I really want to apply at magic.dev, but I'm not sure it's the right career move right now.
The work is way more interesting than what I'm doing. -

44 years after Unix, Windows gets sudo. I'm proud of the little guy. He's starting to grow up!22 -
Writing a new tool, and it's looking pretty slick so far.
This is much better than meetings upon meetings. Maybe I should ask for a demotion so I can be writing code more often?6 -
Team is growing from 5 to 19 heads. Hopefully the work load per person goes down after they're up and running.
Anyone had this happen to them? Any dynamics to watch out for?7 -
Mandatory 2h interview training at 11pm... Gross. Having a hiring blitz to triple our team size is not gross.
I'm conflicted, but mostly tired.1 -
A coworker just died. He wasn't even 50.
Everyone make sure you're keeping your stress in check, and prioritizing your health. Go get that thing checked out you've been putting off.
This career is lucrative but it has its toll. Make sure you're taking time away.30 -
Lots of people seem to be racing to the bottom here. Let's settle this once and for all... Who's the worst devrant member?
Tag them all here! We'll tally up the winner with the most tags! Feel free to vote as many times as you want. -
My CTO told the COO and CEO i'd be finished SOC2 compliance by the end of December... On December 14th.
It takes 3 months to do the audit, let alone all the actual work. I hadn't even started yet.
He was fired shortly after that.6 -
Manager: "If you need me, just @ me"
Me: "Can you look at this right now?"
Manager: "Sorry I'm at a tennis match, I'll be 30mins"
3 hours later
Manager: "Do you still need me?"
...
Me: "A device died. Playbook says we have to flash it and lose all data on it, but we could go to the vendor for a solution if their fast enough. I just need you to make the call to deviate"
Manager: "Uggghhh" (goes offline for 2 hours)
Wtf man?!11 -
Cars broken into two nights ago. They hit the entire street and are caught on camera. I know who they are now.
The right thing to do is to go to the cops, but part of me wants to use them as grappling dummies.53 -
I bought Minecraft back in 2007 or 8. It was $20 and gave me access to Minecraft forever, all updates included.
Today Microsoft closed all the old mojang accounts and I no longer have access to Minecraft. I could have migrated to a Microsoft account, but it will be a cold day in hell if I ever open one of those.
Sounds like law suit material. Class action anyone?13 -
Just tech screened a kid for a senior Network automation role, in a specific niche.
He's never automated anything before. Didn't know networking basics, didn't know about the niche...
This guy hasn't heard of unit testing or UDP... good luck out there kid. You've got balls anyway.14 -
There's a few people in here who are clearly mentally ill and using devrant instead of getting help.
I just want to say thank you to those individuals for making this place what it is! This place would suck without you.13 -
I'm pretty sure every company is filled with parasites who suck the life out of the 3 top people who keep everything working.
Maybe when we see a tech company enshitify, it's because those 3 people burned out and moved on.4 -
What's everyone's plan for after the AI takeover?
I'm thinking machining. Unless they took up AI to CNC...11 -

I bought a bidet at the start of the summer and I'm a convert.
I've been on vacation for over a week, and my brown star is raw and inflamed from wiping. I must have lost my callous...1 -

I rented a cabin and I have a bathroom issue...
What's with these tall toilets?! I'm on my tippy toes here! How is this supposed to be better?
Also I miss my bidet. I'm as raw as Monday nights.10 -
Just got an email that Datree is closing shop. That's too bad, I considered it a mandatory production k8s tool.
I guess I'll have to whip up some Frankenstein replacement with Open Policy Agent... -
Writing automation tools using SSH feels so backwards... Thank God for paramiko and click!
Also GPT4 is a better documentation than Paramiko's. Especially for edge cases!1 -

Got my purple belt in BJJ. it took 9 years, but what I lacked in skill I more than made up for in stubbornness.
To pig headedness!5 -
I'm on call, and someone was performing scheduled gateway work at 3am, and forgot to set alert silences...
At least I got to have a nice morning to myself. And a lightning storm to boot! -
I missed 25 on call alerts over night.
Me and my wife did not budge. Look at me call history and I cleared my voicemail at 4am... No recollection of that at all.
Oh well!5
