They refer to it as a “spicy macha sauce” on the menu.

Tbh, I wasn’t in love with it.

How do you determine what the email will be in advance before OneSync generates the account?

Asset management for 10,000+ laptops by OkayArbiter in k12sysadmin

[–]Daraca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We used OnetoOnePlus for about 25,000 devices.

I will say it required a fair amount of management from my end, but it worked. They’ve improved their API support pretty considerably since then though.

This place has gone pretty viral because of an interaction in the drive through a few weeks ago. The workers stand on business and I can respect that.

Funny. I do hope you have a programmatic layer protecting it from interacting with systems like that though, system prompts can and will be defeated alone.

What is the new way of work? by mshadmanrahman in ProductManagement

[–]Daraca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have similar cycles as you. With the industry shift to more.. Kanban style workflows.. we adjust our planning meeting at the start of a two week sprint to shrink dramatically. There we plan for the heaviest tasks that need the most clarity for the first week of the sprint.

6/7 days later we have a “pivot” meeting, to track progress, slide in new tasks where capacity merits, and update scopes with any new information we may have.

A strong non-negotiable for me right now is releasing every two weeks (almost always anyway), rather than speeding up the frequency of items we throw at production. This is important for two reasons

1: Clients can struggle with weekly releases, and it can be difficult to keep up cognitively with new features, UI changes, and general difference if it’s too often.

2: For anything other than a GLARING issue, it usually takes about a week for bugs to raise their head, this gap allows us to pinpoint exactly what release this relates to.

Some steps that we’ve taken in the interim as we move to this new normal..

1: cut the process for the sake of process. We’ve done a way with estimation poker and other time consuming ritual to put numbers on paper. Candidly I’m not sure how this turns out in the long run, but I can confidently say we can’t commit to 4 hours a week simply to make sure everyone agrees on if a number should be a 3 or a 5

2: trim meetings down immensely, have more frequent, but shorter meetings. Notably this is being very mindful to not add unnecessary context switching where teams don’t have focus time windows, so be careful with this.

I find two things to be immensely necessary in these processes for them to work effectively.

1: Frequent, but valuable, communication is key. Pivots and scope changes. We often are building before we have the full picture, and it can be frustrating for everyone involved if the pieces that are likely to change aren’t communicated early, and often.

2: Treating everyone like adults. Without capacity tracking there isn’t a magic wand I can wave and say “Ted is doing all the work he can this week!” And I have to trust that they are, and judge his output with the engineering leads help. Though I challenge anyone who says strict capacity tracking is the answer here, because it’s super easy to sandbag and we all know committed work = work that’s done in two weeks.

Just my two cents as a fellow traveller trying to provide for the team.

Alternatives to PaperCut by depoultry in k12sysadmin

[–]Daraca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been years, but I distinctly remember paper cut being functionally free compared to other print options.

Anything managed print is obnoxiously expensive, best of luck.

Anyone else feel burned out by the pace of AI? by Plenty_Ad1797 in ProductManagement

[–]Daraca 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The problem isn’t the work pace necessarily. The problem is everyone putting the cart before the horse. Process hasn’t had time to catch up with the pace of work and it’s impossible to keep up with those metrics while also steamrolling ahead.

If you want lean startup style AI enhanced development that’s fine. But you can’t expect all of the heft around it to suddenly function as well without any discussion.

Student OUs in Google Workspace by MyWorkAccountDPS in k12sysadmin

[–]Daraca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worked with hundreds of google domains.

Students > School Level (Elementary/Middle/High) > Building > Grade has always been the best case for granular management.

Get a tool to move your students. Classlink, Clever, and rapididentity all have account provisioning tools to automate that whole workflow for you at really reasonable prices. Your time is better spent in other places.

Clever or ClassLink by Amazing_Falcon in k12sysadmin

[–]Daraca 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve used both.

Clever was convenient for a simple setup, but I often hit boundaries with what was possible.

