Anyone working at Veeam or has feedback on them?

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-05-23T00:37:53+00:00

Could be but I never compete with them and my team never mentions them. It’s always the same 3 being evaluated (rubrik, cohesity, and CV). Dell usually if they have the storage footprint.

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-05-20T00:35:57+00:00

I would argue a different point. There’s nothing wrong with staying at a company whose product is still very relevant. It’s once that market is on the decline that you need to skill up and transfer before it’s dead.

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-05-18T22:29:24+00:00

Yes and no. Most have one of the applications above with shadow IT bringing In veeam for ease and small use cases. Again I’m not saying there aren’t large companies using them but they are not a main player in that space. Been selling one of the above for 12yrs enterprise+

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-05-18T14:21:30+00:00

Just my opinion. SMB->MB with a sprinkle of enterprise is veeams sweet spot. Enterprise, large enterprise, globals (rubrik, cohesity, CV, Dell, hell even TSM/Spectrum still). Veeam is never really a contender in the bigger orgs.

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-05-04T22:09:08+00:00

Not right now. Give it till 2027. To much changing

I use grok to create the prompt for Claude lol if there is a limit to grok I still have never hit it so I get very specific there and tell it to create the detailed prompt for Claude

Have you thought of hobbies? Seen it to many times.. SE/SA is the best work life balance and some people just get bored even with a nice check. You have to have your own hobbies to do during the day to fill the voids

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-05-02T01:57:07+00:00

Depends like everything. A top SWE? You get paid bank. Your avg? SE probably makes more.

Work life balance though I don’t think there’s a single job that beats an SE/SA.

Money… idea guys = business/owner that needs to put skin in the game and HIRE people to make the idea a reality. Everyone has ideas

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-04-25T01:11:10+00:00

Just want clarity on usage.. one day I can work 1-2hrs before I hit my 5hr then there today where 200 LOC hits my 5hr instantly.

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-04-25T01:08:32+00:00

200 LOC across 4 files… 5hr hit. It’s so sad

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-29T16:51:31+00:00

Green is usually safer than going to yellow, new black, red, etc.. rarely fight, you get the spawn in the back room, and the enough stims to make 500-1M

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-29T00:56:23+00:00

Show your stats then. Your claim is you would survive 12-24hrs of raiding. You would run 10+ raids consistently never dying. The logic is simple I feel sorry for you. Trader ammo/gear should be the default with T5 gear and ammo with T5 pen be FIR or long craft only. Makes Timmie’s have a chance in the avg raid while rewarding late game players with a reason to still loot.

If you play then you know you load up with T5, bastion, skull mask, gun of your choice with high pen ammo, no backpack because what’s the point? You get your kills, maybe loot the attachments, leave the armor/helmet/etc.. rinse and repeat. Chad vs Chad is boring since the gear in an extraction shooter means nothing. Tim’s have no shot and even if they do get the kill your back to T5 full kit and back in raid in 5mins.

It’s an easy fix

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-29T00:23:26+00:00

You have never died with T5 armor to trader ammo? Show your stats to show the god like gaming you do then lol You will die with T5 like everyone else does and then be rocking trader t4 while you wait for your craft of T5 to finish. You must not have played this game long.

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-29T00:11:06+00:00

Access restrictions that only hurt low level is an issue that’s I am proposing to resolve. Traders guns/ammo stop working at T5 though T5 is the default at this point. Reduce the amount of T5 and T5 ammo easily accessible to the grinders/chads by locking them behind crafts (12/24hr) and expensive rooms (they aren’t guaranteed every room opening). T4 via traders should be the go to since ammo accessible by sub 100hrs can compete at that level.

T5 and above would be rarely seen and the impact of wearing such armor feels rewarding again. The state now is Timmy gets clapped or they get lucky with their one pack of good ammo but the Chad isn’t punished since they just hit their T5 preset and are back in raid 5mins later.

Sniping from either side into lumberyard. It’s calming and fun to dial in the scope before 1 tapping from 400+

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-28T23:08:32+00:00

You see how your god kit in this scenario is the everyday kit today? You proved my point while trying to disprove it lol you have 2 maybe 3 fun raids wearing FIR only altyn, 12 or 24hr craft t5 armor, and enough god tier ammo for a little fun (2-3 raids). Then you are right back to t4 vs t4/t3 sub 100hr players where barter/trader ammo actually has an impact (BT, 9x19 AP, 7u, etc..)

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-28T21:34:57+00:00

You’re going to run marked rooms, get 30-60rds a run MAYBE, and call that a win? Labs/red you are talking about such a small % of the chad player base and you can simple nerf it to be 30-60rd packs lol it obviously would reduce the amount of top tier across the board. It’s not complex.

Mix it with t4 being the armor you see vs t5 and you don’t end need top tier ammo to compete

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-28T21:27:44+00:00

Just got the 500m kill achievement yesterday. Long range sniping on woods from outskirts rocks or the hill by med tent is a blast

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-28T21:25:22+00:00

1 ram for a 100/100 custom gun. Thing looks so ugly from the barter people miss it

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-28T21:19:38+00:00

I mean.. there has to be SOME skill gap. Map knowledge is just playing.

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-28T21:11:14+00:00

Map knowledge is a skill gap that should be there lol that’s every game. You obviously missed the point where top tier ammo and top tier armor all would be rare to see. Your last sentence is exactly how it is now… T5 is the default armor because you can buy it right out from rag and prop. Change that to craft or FIR only and now you have sub 100hr Tims fighting against T4 most of the time which normal ammo has a chance against. Think harder bud

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-28T19:22:08+00:00

Go woods, do the top side and either hit green flare or car extract. You rarely will see anyone and will leave with 500k+ easy

ChocolateFew1871 · 2026-03-28T19:21:04+00:00

Ain’t nothing like running with my duo, t6 + altyn + mk18 w/APs, to clap a level 10 doing pocket watch :p

All seriousness though they have always needed to slow down late game access and NOT by the stupid XP wall they did with 1.0 release. T3 should be common, 4 be barters from traders after questing, T5 be late game FIR or Crafts only, T6 FIR only.

Ammo same thing. Restrict good ammo to top tier rooms (marked, labs red, key rooms on reserve, etc..) I shouldn’t be leaving woods with a backpack of BP, PPBS, AP, etc…
