I've never had Slack do that, only people who don't know how to use threads. Seems to be the same people who reply with 3 words at a time and 10 messages to say what they wanted to say.

One of my hills is automated cert lifecycle and I have put a bunch of effort into it at my current org to make the experience better, but we still get app teams that just completely drop the ball.

Just in time for me to cry about my home project that involves trying to automate LE cert deployment for my ldap auth

Jesus why is this so hard?

I did LE certs for ADFS at my last job

I think for ldap auth you might be better off with a mini-pki though

Don't forget the ever-popular "dialing a wrong number that's entirely broken and doesn't work on any phone". Every other thing about the phones is working fine, but calling one number doesn't work and it's "phones are down"

this was extra fun when I was managing a phone system because I live in a state where we only have one area code

for a long time if the number is long distance, the area code is required, but if the number was local, you couldn't use the area code

people would have all kinds of problems with this because cell phones helpfully connected the call regardless, so the tickets were often "can't call number from desk phone, works on cell phone, phone system sucks"

I spent a whole lot of time building a translation table with local prefixes in it so people could dial out without this issue

last year the phone companies got together and decided everyone needed the area code all the time

Here's to hoping there isn't a follow up to this later tonight.

We ended up building and deploying an entirely new code signing workflow yesterday, and today is being spent making sure the various app teams are able to change their processes to match.

What is clear and obvious to you is not always clear and obvious to someone else.


I used to have a word template that had all the intro stuff on it including their username and password and used mail merge to populate the fields from a csv. That would get included in their onboarding packet by their manager.
