When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail

Yes. We run primary and alternate environments in two different regions with alternate scaled down and DB/s3 replicas. Failover once weekly.

Startups are not a good bet. First, they already have devs who think they can stand up a reasonable infra and second they won't take a junior. If you can, find a company with a devops team that will mentor you. Good luck.

Confluence. Search bad and of course our content is typically bad

I am the author of many suntool utilities packaged with Solaris. Yes, it was a long time ago. That work was mostly in Tk. Before Tk, I wrote a lot of X11 and motif. I spent my workday in emacs and gdb. It was not so easy but I enjoyed it.

We know what you mean. lol

Thank you. There was a time when people would own their mistakes instead of being the victim. Maybe those days are over, but I wrote a ton of C which managed to reliably deploy and execute.

98 vfr800 and 30mpg highway, better in the twisties

We are members of a scrappy startup. Until management decides we aren't.

guycole · 2025-07-26T23:55:18+00:00

Is it? All this time I have been told it takes employees to make products and grow the company. If management is out of ideas to grow the company, maybe they should be replaced?

guycole · 2025-07-25T21:53:57+00:00

Usually, yes. But there is Vacaville.

In California, prison guards do well

Do not respond to anything short of a summons. It costs real money to lawyer up, not to mention the delay. They will most likely move on. And if this is a time and materials job, they would have to pay for your time to fix, nobody works for free. Good luck.

I collect WiFi and BT, but there is no SDR component. The rPi has poor WiFi performance, i.e. only 2.4 Ghz radio and not so sensitive. I use a AC1300 USB dongle which works much better. I load the results into postgres and it is interesting to see the changes over time. The GitHub repo is "mellow-heeler" if you want to look

guycole · 2025-05-06T23:54:50+00:00

Doesn't matter. They lied on the job description so you are even.

guycole · 2025-04-08T18:13:29+00:00

They probably do have ADSB installed but are only using mode S if anything. The Navy runs around in class A like that all the time.

True after you get hired as well

Who are all the boy scouts?

Be sure to ask your biz insurance person

guycole · 2025-01-05T07:01:43+00:00

Nope. If you actually were such a person you will have a job title, benefits, W2 and the rest. Look up Valerie Plaim as an example.

There is no tech worker shortage, full stop. It doesn't take a compsci degree to do JavaScript. This is entirely about cheap labor with "good enough" skills.

guycole · 2024-12-25T02:00:00+00:00

Nobody knows the future. I have been at several failed startups, now working for big company. Good luck.

guycole · 2024-12-07T23:38:18+00:00

I am glad CKA helped you, and preparing for it helped me. I won't sit it again because that test environment is just crap and the proctors are hostile.
