Thank you! I squinted so hard. ๐Ÿ˜–

The designers as seen by designers is so right.

Nothing they come up with can be wrong, it's all innovative!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The entire sys admin column is so on point!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a sysadmin, I concur. Though the Neo panel in the bottom right should have also been another middle finger. If not that, then the Curb Your Enthusiasm meme where he's like "Fuck you, and I'll see you tomorrow" lol.

As a developer, I see sysadmins/devops as black magic masochists

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I choose to take that as a compliment (if it wasn't). lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a seasoned sysadmin, I approve.

The great promise of the cloud was to outsource sysadmins to be Microsoft and Amazon's problem.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They said that about computers going to make books disappear forty years agoโ€ฆ They never printed so many books that attempted to explain how those damn computers worked!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At the cost of getting new sysadmins who are less numerous, but ask for more money, and best of all, you get to pay Microsoft and Amazon to train them!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not only that, but it's no longer your problem when its in the cloud. You can blame the cloud for everything!

"Yeah we're familiar with this ~~issue~~ design, and have opened 17 support requests and upvoted 5 user voice posts to Microsoft about it. But hey we have this workaround that is not maintainable that you can use meanwhile"

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That absolutely was a huge part of the marketing pitch, but as one who supports his company's cloud infrastructure...

Lol. Rofl. Lmao even.

Maybe that works for places that don't have heavy tech needs. Maybe.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds oddly familiar. Cloud ops at an msp BTW

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's almost like marketing makes it sound like it's a fully-managed, worry-free service where users can just call up Bill Gates himself instead of hundreds of management portals someone has to babysit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As a developer, the baby is how I see developers, too.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I feel like this one really deserves to be in there

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this is how i see other sysadmins when they explain their 30yr old bash script that does everything.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hey, that's completely unfair!

It's only 10 years old.

So I had finger dude twice when I made this, but I edited it in just for you

You know, you can just google a term you don't know instead of acting confused. Just saying.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't know what people mean with

Just saying.

How do you define "Linux Stan"? I know the music video "Stan", by Enimem, but that's it.

The lone wolf dev who hasnt been seen for 3 months explaining how the new microservices he created all integrate together

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I sense a theme, when it comes to the sysadmins.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Having been a sysadmin you would be surprised at both the amount of times I had to explain why we couldn't just put an unprotected endpoint outside the firewall and also how much alcohol I drank to cope with the former.

It is like being builder to architects that think you can have a second story just floating in midair. I am baffled by how ignorant of the basics of infrastructure many developers are.

Obviously I don't expect a website dev to know the details of like iptables configs for load balancing with failover or whatever. Or even be terribly familiar with how to set up a production web server. I do expect people to know stuff like every computer on the internet is under constant attack from scripts. Or that taking advantage of peoples' trust and leaking their data is bad actually.

What are the odds of that working? You think I'd leave myself open to a simple brute force collision attack?

Also all sysadmins share a hive mind.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only people I ever have a problem with are Project Managers. I have had way more bad experiences with utterly psychotic PMs than PMs who are actually good at their job. Everybody else is super cool, but I swear all of you are alcoholics. At least Sales pays for the drinks?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A good PM is rare because as soon as you get one, they'll get poached within a few months.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Or burned out because they get pulled into every project that's gone off the rails.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yup, before I went into tech I worked at an architecture firm and we had this one absolutely amazing PM from Australia who was smart, a clear communicator, and so much more on top of his shit then any other PM, and he burnt out and quit and moved back to Australia after like 2 years because they just kept throwing him into the absolute biggest messes since he was clearly the best at cleaning them up.

He's also the one who I got drunk at an airport bar with and just repeatedly urged me to leave the company and go somewhere well run ... there were pretty clear signs he wasn't enjoying his assignments.

Your failure to provide a reliable source for your claims is not my problem.

If you cannot provide a reliable source of your claims, your claim will be dismissed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Gosh the QA column is depressingly accurate for shitty game companies.

The best thing to take away from this meme isn't "lol QA dumb" or "lol Designers eat paint" it's "fuck, what kind of toxic asshole legitimately feels this way about their coworkers" and yea, they exist - I've met them. Don't be one of those assholes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As someone who has been working in IT for 20+ years this is completely inaccurate except for the sys admin column.
