The entire sys admin column is so on point!

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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.

A fellow sysadmin, I thought we went extinct. I had to pivot to “infrastructure engineer” but it’s basically the same thing nowadays.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not quite extinct, but endangered.

Thankfully there's been a recent trend of companies pulling back out of the cloud because reality set in and they're neither saving money nor getting a better experience than they had with their on-prem solutions.

So, if that trend holds, we'll hopefully go from endangered to merely threatened.

Keep up the good fight my friend. We shall rise again.

[–] far_university1990@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago

Rise again you shall, from the ash of the burning sky.

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.

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

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months 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.

[–] jadedwench@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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?

[–] ChojinDSL@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As a seasoned sysadmin, I approve.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I feel like this one really deserves to be in there

[–] nzeayn@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] twofont@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Hey, that's completely unfair!

It's only 10 years old.

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

[–] ed_cock@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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.

[–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 0 points 8 months 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!

[–] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

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

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 8 months 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.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

Sounds oddly familiar. Cloud ops at an msp BTW
