H110Hawk posted:"15 minutes is an hour, an hour is a day, and a day is end of the week." - Your schedule moves and changes with the wind, and everything takes way longer than you think it should. Doubly so when talking to outside teams. If you're talking to your boss about prioritization then make sure to be crystal clear about what you aren't doing in order to accomplish this new task. "That should take around an hour, I would have to stop working on X to do Y. OK?" I've unfortunately found that it should actually be said very explicitly in an email that is printed out and highlighted so you can hand their words right back to them. Even then you'll just be told "you should have been able to do x and y and even z in 15 minutes. You need to FOCUS!"

Good to know One thing I have to consider is we do use Riverbed accelerators so every time the SSL is renewed on the git server, for example, I have to export it out and upload it to the riverbed. If I can do that once every 2 years that beats every 90 days or whatever... kensei fucked around with this message at 18:28 on May 21, 2018 |

If I can do that once every 2 years that beats every 90 days or whatever... Rule #1 of Let's Encrypt is automation. If two years vs. 90 days actually makes a tangible difference to a human you're not doing LE right. Do the Riverbed devices have an API of any sort or even a scrapeable interface that you could use to script the process of installing keys when they're renewed? If so you can probably tweak one of the acme.sh deploy scripts to fit your needs, and if you're feeling really friendly submit it back to the project as a pull request so other users of those things can benefit. https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/tree/master/deploy The CPanel script demonstrates using a local custom binary, the Kong script demonstrates a remote API, the Fritz!box script shows a screen scraper, and the SSH script shows a solid generic strategy for basically anything supporting SSH with file transfer.

I like cloud flare because of the ease of use of their api plus terraform integration. It's nice spinning up a new server and automatically creating a dns name for it.

Having a non-API driven appliance you have to deal with is important information there. I wouldn't use letsencrypt in any environment where it can't be set it and forget it. For your literally hundreds of records you should have machines doing the work for you: pre:$ alias nscurl='curl --silent -H "X-NSONE-Key: five -X ' $ for i in $(nscurl GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/ | jq -r '.[] | .zone') ; do nscurl GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/${i} | jq '.records[] | .domain' ; done > complete-dns-dump.txt $ wc complete-dns-dump.txt 686 686 17125 complete-dns-dump.txt

Alfajor posted:Ok, i guess I'll chill for a while. This depends on the company culture too. Most would prefer 2+ weeks notice to help find and train a replacement. Some companies will walk you out immediately after giving notice. It is also common for job offers to fall through over the weekend. Do not put in your notice until you are comfortable being asked not to come in to work. It is not your job to make sure the old business keeps running because they are under prepared .

I've given 4 weeks notice on 2 separate occasions and on both I have felt completely unmotivated to do any meaningful work beyond the end of the second week. I will generally push people to wrap up their tenure by the end of week 2, but respect their decision if they push back to stay on the full time.

If you can't mark the item as closed, there's no point in even starting it. VSTS is up for me, but so ridiculously slow that I'd almost prefer it was down.

For the first time at work, I feel extremely comfortable with one horizontal and one vertical monitor. This job is a lot of reading and writing and using preferred tools and much less (ie none at all) troubeshooting lovely applications that i hate. No applications means no aspect ratio restrictions means no reason to not have a nice vertical monitor to reduce margin deadspace and scrolling.

Glassdoor, but comp compared to peers should be a small part of the justification. It's much stronger if you talk about your personal contributions at the company, and the operational savings or $ savings that resulted.

If you've worked for you company for more than a year and have no raise, you are effectively making less money, but yeah do what this guy said:KS posted:Glassdoor, but comp compared to peers should be a small part of the justification.

Meanwhile I have gotten two raises, a random bonus, and a promotion in less than a year here. Oh, I don't know if this is just a regional thing, but if you can be considered a ".net developer" you are probably a job change away from swimming in money scrooge mcduck style. Seriously, we cant hire any without extreme WFH perks, unlimited vacay, and starting 160k. We have a grand total of 3 looking for a 4th. It might be cheaper to recruit these people with with paid escorts. It was recently joked about in a meeting in that borderline not joking way.

So many things encompass what a loving .net developer is that people have a hard defining what one even is. I am not even close to a .net developer. I am a sysadmin with moderate powershell skills (true middle of the road powershell person is still rare) who has picked up asp.net stuff pretty fast. I work with some talented .net guys though. I was just posting because labeling yourself a .net dev in the dfw area right now is going to make you serious $$$.

We found out the hard way that product performance ratings are a thing for a reason. 2 10km 10gig Fiberstore SFPs+10.01km of fiber = bad time. 2 10km 10gig Fiberstore SFPs+10.001km of fiber = perfectly fine. who would have thought? The worst part was how it manifested itself. poo poo was entirely fine until it had some actual load placed on it, so in all of our testing we couldn't find a problem. But whenever we used that setup to actually serve data from our netapp it would work for 10 seconds followed by 10s of packet loss.
