I know why they do this. The last guy’s core job was Ask Jeeves, but he was involved in and at least touched all those other technologies. HR looks at last guy’s resume, figures those are the skills needed, posts a mess.

SOURCE: Been the last guy, seen my replacement posting.

Yes! I was thinking my last Solaris desktop looked much like that.

Always assumed this fiasco was started by high electric bills:

So, where are they getting replacement workers?

20-years earlier.

If you think it’s too dumb, Trump already did it.

A security researcher reportedly logged in to President Trump’s Twitter account last week by guessing the password—it was “maga2020!”

It could work great as a rubber duck as long as one doesn’t take it too far or too literally.

Solid answer! Guess I’m a cow patty for even asking, but you came to the rescue.

Why was the US funding FOSS projects? That strikes me as weird, inappropriate and suspicious.

This is how my tech interview went this week. For every question the panel had I returned a battle story. They were laughing and serious at the same time. Bagged it!

But… HR stuck their nose in and wants their guy interviewed. So now I have to wait a week for them to (hopefully) say, “Thanks but we’re going with Shalafi71.”

That quote may not be true, but American’s were certainly desperate enough. Having heard how mom and dad grew up in the Depression, and young adulthood in WWII, I laugh at GenZ thinking they have it bad.

“No. You have it bad compared to your parents and grandparents. Whine to their parents and let’s see how that plays out.”

Things like that are called “jargon” and are perfectly normal and acceptable in a given field, always been that way.

If you don’t know how to pronounce, or even spell, NGINX, you probably have no use for it.

Sounds like you’re having a hard time keeping up with our ever changing technology. Win11 wasn’t much of a jump from Win10.

Had dozens of people ask me at my last job if they should punch the upgrade button. Only had one person complain they “couldn’t use it”, and he was a moron.

This is the best explanation of MAGA I’ve ever seen, still true after 8-years. Read it. It’s important.

Depending on the state, one may not have that option.

they’re hoarding billions of cash in bank

Lemmy’s understanding of wealth right there.

Illegal only as of 2024. But still, it wasn’t a widespread thing.

Cats, OTOH.

LOL, you’re vastly overestimating company’s IT abilities, funding and give-a-shit motivation. As to money, now you gotta hire people to watch people. No matter how automated, there’s a cost and additional personnel need.

And if the corporation is technically competent enough to manage all that mess, that’s probably a company with skilled workers who will leave under such conditions.

Saving this one for next time I’m on call for weekend monitoring.

People here talking about decompiling code. Maybe you meant to ask how they’re certain it’s not stolen from home base?

All our goods are hidden behind a VPN or MFA (multi-factor authentication). Unless someone does something stupid, you’re not getting in our BitBucket or AWS account.
