“IT people” here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.
It’s been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.
Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.
Even 20 years ago Linux was easier to install then Windows.
Last time I recall Linux being tricky was like late 90s.
Political extremists, such as yourself, are exhausting.
It’s like talking to a religious fanatic, there’s no reasoning with someone who’s made a decision based on emotion instead of logic.
So why dont we have tarrifs on the ones that are produced in Mexico too?
Mexico is not China.
It is in our best interest to have a stable and economically improving neighbor on our southern border.
Your all or nothing / black or white view of the world is extremely childish & naive. Simple solutions to complex problems are just how politicians manipulate those who don’t want to think to hard. Stop pretending that global trade policy is a simple solution arena & try thinking a little harder.
The GameCube being your favorite console has a lot more to do with your age, than anything to do with the console.
Same reason the NES is my all time favorite.
I’m well aware of both, been in the industry for over 20 years.
But you still don’t seem to comprehend the cost or difficulty of the change.
Frankly the support options don’t seem very good either.
Deployment is not even half the battle, ongoing support is where the troubles really come out.
The staffing, the network and storage changes.
The suggestion to just use KVM and ansible is rather tone def.
Sounds like someone with limited experience in the industry, honestly.
You’ve not seen a wide variety of “shops” then, clearly.
Constructive dismissal
All Apple products are designed for people who don’t use technology.
They hide the useful bits so people don’t hurt themselves.
It’s the Duplo of computing.
Toyota is a bad bet when it comes to EVs.
They clearly have no interest in selling them.
Red hat, 25 years ago learned to recompile the kernel to make my sound card/modem work.
This “I work in IT but I don’t know how to mitigate risk” grandstanding kills me.
It’s OK to not like home automation, but to claim it’s because you’re super knowledgeable but in a way that displays obvious ignorance kills me.
These people aren’t more knowledgeable, they are either lazy, ignorant or just trying to justify why they don’t like something in a way that makes them feel superior (see options one and two, but shitier personality).
It was always useless dopamine exploiting garbage.
It served to pump up peoples egos, feed narcissists & mostly not do anything of any real value. It was always a place that would drag random individuals through the virtual streets as some sort of cathartic virtue signaling stoning event for ‘wrong thinking’ or ‘wrong speaking’.
What Musk has done to it has obviously made it worse, but it was never a net gain for society to have something like Twitter.
It was always a very problematic entity, outside of anyone’s political leanings or whatnot.
Was disgusting before he bought it out though too.
He just purged the grossness you liked.
It was always a blight on humanity.
This is literally what I do for a living. Yes deduplication and thin provisioning.
This is still a failure of monitoring or slow response to it.
You keep your extra capacity handy on the storage array, not with some junk files on the filesystem.
You also need to know how over provisioned you are and when you’re likely to run out of capacity… you know this from monitoring.
Then when management fails to react promptly to your warnings. Shit like this happens.
A system this critical is on a SAN, if you’re properly alerting adding a bit more storage space is a 5 minute task.
It should also have a DR solution, yes.
Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.
I’m talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.
There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example… Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it’s untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.
In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs… They don’t get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.
