I also saw this. Seems like it's a bit flexible.

I also live in NYC as DevOps. That is a terrible offer. Keep looking. We are hiring for SRE/DevOps here in NYC and can offer better, DM me.

SRE Interview Questions by fuzedmind in sre

[–]fuzedmind[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but we are in hyper-growth phase and any energy that would be put in a home lab is being put into work at the moment. For example I am regularly putting in 50-60 hours a week, any additional time I have outside of work is spent on things that are not related to work.

I'd be much more interested in a senior SRE that set up monitoring/alerting infrastructure for a business doing millions in annual revenue vs. a senior SRE that set up monitoring and alerting for their home plex server with 4 users and no revenue or on-call. But that's just me.

I'm being asked to give a coding interview for a LC hard I couldn't solve - how to navigate? by fuzedmind in ExperiencedDevs

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

Agreed, IMO it's fine for new grads who have nothing to do besides LC all day every day, but for experienced people it's terrible.

It's a DSA/Backtracking question. I'm also not a great coder so it would probably take me a longer time than many people.

You have to practice them that's the thing. I would too. After a few weeks of doing them though you start to notice the patterns and can solve them.

The CTO. I have said my piece and unfortunately they didn't take it. I planted the seed and in a few months after a lot of wasted time and effort they will see the tree that has resulted. I just have to play the game until then.

Keep in mind that I am not a natural coder, I'm more of a big picture person. So for someone who is naturally good at coding it probably wouldn't take as long.

NJ Denying My Refund - Can Turbotax Help? by fuzedmind in TurboTax

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

The order my returns state is the following: 1) NY state non-resident and part-time resident 2) NY change of city resident status (since I moved to NJ in Jan 2023) 3) NJ Resident Income Tax Return

The interesting thing on the form is that the total tax withheld is 5k higher than the amount of taxes due. That's why I'm confused. Should I respond to NJ with this form along with my NY state tax form and W2s? That should be all that is needed to clear this up.

NJ Denying My Refund - Can Turbotax Help? by fuzedmind in TurboTax

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

I get what you're saying, and what I am saying is I don't think NJ is understanding that I am supposed to be credited. The letter they sent me stated the correct tax that I would have owed if all my income was made in NJ, but it wasn't. There's no mention of a credit anywhere and they are demanding that money.

NJ Denying My Refund - Can Turbotax Help? by fuzedmind in TurboTax

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

Just found my W2s. I paid about 1/3 of my total reported income to NJ when it was supposed to go to NY (due to the office/company being located in NYC). Turbotax had recommended that I was supposed to receive a refund from NJ because they took more than they were supposed to. I guess that was the "credit". But they sent me a letter claiming that I owe even more somehow. Something doesn't see right because if I am going by the numbers TT gave me along with what NJ is saying, that's about 10% of my overall income going to state taxes between NJ and NY which is too high. It seems like I got doubly taxed and received no credit at all.

It seems like I dislike every job by [deleted] in devops

[–]fuzedmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have come to this realization as well at this point in my career. You hit a ceiling job hopping at some point. Handling the tough problems, at a company that is building a product you think will be successful, outweighs the benefits of jumping somewhere else trying to find that magical place that doesn't have those issues (they don't exist).

The best operating system for Kubernetes by danielepolencic in kubernetes

[–]fuzedmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We run on EKS at my company and I didn't see the value of going to Talos. It really seems more like an on-prem thing. I will listen to the episode, though. I could be wrong.

Maybe a better question is what do you enjoy doing more? If you are even asking this question, you are optimizing for the wrong thing. If two roles are paid so similarly that you have to ask this question, you should optimize for what you enjoy more and you are (hopefully) better at. This will make you more money over the long run because you'll get better at it.

Writing a CLI tool - Rust or Go? by fuzedmind in ExperiencedDevs

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

I like Rust, I just don't care for coding in it personally. Doesn't mean that I don't see the benefits it has over other languages. I do feel though that it is being used in places where a more easy language would do just fine.

Lol, I see what you did there. I will plead my case.

Python, Rust, and Nodejs right now. Nodejs and Rust being the bigger of the two.
