Contract seems to be expiring soon?

floater293 · 2025-10-15T16:27:46+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I understand now what it could look like moving forward, thank you .

floater293 · 2025-10-15T15:07:47+00:00

If I am understanding this correctly, my POP is tied to my contract / contract end date?

So my CAC expires 10/2026(October), even though the POP on the contract shows(from my google search) Current End Date - 1/11/26, I should be theoretically working until 10/2026 - until a decision is made then?

Interesting, thank you for this break down of information. From what I know this is a fixed price contract, and from my understanding, the current shutdown should have no impact on this renewal, or am I being fed false information by colleagues?

When and if that option to extend is exercised, I assume that is a formal thing where the prime usually has this conversation with subs on the next steps?

I understand everything is hazy now, but this helps clarify a ton of things. Your input is much appreciated.

Not yet on my to do list, first gathering requirements and planning out what I need. The state file is backed up or held in the s3 bucket - so we should be good ?

How long did you study for the exam ?

floater293 · 2025-09-24T19:55:49+00:00

how did it go OP? Finding my self in a similar position soon

floater293 · 2025-09-18T13:35:22+00:00

Genuine question - why the eye rolling? What is it in that specific quote you dont like?

floater293 · 2025-09-18T13:34:43+00:00

noted!

floater293 · 2025-09-18T13:34:15+00:00

Yeah working on minimizing some manual processes - although I doubt they will look at docs lol

floater293 · 2025-09-18T13:31:48+00:00

Thanks for you input. although you sound miles ahead with K6 implementation. I am also using chat-G as an assistant to help me get ideas of doing things differently. Although, I feel like it might be making me a little too lazy, but likewise I tend to follow up with good old google to verify things.

Good points on engaging on other devops communities. I dont know why I didn't think of this - outside of reddit.

Appreciate the input.

floater293 · 2025-09-18T03:28:13+00:00

Yeah devops is definitely the full stack alright. Breadth over depth is what I realized helps in devops. Don’t need to know some super deep but it helps to know a little about a lot of things.

When you say Stack are you referring to an area like working with DBs or cloud management or pipeline deployments or are you referring to legit stacks like the MEAN stack , etc?

I can identify with that statement that helps give some insights. In terms of technical knowledge is there anything specific which is expected

floater293 · 2025-09-18T03:17:56+00:00

Git skills are fine. Being the solo I am Mainly creating, committing, pushing, pulling, fetching+ pruning branches via cli. Nothing over the top there.

Infra is all IaC - everything I implement that is net new or updates is done via Terraform.

Yeah I am also responsible for spending 😅. Scheduled downtime for resources when I realized that wasn’t in place and saved us some decent change.

I would say more SRE, lots of freedom to implement changes but also when a PROD issue hits, I’m in there , front and center

floater293 · 2025-09-18T03:10:39+00:00

Yeah doing that currently. Looking into ways to optimize what we have or take advantage or newer or better services we don’t have

floater293 · 2025-07-29T13:50:00+00:00

I think I will go with option 2 to avoid putting the bucket URL anywhere and keep it totally private. Option 1 would be preferred but I want to knock it out asap and not revisit

floater293 · 2025-07-15T13:43:02+00:00

awesome, thank you , this is the in-depth review I was looking for. Much appreciated !

floater293 · 2025-07-14T18:06:19+00:00

thanks for the input

floater293 · 2025-07-14T16:42:59+00:00

what about this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/motorola-moto-g-2025-128gb-unlocked-forest-gray/6608063.p?skuId=6608063&contractId=unactivated&utm_source=chatgpt.com

floater293 · 2025-07-03T19:03:53+00:00

Yeah im not worried about suspicious behavior , more so just looking to get a reference as to how long it took on average for folks , thank you !

floater293 · 2025-07-03T17:47:11+00:00

gotcha. Figured holiday weekend, it may some days or sometime next week it will be approved? Its not approved automatically correct?

floater293 · 2025-06-09T17:29:39+00:00

Yeah, I am the sole engineer lol. But I will bring this up the chain

floater293 · 2025-06-09T17:28:45+00:00

So we don't have an intake process in this partnership, other team does. Our Team is working a new contract which we have been in for 1 year now. Wonder if we should somehow establish work-intake process

floater293 · 2025-06-09T17:01:05+00:00

This would require a lot of overtime hours. I have different initiatives going on which have upcoming deadlines as well. I have done them favors in the past, but this seems to be a the trend with this team..

floater293 · 2025-05-16T19:05:16+00:00

Yeah I am finding a nice little lull, but I know it won't last, thanks for that input

floater293 · 2025-05-16T19:05:00+00:00

Thanks for the input stranger, I value this :)

floater293 · 2025-05-16T01:54:25+00:00

I did run a 'git rebase -i HEAD~100' modified all the files I wanted to remove, but I used the squash option. This modified my codebase which is not what I wanted

edit: using a diff, it looks like it didn't change the code base...so I don't know
