90% of my air travel is up and down the west coast so southwest works for me. low price, low frills, they get you where you need to go without too much hassle. im a fan dont fly them cross country though. oof. FMguru fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Feb 21, 2020 |

delta is pretty good except for the union busting stuff alaska is pretty good if you're on, or going to, the best coast southwest is pretty great if you're traveling on your own (or don't mind getting split up) and just want to get somewhere cheaply and effectively I've heard good things about jetblue but they're east coast and i never go there Icelandair is pretty good for getting between US and EU. Canadair is... fine, I guess, not great not terrible, but I've only flown with them once united is garbage, frontier is garbage for clowns, I think american and spirit are also awful but I've avoided them so long I'm not 100% sure anymore.

union busting aside delta gets some props for telling the state of georgia to gently caress off with the anti gay and transphobic legislation as well as when the state gov made a stink about delta cutting off the NRA's old travel deals. as a result new and existing transpacific and transatlantic routes are going to SEA/LAX/MSP and DTW/JFK/BOS respectively

on southwest it matters because then you get to choose a seat you want. on other airlines it matters because you can get an overhead bin near your seat

proest move for Southwest is to board after 40% of passengers have boarded, then you can pick who's going to be next to you that way we can all be sure we're sitting next to a f u c c b o i

Jabor posted:speaking truth to power is a quick way to find out whether your boss can handle the truth tbh, speaking truth to power is really bad advice unless the "truth" is "things are great, boss" Your boss is a person too and has feelings, and probably is partly to blame for whatever bullshit you're complaining about. You can crap on them a couple of times and get away with it, but do it too often and you'll find yourself sidelined or fired.

yeah don’t just walk in and be all “this sucks, you suck and you should feel bad”. come with constructive ideas and options to fix the thing you don’t like. if you walk in looking to complain and don’t have ideas to fix it then just don’t say anything.

“document your responsibilities” can in the least likely scenario be “we need ammo to go gunning for your raise”, or “we have no idea what you’re doing but we’re ready to bet we can find someone to do it all (once you tell us what it is) for cheaper”, which is far stupider but also far likelier

What is with companies these days wanting one to write NodeJS bullshit all the while maintaining the entire infrastructure and the CI/CD pipeline? I recently walked out of an interview that literally wanted me to write a complete API that responded to four URI's with different requirements, then write the Ansible/Terraform to deploy the solution AND (get this AND) the entire CI/CD pipeline with a build job that ensured the URI's responded correctly. I'd like to think I exited that one nicely, but I'm pretty sure I was irritable as gently caress while I found the nicest way possible to just leave.

Not a Children posted:They want free work OP That's what I imagined. It's very tiresome to be borderline management (just haven't been deemed the title in the last decade) and get these types of time sinks. I'm starting to think that when I see "DevOps" I should just steer clear? Just sucks as I'm really good at what was once the definition, and would be a nice comfy position for me to take the time to learn me up on some management skills.

[/quote the oft-complained about union rules requiring that an electrician and no one else plug in a thing sounds more and more appealing. you want someone to do all your deployment poo poo you hire someone to do it. poo poo's a full time job. sure you have someone take time out from their other job to do a half-assed version based on a 3-minute read of a tutorial and a few stackoverflow answers, but gently caress that poo poo. do it right. double lol at someone asking that for an interview.

I have found that most people who ask for a DevOps guy are either: 1. Not aware of what it even is and are just aware that you're supposed to have it. These people CAN be ok to work for if they're willing to listen but it's a crap shoot and I avoid them. 2. Know they need a dev, know they need an operations person (system engineer), but either have budget for one role or are too cheap to pay for the two people they need. They figure hiring a DevOps guy means you get both! These people are awful and I avoid them even harder. Neither of these people understand that DevOps isn't a job role, it's a work culture thing, and it frustrates the hell out of me.

buttchugging adderall posted:Neither of these people understand that DevOps isn't a job role, it's a work culture thing, and it frustrates the hell out of me. This might have been true when the term was coined but now DevOps means the Infrastructure & CI/CD pipeline guys and gals. Operations Engineer, SRE, DevOps, Release Pipeline Engineer, these can mean exactly the same thing or different things depending on the who you're talking to. In my experience it's mostly the same thing though. Either way I agree with CMYK BLYAT! that they should all form a powerful union so that I have a good excuse to not do that stuff.
