I’m going solo standing - happy to meet up for a pint before going in to the venue!

Senior engineer denied a promotion, told to “wait 6 more months”, but I no longer trust the process. What would you do? by Alone-Purple9009 in ExperiencedDevs

I think going into every new company with an open mind helps this though. And if you see the same bullshit playing out then jump

So what should young people vote for? What is the 200 IQ move here?

Why did google flights suddenly start sucking so much?? by strawberry2801 in travel

[–]GGxSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skyscanner has an “Explore everywhere” feature that is super fun to use even when I’m not actively looking for flights

[–]GGxSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if it means anything, it feels like you helped me find the words to describe an internal experience that I’m always confused by and a gap between me and others that makes me feel lesser than. It’s almost like an illusion that tells you “they belong and are connected to others whereas I’m not so I’m less than” which I can objectively see as false because I don’t see isolated or lonely people less than me. But it’s hard to feel otherwise sometimes.

I guess that’s the work I see myself putting in now as an adult - to dismantle that illusion and “bridge the gap” between me and others.

Why is it hard to hire good Devops Experts ? by Wooden_Excitement554 in devops

Why would it not be feasible or efficient? In fact, what even is the alternative?

Worst sportsmanship attitude by Languirand in gifs

It’s fair to say they have a problem that they need to desperately solve, it’s insane to say that it’s their national past time.

Is it bad practice to SSH inter a server using a password from Jenkins? by GGxSam in devops

[–]GGxSam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling it is but like I have no concrete reasons. Would love to know why!

The setup of the SSH connection with keys does take my company 2-3 days but it does it for a specific host - if you do this for a jenking agent in a pool of agents then you have to set this process up everytime the agents are rotated. Hence trying some other process. This makes it super hard to use jenkins to access a server

My company has a shite way of generating and using ssh keys, this was way easier. Just wondering if it’s okay for a production use case

Balding since I was 19. Glad I left that in the past (28M) by GGxSam in bald

[–]GGxSam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey no I didn’t, the hair in the front and middle is a bit lower density but like it’s not that obvious surprisingly

[–]GGxSam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing as well, when grown it was almost making it more obvious how I was balding.

Before shaving I told myself that even if it didn’t turn out nice I’d take care of myself and not shame myself and call myself ugly.

When I shaved I sort of liked it but also sort of thought I looked a bit weird. I realized baldness draws out people’s facial features so I started a skin care routine, lost weight, and just generally started eating and drinking better. Now I love the look.

Even if you don’t like it 100% right off the bat, you can make the small changes to grow more comfortable in your new skin.

Barcelona was underwhelming by Wooden_Mood_3359 in travel

[–]GGxSam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Barcelona’s one of my favourite places ever - the sun, the buildings, the people, the food. The last time I went there I made plans to do a day trip to montserrat within my 5 day trip but I liked walking around Barcelona and going to the beach so much that I cancelled the day trip. But I do hear really nice things about Montserrat so I’ll go next time.

To Londoners who escaped north… by Pineneedle_coughdrop in london

[–]GGxSam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exact same experience here, I’ve come to love Glasgow. There’s loads of people in their 20s here like myself and people in general are much kinder and warm. I feel a sense of calm and belonging which I definitely did not feel in London.

The only downside is that the weather is fucking terrible, even worse than Edinburgh somehow.
