You tell me dude. Whatever they were doing did populate DNS logs, it just requires Route 53 within the account to do it. No idea why.

Dumbass security team ran some DNS scanning shit across our entire AWS infrastructure. Normally I would not care about this but they ran up ~$8k in our AWS account on Route 53 (Gay AWS Feature ) for the past 3 months. I am pretty dialed on on our services in AWS which run in total about $5k a...

Mermaid. It natively renders in Github which is a big plus, I recently upgraded our docs/erd flow using it because I can just have it in a source controlled code base rather than gay ass confluence and now I have it all automatically pushing to Confluence once merged to my docs repo. Works...

I hate boasting and I am shit at self advocacy in general. But to answer your question I am extremely proficient at all things backend engineering. Especially when it comes to distributed architecture and systems of systems that have no direct connection to each other. When it comes to data...

If you're letting AI do trades with your money on its own. You have gigantic steel balls. You are also a massive retard and there is no hope for you. Ride to Valhalla!

Had an interesting discussion with my director again today (this is my direct manager). @TomServo it looks like I may have quit the two job game, but it won't quit me. He wants to retain me as a contractor to deal with certain things now and again. I said I could only do this in a very limited...

Been putting them freezer hashbrowns in the air fryer. The square McD's style hashbrowns. You can get a box of them for like $5. So good. Highly recommend.

I get that. But it is nice to not have to accrue days and just do what you want. I absolutely fall into the trap of my work ethic leaving me to not take enough days off a year. I have broke free of that more recently and borderline abuse it now. But for years I was the guy who never took...

Yes, no job will tolerate you being gone for months at a time. But you can indeed try I guess. Don't be absurd with this literalist nonsense. No job has unlimited PTO where you can just absently collect your salary being gone all year. Everyone knows that. Unlimited is being unlimited on paper...

In my experience unlimited really is mostly unlimited. If you start taking like 6 weeks off during the year and you're also not crushing your actual work they will start getting on your case about it. Otherwise you can safely take 4 or maybe 5 weeks off during the year without issue. On top of...

The new job has "unlimited PTO" like my current one. Tech hires get unlimited on the first day unlike the pleb workers who require 5 years at the company to get it lol. My current place everyone got it. I don't think I ever really exploited it but I did take 3 weeks off throughout the year not...

I absolutely agree titles are meaningless. But they are market signals no matter what so having them is actually worth money. It just is what it is.

It went okay. My director called me a 10X engineer which surprised me I guess. I know it'll be hard to replace me so I feel for him there. But I asked what I could expect to happen in the next few years and my analysis was pretty much correct. Expansion is unlikely on the team but he thought I...

Going to talk to my manager today and see what happens. I am willing to stay, maybe. I am bad at self-advocacy in general. For the last promotion I got to staff engineer my old manager (who has since left the company and wasn't my manager at the time) had to goad me into asking for a promotion...

Sentenced is really grimdark fantasy. The penal heroes aside being sentenced to Dark Souls life where they never get the release of death until they totally lose their humanity like Tatsu is just one aspect of how grim it is. Humanity is being totally consumed by the Zerg like demons that...

Yeah, this is the absolute truth of Software Engineering. If you are any flavor of Software Engineer other than like art assets/model maker for games specifically then the you can work in just about every industry for more money and less stress. So the best developers all do that.

I can get with that. Makes me want to check it out a lot more. How is Shadow Knight?

Fighter is that fun? EQ Warrior was boring as most EQ melee classes were. I am considering Shadow Knight, Wizard, Bard. Please elaborate on fighter.

I don't see it like that. When you seek out a "coast" role you can sometimes just call it a "rest and vest" at least for tech positions. At some point you want to focus on your personal life and things that are not work related at all. If you've been crushing it in high growth companies for 10+...

Oh I was shitting on M Power not you.

Because your comments have a distinct singular focus and smell like faggotry. Which is all Folder ever provided this thread. @Quevy Its more or less being at an inflection point. The biggest mistake of my career was listening to my father and staying at General Motors longer than 3 years. I...

Also @M Power wtf is up with your complete paranoia about layoffs. Your posts are about nothing but job security and layoff bullshit. Are you Folder?

Dude, they went through 4 layoff rounds when I worked there and I missed EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE OF THEM. Those layoff packages were dope as fuck and I really wanted to get one.

This is kind of the thing. I have been the primary originator of all the work I have done here the past like 5 years. I think them up, plan them out, and just do them as I have de facto ownership and nobody contests me on it. Which is cool. The friction I have here now is that I can solve any...

The new place is logistics based and their growth has been due to effectiveness and increasing reputation so I don't see it going away or anything. Some Greenfield dev sounds a bit nice overall. It has been a little tiring to be in the exact same codebases for 7 years ya know?

I did the counteroffer thing at company A 5 years ago and I will try it again as the leadership involved in that has all moved on.

Okay boys. I got another job offer for a job I think I want. The offer is for a staff role in their data platform org. Its a rapidly growing company at $2B ARR. They are more mature in data organization but a bit behind on the tooling I prefer. This is because I had total control of data infra...

Sorry to hear brother. It's never easy. When my dad went I was grateful that he had just come off a fishing run (he was a commercial tuna fisherman up until the day he died) at age 70. Felt a little bad the next day. Then died a few days later. Looking back I don't know how I dealt with it. My...

This old man waits patiently for actual release.

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/139212/the-hundred-reigns-timeloop-litrpg This one is excellent. Void Herald has a number of very solid fictions. Vanquer the dragon being his most well known. I have not read Gunsoul but I will eventually. Thoroughly loving this one.

San Andreas was my favorite GTA. Just the right mix of campy, arcady gameplay and fun. The moment I knew I loved it was that mission where you hijack a jet mid flight from a Cessna. Then fly to Liberty City to ace some guidos and return. It was so absurd it stunned me. I loved it.

This game does look cool. It just looks like its trying to do way, way, way too much.

Also all of the "realism" shit in 4 was a mega turn off. There was so much sims type bullshit in that game. Oh go to the internet cafe so you can log into facebook and go on dates. Go bowling with your cousins despite Nico being a grimdark PTSD type character. Like what? I love minigames as...

I stopped playing 4 when I realized the Taxis were instant teleports to your desired location.

Champignon Witch is weirdly wholesome and enjoyable.

100%.

These were incredible. They have that perfect Supreme Pizza taste and even smell of green peppers and mushrooms. Something I always associate with Supreme style.

A 12 hour "take home code exam" is pretty insulting. I've never encountered something this wild. At most I've had to do a multi problem leetcode. Even in person whiteboarding exams were way shorter. I never actually applied to this role that I remember. Unless I just clicked an easy apply...

It was not an Indian. Confirmed one of their recruiters, a 20 something white girl. Like most of them seem to be. She contacted me on Linkedin first.

Dude look at this shit lol. Their zip file had 5 datasets in it. Ranging from 20k-300k records or so. As I do all of the above in my day job: 1. This is obviously highly specific to the data in question. Is it billing related? Is it an event/real time kind of thing? Yes you can make an...
