Rolling onto a client that uses “O11y” for observability almost gave me permanent damage.

Oh. Oh shit it hurts that reading this made me self-aware of this behavior. It’s one thing to be in this mindset and not be aware of it and it’s another to have it written out in front of you. 🤢

Okay, not entirely educated on female menstruation person here.

Does the period cycle change or is it consistent over time? Like is it about tracking a woman’s pattern and if there’s a change… that’s the flag?

Damn you’re unionized IT? Where are you general located?

Now but what about the possibility that we are only noticing the bad ones and not the convincing ones?

To be fair, it’s probably more about the IT contractors and consulting firms that didn’t implement security policies or configurations correctly on the S3 buckets for the governments they’re working for. The AWS products aren’t opening up things to the public internet without auth. Which I bet most of you knew.

Example: Accenture left a trove of highly sensitive data on public servers (2017)

Ya know, that sounds super obvious but no that wasn’t a fact that I consciously knew. Great point! That is definitely not taught to us…Thank you for teaching me that! It does kind of change my perspective, too…

Am Texan. While it’s a fun little thing to kind of be proud of - that Texas was its own country before joining the United States - we stopped being a country for a reason. And today we are 100% less capable of independence from the United States compared to then.

We are taught “We can opt out of the United States whenever we want to. Other states can’t because they weren’t their own countries beforehand.” as a fun fact in 7th grade (Texas History) and no one seems to clarify that we can’t to the students or later in life when they’re grown ass adults. But by then, most refuse to believe it… like they do with most inconvenient facts.

sigh.

Even with removing the Christian aspect from this, it’s pretty heavy and a strong point.

I wonder what their plan is to retell the story in 8-12 years from now when people who were effectively left behind on purpose are of voting age.

This is so well written. She communicated what happened and that how it was done was shitty, her eagerness for something new and willingness to stretch into other areas without sounding wow-is-me accidentally, and professionally @‘d people to call them out. 10/10

What are you talking about? I work in cloud and fiber infrastructure - the major players pay for fiber connections and close proximity to their customers.

ISPs have an obligation to their customers to provide a service at the speed their customer is paying for - regardless of what is coming down the pipe.

It’s so insane to think of this being an office perk. Just there for you to use… My office has a kitchen…
