I work in a legacy industry and my Docker exposure is crap, so... is there a joke buried in there, or is there some good reason why you need to build and deploy containers within Docker instead of without?

It's nice to hear other people saying that stuff. Every time we push back at someone's demand for a 16 vcpu 128gb RAM VM around here, I get a lot of whining that boils down to, "but Mom would give us a VM that size!" Then we put them on a 2x16, evaluate usage, add 8 more gigs of RAM, and find that it runs fine and the requirements were entirely fictional anyway.

This is a tangled web because harsh penalties or huge bonds push business toward a few large firms that can afford them. That in turn creates a situation where you only have a couple megacontractors. Those large contractors can afford to eat small penalties, and nobody has the will to impose large ones, because you might put one of your 2-3 megacontractors out of business, and then you've just made the oligopoly worse. Off the top of my head, the solution that suggests itself is to add a third party responsible for auditing progress and ensuring the success of the contract. They'd need to be well capitalized and to understand the subject matter, but they wouldn't be involved in actual service delivery. They'd rate the proposals and the bidders themselves and provide quotes for insuring the success of each bid. Those insurance costs could then be added to the actual bid costs to come up with a final price. Large companies with bad practices would still be in the running so long as they could afford insurance rates, but smaller and/or newer players could compete fairly for business provided they could demonstrate competence to the insurers. I have no idea how you could get that off the ground, though.

It's not clear to me that Renegret meant "goddamned CEO" literally, and if not, that puts a rather different construction on things. Depending on the size of the company, it doesn't always make sense for senior leadership to have the same process as everyone else. If I was running a multinational, I'd set up a frickin' IT concierge service for the C-level executives. Partially that's because their time is insanely valuable and I wouldn't want them waiting on hold, and partially because anyone touching their IT assets needs to know that their daily activities create documents with special legal status. Having them run into some IT intern who decides to wipe and reimage their laptop could be... bad. Having a C-level decide that IT isn't responsive enough and they need their own shadow IT would be infinitely worse.

Back when I was at Umich, they not only had lavish vacation, but a very simple rule for accumulation: if you had more than 18 months' vacation accumulated (and I think we were at 2 days PTO per month, so that's 36 days of PTO) you stopped accumulating it. So there was no arbitrary "everyone use up their PTO by 12/31" nonsense, but individuals who didn't take PTO eventually lost it. That seemed like a sufficiently fair protection for the University's financial concerns. When I was a manager at my current gig, which has use it or lose it PTO that includes sick time, everyone naturally went in to December with at least a week of PTO left. After all, you don't want to risk getting sick at the end of the year and having to take unpaid leave. I ended up instituting a tiered vacation system for my team. Tier 1 meant you were well and truly gone. Tier 2 meant you had no responsibilities except to stay in pager range and be able to return to work in 2 hours if I paged you. That got me the leeway to put up to 1/3 of my people on tier 1 vacation and another 1/3 on tier 2, with only the remaining third in the office. My management didn't love having 2/3 of the staff out, but since I could go from 1/3 working to 2/3 working in 2 hours if we had a major incident, they allowed it. Which is still just a good workaround for a dumb policy.

A ticket came in: we started running a database workload that does nothing but full table scans all through the day and all through the night, and now the database is slow. Can you put us on different hardware that will make it fast? No; or rather, I can, but you can't afford it. Perhaps you might, you know, not do that so much, using indexes or some other crazy database magic.

nexxai posted:Is this person/team at least using a read replica for whatever they're doing, so that they don't slow it down for everyone else? I'm having lamentable difficulty even finding out exactly what they're doing. Thankfully it's in our non-production environment, so it's not impacting production. There are multiple instances of it, too, and I'm concerned that in a few places it may actually be swamping the aged FC infrastructure for those machines. If it was in production, at least we'd have tools that I could use to analyze the queries and tell them to stop their nonsense in a more authoritative way.

If my vacation is a big deal, I'm not bringing work with me. Actually, I can't recall ever bringing my work laptop with me on a non-work trip, but it's easier to imagine doing so if the trip is just a couple hours from home and there's minimal hassle involved.

I did suggest reimaging, but a VP told me, "absolutely not an option." Technically, we don't have the resources what with most of the competent support folks manning the Cloud Prom in SF this week, so he's not entirely wrong. I just wish he'd stop telling me no every time I suggest reimaging for poo poo that obviously would be easier to deal with by reimaging.

I've been full-time WFH since 2003, and I love it, but I wouldn't want to start a brand new job in a brand new firm without there being an office I could go into. I think my current gig has worked as well as it has because I've always worked at least 50% of the time with people I've had established relationships with. In a brand new situation, I'd want at least a couple weeks of face-to-face interaction to build on before I started doing everything remote. Maybe in a better company, I could rely on written procedures and practices rather than relationships, but probably not.

u brexit ukip it posted:I would prefer this over my situation where it has taken IT about three months to raise 5 VMs in Azure. This is why I laugh at people in my org who think that moving to the cloud would make us more nimble. Sure, our process for getting new VMs from our on-prem setup could be better. Sure, when you go to the cloud, it's instant gratification. For us, that would last until the first bill came due. Then it would be "any increase in cloud resources requires approval from the director of cloud cost control" and a whole new sucky request process. If you don't have employees you can trust to be sensible, and a willingness to delegate authority to them, then changing infrastructure cannot save you.

devmd01 posted:That’s my favorite interview question: “tell me about a time you caused an outage, the impact to the business, the recovery process, and what you learned from it?” Had to think for a minute but I remember the one time I had been using the Solaris modular debugger on the kernel of a production mission-critical DB server to get performance data so I could troubleshoot a problem. I left the window open, thinking I'd close it once I was sure the problem was solved. At the end of the day, when I wanted to shut down, I went and typed "exit" into every open window, disconnected my screen session, and logged out. The next morning I re-opened screen and saw that my mdb session was still open. Oh, right, exit isn't how you exit mdb on Solaris. Control-d is how you do that. I pressed control-d. What I found out later is that exit means nothing to mdb in and of itself, but it was in the command buffer when I hit control-d, so the mdb just passed that along to the kernel. Which is how I killed the kernel of a production mission-critical Oracle database first thing in the morning. From then on, I only ever touched mdb by using echo "exactly what I want, and yes, I checked twice" | mdb -k.

I love automation. When I was setting up our first Puppet POC, I worked a couple weekends on it for free, because I was into it and couldn't let it go. Other exotic problems, maybe interesting. Your server is slow because your SQL is badly written and had a cost of about a million on a four core guest? I can barely get the bat off my shoulder.

Oh, to be that young. In teaching Puppet stuff to other members of my org, I have shown them how to do things in VS Code, which has nice Puppet integrations, but I find that I'm just more fluent with vim, and also that things seem to go a lot faster without the VS Code layer between me, my files, and git.

One of my hats is infrastructure architect, with a particular focus on UNIX/Linux. If someone's doing a new project on our predominantly on-prem world that requires something more than a garden-variety VM deployment, and it's going to run Linux, they almost always come to me. There's another architect with a stronger Windows background who gets those requests. Except that he apparently decided to go around me for a Linux project because he was in a hurry, and now he's shocked, simply shocked, to discover that the standard Dell PCI RAID controller cannot create a RAID5 array out of NVMe drives. I have not yet found ways to ask "why did you think that was possible" and "why did you think that would be a good idea" that passed the rear end in a top hat test. I have to confess that I'm not trying real hard to pass said test because I do, in fact, think the guy is an rear end in a top hat.
