Not all things can be safely automated, and some of them may be due to ambiguity, or ways to fix the behaviour of automation. Playbooks also sometimes require human steps like "if this type of incident happens and you think there's been a data leak, here is who you contact, the type of public incident you open, how you run the comms, who you escalate to, and the way you start a locked down investigation." Some runbooks are also lists of common admin operations or pressure valves ("if it appears the system is overloaded and scaling isn't working properly, here are some types of traffic you may want to start throttling, but first run the following query and make sure you're not degrading these critical customers first") that come from layers that are expected to sometimes fail. You think a release is bad? Here are the buttons to pin an older one and revert the deploy. Here's how you unpin it after the fact. Don't forget to flag people behind the commit you suspect were problematic, and be loud in this and that channel so people don't assume the main branch is safe, then roll it back, etc. Or in the case of a cascade, they can explain what are the core components or systems you need to protect and resolve first. We have some alerts that come with "so this type of scheduled file failed to upload. Here are some common causes. Also if this isn't resolved in X hours, here are the type of consequences that may happen" so that the alert is contextualized and framed properly. Like good runbooks aren't about making people do step-by-step scripts, it's about providing framing and support for people who may be rusty with a procedure they haven't run in a while, or providing useful reminders or guidance to let them make specific decisions.

CMYK BLYAT! posted:the person asking salary questions is (at all but the tiniest of startups) someone in HR. you will not interact with them after getting hired, and it is literally their job to give you the lowest offer you will take. you can reasonably just say "market rate; if you can provide a range i can tell you whether i'd switch for that to not waste your time" in this case, it was literally the cto emailing op about the role. that screams small shop and should usually be taken as a signal to slow your roll on wordy language that tries to sound formal. in the unlikely event the gig doesn't already involve working directly with the cto, it should be your goal to establish as friendly a relationship as possible with them. it should go without saying that there are massive perks to being "friends" with the c-suite. your suggestion of "market rate; if you can provide a range i can tell you whether i'd switch for that to not waste your time" is a spot on response regardless of whether they're talking to an hr drone they'll never hear from again, or a future teammate/manager. "i have faith $COMPANY can make a competitive offer based on my skillset and experience" however just comes off as stand-offish and almost sets an adversarial tone to the conversation.

maybe they're from a culture where it's gauche to talk about money. we got like dozens of de facto separate cultures in the pos from norcal, urban guangdong, urban korean point of view it's like whatever. from rural japanese, rural midwest, cornish, certain parts of eastern europe point of view it's fuckin insanely gauche its worth readin 'human universals' by d brown and marvelling at how fuckin few of them there are, really. and the ones that there are are like, 'fewer than 11 genders', and 'there is some way that they make music.' 'they eat food.' minimal number of color terms? 2. bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 22:08 on May 25, 2022 |

I was supposed to get an answer after the final round of interviews by Wednesday. It's now Thursday and I have a request from the CSO to meet via video conference today. That's good right?  He was at the initial round and straight up told me he was moving me on to the next a week before I got the request formally for the final round technical interview. figgies  nudgenudgetilt posted:offer obtained. it'll be my lowest salary tech job since 2009, but i'm banking on being dns/dhcp janitor at a university inducing fewer suicidal thoughts than startup life Grats, I've worked at a university before and it can be both chill and irritating at the same time depending on where you are.

On the 31st I am attending my bootcamp's Launch day where we meet and greet their contacts. On the list there are 14 suitors: 3 Fintech, 3 staffing agencies, 5 consultant firms, the feds, and two life insurance companies. I get to pick 4 to see.

i cold applied for a principal role at a big company doing backend data ingress for streaming video and VOD stuff also got a friend who sent my resume around at a chill sounding video game porting house which normally I’d run screaming from but the pay is actually dece and the company seems chill — not a staff or principal role but actually sounds cool and good fingies crossed $currentjob has been an endless cycle of my specific team not having anymore feature work to do and upper management not taking action. ive even completed all my little pet peeve projects over the last few months and gotten hella kudos and even a silly quarterly award for being a good helpful employee who has helped a bunch of other teams avoid or solve big issues by being a good advisor with good opinions and direct advice and even wrote two libraries. however our director refuses to take action on formalizing a small team around all the weird dumb bullshit we’re always having to solve in back channels and with the spare time people like me (with no feature work to do) have to actually solve problems. im a shadow architect basically a cyberpunk goose fucked around with this message at 01:59 on May 27, 2022 |

KidDynamite posted:post the job boards! dunno about job boards, your best bet would be to hit the larger japanese software companies through their sites: https://japan-job-en.rakuten.careers/search-jobs https://careers.mercari.com/search-jobs/ https://about.paypay.ne.jp/career/en/ https://careers.linecorp.com/jobs i'm probably forgetting a few, but that would get you started. indeed has a japanese site and some places advertise listings on stack overflow, but really i'd recommend just sticking with the big places. the japanese pool for programmers is really small so, if not a majority, then a very sizable minority of devs are foreign. most technical work will be done entirely in english, so you don't have to worry about the language gap and all. considerable pay cut from the US is the main down side, aside from living in a country where you can't speak (and more importantly read) the language and all.
