Technet and Stack are basically the same. Try everything anyone suggested at any point in the thread and there is a nonzero chance it will work. Spiceworks is the home of absolutely nonsense garbage from SMB know nothings who are faking their way through being employed on the absolute saddest edge of the industry.

You don’t even have to fully nationalize to make it work. Just subsidize the heck out of internet access and make sure the strings attached are consumer friendly. It’s baffling there isn’t a bigger push to do that at a minimum, but American politics avoids making things public goods for all the reasons people posted above plus a really ill informed electorate. Privatization of vital infrastructure and services is bad in most cases, but a lot of people will call nationalizing them socialism while ignoring they’re a really basic part of our social contract.

I think confusing a nuanced understanding of how things are with peoples ideas for how things could be better and then also telling a bunch of extremely knowledgeable people they don’t know anything about a pretty easily understood topic they interact with constantly is weirdly aggressive yes

Agreed - there would need to be some kind of framework and enforceability along with any public/private joint ventures. So whatever form the hypothetical solution would take wouldn’t be something that’s been done or exists in the US to my knowledge

The Iron Rose posted:this is a great question that I will be stealing in... two hours or so In the same vein, I ask them how applications work. Explain API's to me. Tell me in your words the value prop of cloud platforms. Explain how the internet works is a good one. The best interviews turn into a back-and-forth on these topics. You can get a feel for someone's attitude towards ambiguity in the way they either just dive in or seek to pare down the topic. The best of the best are where the interviewee teaches me something I didn't know. Honestly you can weed people who don't know what they're talking about out fast with the generalized questions. I prioritize people who are smart and understand IT conceptually over people who have specific knowledge though, not sure everyone is looking for that necessarily.

If you’re mega huge there is a good chance you’re multi cloud already. And if you’re big enough it’s easy to get leverage on pricing between the cloud providers right now, which means you can be incentivized to stay rather than move cause it’s easier that way. I was talking to a company called Morpheus at a DevOps conference a few years ago and they were/are making a product that would allow for ‘seamlessly’ moving workloads around. But there was also a TON of onboarding they needed to do to get it to work. The idea was to use their product instead of interacting directly with cloud providers so you could easily move workloads based on price/availability/etc.. Seems interesting and like a good idea in the abstract but I could see what MS/Amazon/Google might not want that to be happening easily. It’s taking the service aspect of the cloud platforms and commodifying the entire idea even further.

It’s not taboo to admit that scripting sometimes takes longer than solving the issue by hand - you become a dipshit when you have to do that thing more than once or on tons of machines and rely on your mouse instead of scripting it. I’d argue PowerShell is no more code than any IAC or YAML is, I certainly can’t develop my way out of a paper bag but those things are all just performing actions for me using the three-tiers-of-abstraction-away-from-real-code instructions I can feed various systems to make my life easier. No idea if this will help but when I was sysadminning Windows servers I stopped using the GUI entirely unless a service forced it on me. Helped me understand I was just replacing mouse clicks with commands in PS. Also ARM is for loving assholes imo and Bicep is a sick joke. I don’t know how much longer people will be hiring folks who can’t speak to PS/automation of some kind. But I do know 90% of the people who claim they know PS/automation either know Jack poo poo about it or rarely use it for anything so I wouldn’t worry too much just make sure you keep putting it on a resume.

PowerShell more like PowerSmell amirite? It’s actually amazing for Windows, and if your beef is with Windows then yes PS sucks because so does Windows. If you work in Windows all the time and you think it’s no good I have some bad news for you.

I debated whether my reading was too harsh. But no - if you’re a manager at a baseline you should be managing the schedule appropriately and making sure you’re doing your best to account for contingencies. Trying to shift the blame onto the employee for shrugging off testing doesn’t fly, your job is to account for that kind of thing and do your best to mitigate the risk. And then to loving act like that to your report on a day off, god drat.
