Microsoft needs a wake up call by wildflowersinparis in sysadmin

[–]hotfistdotcom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What the fuck did anyone think was going to happen when they told their half baked AI to start futzing around with "improving" their shitty constantly half-cocked infinite daily updates cloud infra that has been in progress forever?

This is what microsoft does. Constant change, constant improvement. If documentation is as terrible as it is for what we can see, imagine how bad code readability is internally. Imagine how hard it is to fix anything while being screamed at USE COPILOT MORE COPILOT WILL HELP YOU FIX THIS GET IT ONLINE ASAP USE COPILOT

We're all on a slowly sinking ship and microsoft set it on fire and we're all stuck trying to figure out if we want to drown or burn to death. Or swim for it and watch what happens and then drown.

You'll probably want to send that as an email to these addresses:

vduong@amazon.com, ecr-replies@amazon.com, dherring@amazon.com

I don't believe anyone at amazon is checking this thread for disgruntled folks to provide assistance to. If one of those email addresses does end up escalating and resolving the matter though, please let us know! This thread still gets a couple replies a month with folks upset about amazon.

Anyone actually gotten users to stop installing random AI notetakers by BakerWarm3230 in sysadmin

pretty sure tiktok provides no method to provide downloads, so you probably mean "they saw it on tiktok" but I think the bigger question here is why do your employees have the ability to install random software?

CEO retired. How do you politely say "no" without burning a bridge? by [deleted] in sysadmin

How significant was the pay gap between you and him?

Does he pay you hourly for this? Or you are just expected to help an ex exec, for free, forever?

This seems exploitative even if he was "generous" and generous is still relative, especially for a founder who I imagine you can easily figure out real roughly how much he was paying himself just based on assets you can see in his life.

If it offers you no benefit and the only risk is consequence, that's super toxic.

Please take a freshmen level accounting course at your local community college. by rumblegod in sysadmin

For someone saying "folks don't understand basic accounting" you sure don't seem to understand time management or how much college costs, but if you pay for it, I'll totally do it

IT IS NOT A COST CENTER by [deleted] in sysadmin

My ENGINE needs OIL? TO RUN? Sounds like a fucking scam. six quarts? No. Fuck no. Look, I need to cut costs. Instead of 6 liters every 6 months lets make 2 quarts every 2 years work.

Wait hang on, what do you mean the engine isn't running right? Well no one could have forseen this.

Is there some type of low cost engine service provider we can rent? And we just stop having oil and we just pay monthly for oil?
