I’m with @LLAMS:

”Because we are so small, we work in silos” is one of the weirdest statements I’ve seen in a while.

Also, a red flag tbh.

@TestInProd423 my issue is twofold: the UX is not good, and inconsistent at least, and it just doesn’t work well on non-Windows devices, if at all.

The idea as a one stop shop communication platform is great, the execution is lacking.

I don’t get it. IAM policies are so easy to use (unless you’re harderning CDK defaults, then it can be a pain in the arse, admittedly). What’s so confusing about them?

Come to think of it, the few times I’ve struggled with convoluted IAM policies, they were a sign that something else was wrong in how the system was designed…

…
The sec eng inside me goes ”bet there’s at least one that could be exploited…”

No need to invent one, since I know at least one company where Teams is not used. Come join us on the dark side, we don’t do Teams.

@Demolishun sometimes I think JS devs are from the smarter end of the spectrum…

… but only sometimes.

@Sid2006 obviously not everyone, but a relatively large portion, at least during the last few years. There’s some real smart people here, but the general populus seems to be so full of brain farts it makes me wanna nuke humanity on a normal day. On a bad day, it just makes me feel better.

@tjewlius in what world are unpaid positions a thing? FOSS aside, in what fucked up world do you not get paid for work?

Well then, go find a job. Should be plenty around.

*takes a look at what weather was like in Belgrade yesterday*

Verdict: pretty nice summer weather. Grow a pair.

Judging from this, it works much better on MacOS 👀

@b2plane so that means you don’t even have any gay friends? You’re really missing out…

@b2plane well, I am offended in behalf of all the gays. There’s a lot of words in the world that are wrongly used as pejoratives, but using ”gay” as such really stucks a nerve with me (despite not being gay myself), and I just dearly wish that would just go away. It always saddens me when I see it.

@bigmonsterlover I’m going to downwote this and any other posts using words such as ”gay” as pejoratives as offensive/spam. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@hjk101 exactly. :D

@hjk101 there are a few pocs out there (one of them very recent) to hack into keepass data, but obvs they require access to either a memory dump or the kdbx file

It already has security issues in framework dependencies. But the buggers who decide to stick to some legacy shit probably don’t really either care or understand anything about security 🤷🏻‍♂️

@electrineer if I had room in my monthly expenses (as in something I could drop) for a smaller pay and/or my spouse had better job security to be able to support me like I’ve supported them for years, then your suggestion could be a viable option to consider. As it stands, however, it’s a no-go.

@electrineer ummm, no?

I actually like my current job. Besides, my current pay barely affords me to keep paying up the loans I took in my stupid youth, and just taking on the research assistant job would mean a major drop in mah earnings. So no, that is not an option.

I applied for the job halfway through my BBA of Business IT studies, received a coding challenge, which I postponed for weeks due to sickness, half-assed the assignment, googled what the tech mentioned in the job ad were omw to the interview, and got the job. Prior to my starting my studies I had zero background in sw dev, and in fact had done an extensive career in a completely separate field in events management and physical security services.

3300€/mo (before taxes) - and yes, that’s seriously underpaid for my position (de facto principal security engineer) in Finland. Like seriously in a scale that it should, to my understanding, be about doubled.

Should be temporary situation, though, as me switching roles happened more or less ex tempore and we haven’t had the time yet to have a 1-on-1 with boss person to get this amended. Should be this month, tho. Fingers crossed I get a significant raise.

I tried to push for that once, not too long ago… the team wasn’t overly enthusiastic about it. What refactoring has been done since, out of neccessity, has been done test forward, though, so even a small win is a win.

@hjk101 have you tried either of them?

@We3D maybe that’s because comparing a language and a runtime environment is like comparing apples and turnips?

@helloworld nah. I used Android for most of the smartphone era and switched to iPhone a few years back out of curiosity if phones could suck at least a bit less. Yes they can.

I’m not an Apple fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, and there’s loads about Apple as a company I don’t like, at all, but damn life’s much easier using their products. It’s the same with AWS. I may not be a fan of Amazon as a company, but I prefer a CSP making my life as a security engineer (and cloud engineer and sysadmin before that) easier, not harder.

Online video tutorials on programming are a waste of time. Thee most inefficient learning method and usually the presenters are annoying as fuck, too.

Amplify’s docs are so half-assed it grinds my gears. AWS docs are in general… well, I’ve seen better, I’ve seen worse, but sometimes the only documentation of something is a random blog post or a Re:Invent talk somewhere and that’s it.

@darkwind when it comes to AWS, why TF if you can AWS CDK? That is actually a joy to work with (although better documentation wouldn’t hurt, even though they are pretty good by AWS standards). Terraform does become beneficial the moment you don’t vendor lock yourself in, though. But their CDK is pretty much a carbon copy of AWS’, afaik.

@Lensflare that would be a pretty effective team by my calculations, considering an hour of work is valued at 175-250€ here when sold as a service…

@cuddlyogre huh, interesting. If what is a simple task in ”every other OS ever” is a multi step dance in MacOS, then maybe you’re just trying to use it as if it were, say, Windows?

I use Mac for work, since we are provided that, and funny enough, those of us that have had both Macs and Windows machines provided agree that working on Macs boosts productivity. I think most of us would prefer Linux any day, but that’s another story. Either way, at least I prefer to use the command line, and that’s smooth sailing. I’ve been using Macs for work for the last five years, and I’ve got zero complaints. So idk. Give me a free choice, I go for Linux. Give me a choice between Mac and Windows, I go for Mac 99.9% of the time.

I would go as far as to turn your statement around: what is a simple task in ”every *nix OS ever (yes, MacOS included)” is a multi step dance in Windows, in my experience.
