Probably all EU/article 13/article 17 related

Is there a way to filter out all of this article 13 stuff? I feel your pain, but come on! There are an excessive number of posts about it

So here I am at the chiropractor waiting and this family of 5 come in. One of the kids is barefoot and wearing a leotard, and the others just run around causing mayhem as children often do (I'm a father of 3 so I get it). None of that bothers me.

What bothers me is that they brought their puppy (,on a leash) as and a small bowl with food and water.

Wtf, this isnt a vet!

Cute dog though

Trying zsh/ohmyzsh for the first time. I like it.

At the datacenter jamming out to music while installing hypervisor servers.

Yes.

Has anyone had an actual career (something you could support yourself/family on for the span of your life) before development? Curious as to how people got into development.

An example is I have a colleague who was some sort of construction supervisor and managed to get into development someone.

I love staying late to patch PHP systems. It's even better when our ecommerce website written in Perl has an issue with cart checkouts and customers are complaining

Saw this from a friend of a friend of a friend and made my own meme.

2 unit tests 0 integration tests. Hacky code to fix it.

I can't say how a CS degree helped me since I dropped out, but in all of my tech related jobs we turn down candidates with a CS degree left and right. Turns out showing up for class and managing to pass doesnt give you real world experience, passion, or even knowledge. I used to be a floor factory worker and my team lead was a CS degree holder.

But hey, maybe the crippling debt and super unrelated classes were worth it.

Avoid wordpress development

I took 2 stickers and made 1.

A dev today tried to tell me that a full copy of a VM in XenServer copies all of the data but magically pulls old code. Long story short, he was wrong.

I updated my online profiles to reflect that I am a certified kubernetes administrator, and the calls from recruiters wont stop.

So I landed a senior linux admin job in August, moved to a new city, and signed a 2 year contract for them to pay my moving expenses. I took an employee survey in October, not knowing anything. As a department (all ops and devs), we reviewed the results as a whole with HR.

Now HR is coming to our remote office tomorrow (4 hours away).... to be continued...

It's been a while. I present you with devRant hockey

I am excited about all of the AI blockchain technology using IoT running in the cloud, as a service. It has all of the bells and whistles -- big data, hyper converged infrastructure, seamless integration, a sleek dashboard with everything in a single pane of glass. On top of all of that, it's future proof!

If you worked at/for devrant, and you wanted to rant about work, where would you rant at?

When you realize that devrant has a dark theme

I saw an ad today for "Wix Code". Yes, you can officially code your Wix page with their javascript framework.

Cue recruiters looking for candidates with "10 years of wix development"

So being in ops, I have certifications in networking and Linux, and am currently working on my Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam.

I've been talking to a few "professional" (they have jobs) devs that I personally know, and with the exception of 1, it seems like version control, automation, networking, and server related tasks are beyond them.

As I want to get into the dev side of things (devops preferably), I feel somewhat overwhelmed at some of the requirements of the job, especially knowing that I cannot take too much of a pay hit as I have a family to support.

My question is this, based on real world experiences with hiring, how much weight do you think knowing your way around networks, cloud, virtualization, servers, and all of the other things ops does when it comes to getting your foot in the door for a dev job?

I've casually looked around, and it seems that getting the foot in from this side is almost impossible.

Anyone else spend a good part of their morning routine trying to brush out their beard (or hair)?

Where was this when i was a wee penguin learning linux? https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

President of my employer: how long do you thing it will take to complete x type of migration?

Me: I don't know. We've never done one.

President: well how long do you think it will take based on your experience?

Me: I don't know. I've never done one.