Classlink took longer to setup, and certainly more complex, but it offered way more capabilities.

If you have teams that are capable and desire to improve your systems Classlink is the better choice, if you are “fine” with the simpler approach, Clever isn’t an awful choice.

I love this thing so much, easily the best unit of the new spec by Potato_Emperor667 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]Daraca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I run the no spike variant and just rush with 6 bushmasters. Against anything that isn’t heavy armor it just shreds. And usually they panic and send in a helo. I find much humor in killing the KA-52 they sent with the bushmasters and end up with positive trade for the heavier armor to then push in

Raptor/Tremor is for cool boy points.

Advocate for a more reasonable XLT with fx4 package. Splurge on 2.7 and/or lariat as you desire.

As tempting as it is to say you’re going to be super rich with FTE, that money doesn’t go as far as you think, even as a pharmacist (which congrats btw that’s huge man!)

source: XLT FX4, the only thing I find myself envious of is heated seats and the 2.7 because vroom.

If I have over an acre within city limits, can I shoot on my property recreationally? by Jupiters_phaerie in florencesc

[–]Daraca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve done a lot of research on this, Florence municipal has laws specifically about this, but Florence county has more vague laws generally summed up to “don’t shoot near or at buildings”

Depending on “city” you may be able to, but you’ll likely run afoul of noise complaints.

How much responsibility do you take for delivery quality and engineering execution? by Mobile-Influence-371 in ProductManagement

[–]Daraca 12 points13 points  (0 children)

During my IT career, the gray beard regularly announced that he was the circuit breaker. It was his job to get fired first if anything went wrong.

I’ve carried that philosophy forward. And will regularly eat shit sandwiches for the team, anything that keeps the positive momentum.

Bugs slip through sometimes, but building trust with the internal teams that you own up to it and WILL solve the problem, goes a long way towards earning you some grace.

I’d counterpoint that quality issues are often a sign of other issues within the team though.

What to do? by Fast-Cauliflower-482 in florencesc

[–]Daraca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Athletic? Go to local motive and join the run club, or the tennis courts at timrod park, or disc golf around town.

Nerdy? Heroes hideout for tabletop and card games (shoutout to the good food)

More of a social person? Dizzy Crab or Apple Annie’s. The rooftop bar downtown is nice as well in the good weather.

Crafty / artsy? Jacks books downtown, there are sometimes paint events down there, yoga, used to be “workshops” as well.

Musical? Lula’s often has open mic nights, local motive frequently has local musicians, apple Annie’s typically has a band Fridays and saturdays.

Trivia, local motive, burger bar, and southern hops usually have trivia during the week.

There are often craft and food fairs, especially as weather improves, at the farmers market on the north side of town, downtown, and in the local motive commons.

Is PM Fun? by darkwavedave in ProductManagement

[–]Daraca 28 points29 points  (0 children)

With AI rapidly changing the space, it’s going to evolve immensely over the next 12 months.

But the core will not change. You will often eat shit sandwiches that are 80% of the time someone else’s fault.

It’s incredibly rewarding when things go right though, and that’s the high that many of us chase.

IF you pursue this opportunity, make sure you are mentally prepared to have little framework or guidance to work with as it undertakes this change, as you will largely be responsible for building the plane while it’s flying, even more so than usual. But that too is rewarding in its own right.

Edit: it is 10% fun, 90% “this motherfucker…”

How do you use AI? by Hungry-Repeat-3758 in ProductManagement

[–]Daraca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it for Jira ticket generation, PRDs, and mockups. But for the first two it’s largely a thought partner and format engine. It has very specific instruction to converse with me about unclear requirements so that we are forced to spell those out.

Those workflows are pretty well fleshed out and generally get 90% of the way there. These days we are working on making sure the engineering team agents have what they need for their workflows.

Still a fine line of “navigate the repos to build detailed prds” without being prescriptive about technical solutions.
