100% My job is to stop the team from feeling all the corporate BS as much as possible. I'm an ex-dev myself so my job is to make sure they're OK and that thy're not getting pressure from stakeholders/PMs/POs etc.

A massive amount of tech managers have zero empathy sadly. But I'm the complete opposite. If anyone in my team isn't doing OK they just need to tell me, whether it's financial, personal, work-related etc.

I'm a dev manager... I have 3x4k monitors. I watch server loads, I watch the build pipeline and watch the commit logs etc.

Overkill these days, but I'm also a gamer sooooo....

I'm a senior manager at a pretty big company.

That's something she does on the side, and if anyone in the workplace gave her shit, I would tell them to leave it the fuck alone unless they wanted me to bring HR in to the convo.

Can people please not be cunts? (I'm an Aussie...)

Edit: People need to disconnect things. Say there's leaked nudes (or even just public nudes) of a work colleague. Let's take it to they used to do porn. Yep, that's something they did. That has zero impact on their role now or who they are in their role. They don't deserve shame, or ridicule.

I once got a taxi from Sydney airport when I was there for work. The guy tried to go through the boom gate by tailgating the car in front. Broke the boom gate and just kept driving.

Lots of taxi drivers here are completely terrible. Try to rip people off and have had a lot of friends file sexual harassment complaints too.

It was a problem with early WD green drives IIRC. The power management was exceptionally aggressive and caused massive issues when put in to any RAID-like set up. You could override it though generally.

I manage a web dev team. We try to optimise as much as possible but then there's all sorts of tracking that gets tacked on by personalisation teams, opti teams, things like Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter/X scripts inserted too... It's pretty shit. And sometimes when things break it makes it super hard to debug too

This is a very lengthy examination of the primaries. It doesn't really conclude anything except that the process in 2016 wasn't as transparent as it usually was and it might be reasonable to think it might have been rigged.

I thought of it as a great band name...

Ocean Lab - Breaking Ties (https://youtu.be/g13nsQaCxbg )

Great breakup song if you want to just let it out

John Farnham - Help (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs )

This is a cover of the Beatles song. Very different vibe to the original

Realising now my music tastes are a bit weird...
