplanes is great you get to take your pants off at 35000 ft, its like science fiction sometimes you make the flight a lot worse by making GBS threads quote:According to French and German prosecutors, the crash was deliberately caused by the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz. Brice Robin said Lubitz was initially courteous to Captain Sondenheimer during the first part of the flight, then became "curt" when the captain began the mid-flight briefing on the planned landing. Robin said when the captain returned from a probable toilet break and tried to enter the cockpit, Lubitz had locked the door. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525#Cause_of_crash
