“good morning, I’m about to destroy the backend” is exactly the energy I’d welcome from a colleague frankly.
I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months
I’ve seen plenty of back ends that needed to be destroyed.

What is this magical job where two typos land you a day off, no questions asked?
- 8 months
A typo in software development or other shell based work could completely ass womp a system in ways that could lose a company lots of money.
Oopsies on prod systems, even with an outage window, can really fuck shit up. Seemingly small mistakes can quickly snowball into systemwide outages.

It’s wild to me how some places I’ve worked are like locked down, all the infrastructure is in terraform or whatever and can be deployed immediately… and other places are like “ssh into prod with the credentials from confluence, edit the config in vim, and paste the new code into a new file”
- 8 months
One of those is Amazon prior to chatgpt, the other is Amazon a few weeks back.
- 8 months
I’m at one of the latter, so I feel this in my bones. I’ve watched what should have been an innocent config change snowball into a pair of VM clusters shitting back and forth for 2 hours. Implemented strict change control that day. Kind of a pain, but the team learned a lot that day!
- 8 months
We literally have both and our new Tech Lead is absolutely terrified that I can deploy shit into prod right from my command line. I think it’s hilarious (because yeah, it’s total shit, but our Dear Leader was a complete muppet who refused to listen and prioritise doing things right, so here we still are). Also our GitLab is the free licence because why pay for the thing that takes care of our entire codebase, eh ? 👌

Not deploying the backend doesn’t make it a day off.
The coworker probably got the message right and knows about some integration problem the poster doesn’t know about.
tbf this was a pretty big typo if anything deserves a day off its this

In my last job we called that “optimizing”, after a colleague (who usually only did frontent work) used the opportunity when everyone else was on vacation to implement a few show-stopping bugs in the backend and put “optimized backend code” in the commit message. He did the same thing a few months later during the next vacation period, which really solidified the joke.

Worked with a guy that would always say I’m refactoring X and it would usually give us weird issues and bugs. So after a while the team started calling it refucktoring

Do it and I destroy your backend.

whatsapp is closed source and meta owned. i think it’s incredibly foolish to trust that it has no backdoors built in.
- 8 months
That’s not how encryption works. But you’re not wrong about it being owned by meta being a problem. There’s more info in a message than just the contents.
- 8 months
you say that but they’re already thinking a step ahead and assuming meta left a backdoor or CVE at the behest of 3-letter agencies.
What’s facebook’s business plan? Right, surveillance capitalism.

IIRC whatsapp’s automatic backups are stored in cloud and unencrypted by default. So it takes only one person in the group chat who has backups enabled (pop up reminds periodically if not) and no password is set (not required, takes effort and will to set) to leak everyone’s messages.

I assume no encryption is safe from three letter gangs, at this point I’m only concerned with keeping grubby corporate fingers at bay.

I always find it funny how many people fail to understand the “end to end” part of end to end encryption.

I’m aware the technologies exist - I can’t fathom wanting my sensitive communications served by meta.
Also, grandma* - my pronouns are right there.
Hey, just so you’re aware I’m reading this in Voyager and it does not display your pronouns like the web UI does.
- 8 months
It shows almost nothing and definitely leads to confusion about who is talking to who :(
- 8 months
Tbf, I don’t read unames, and my app shows the pronouns in line with and the same color as the unames, so I don’t read those either.
Literally no clue who I’m even responding to right now. Doesn’t really matter who it is either, my response would be the same regardless of your race/gender/whatever else.
The one exception is whenever I see something profoundly stupid I will sometimes check the uname and go “ah yes cowbee again how predictable” but that’s just pure entertainment and learning who here not to waste energy on, most comments are just comments and don’t warrant that level of self preservation.
- buttnugget@lemmy.worldBanned8 months
Wait, what confusion? I use Voyager and I have no confusion about who is whom. I can see in the lower reply box that you are balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one.
The only issue with pronouns is that people who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway, so that’s an entirely separate issue.

People who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway
Huh? What the heck did i just read?
- buttnugget@lemmy.worldBanned7 months
You read your moral and intellectual superior explain reality to a bunch of morons. Don’t pull this “we speak other languages” excuse because it’s 1000% bullshit and you should be embarrassed to think it let alone say it.
People, nearly entirely men, assume maleness by default and it has nothing to do with language. It is just morons being morons. My joke about locking people up highlights your unfathomable idiocy in assuming gender when talking to others.

Context is important and voyager does not provide that. Many people respond to the wrong person in threads. For example you just replied to me about pronouns which isn’t my topic.
- buttnugget@lemmy.worldBanned7 months
The pronouns thing was the main topic, son. You’re being obtuse. We can all see who we’re talking to with Voyager.

I think those are for sales, like b2c advertising. Not for how your business talks to each other internally to destroy databases.

Nope, we use WhatsApp for escalation from clients when a ticket is too important to wait. Works great. Management talks to management and passes to us.

Anyone else find that praying hands emoji very condescending when used like that? I would destroy the backend DB if they tried to send me that!

I worked with someone who used them as “thank you”.
it was…a challenge.
- 8 months
What’s wrong with that? It’s a common gesture for thanks in many places irl… that’s the first thing i think when I see that emoji, and I’m from a western culture…
- 8 months
You can also type “thanks” or “please”. Both of those show the hands together emoji.
- 8 months
they do now because people are using it incorrectly.
not once in my life have I groveled a “thank you” and I don’t intend to start via text.

considering I’m not in south asia, and don’t interact with anyone from south asia it’s not something that I have come across, like ever.
use it all you want though, I’ll just always remember the douche bag that used it 500 times a day and associate anyone that uses it like them to the douche bag.
thanks 🤲

Are people also using eggplants improperly? And, you’re proud to never have said thank you?

I don’t use eggplant as a euphemism for penis. I just say penis.
I don’t grovel like a simp. I say thank you and please like an adult, because I am an adult.
Emoji aren’t strictly prescriptive with their meaning. They are generic symbols that can have many meanings in different contexts and cultures.
The name of an emoji is more a suggestion than anything else.

I think it’s Indian English. Wild guess from the sentence structure, vocabulary used and the selected colour of the hands emoji.

Alternative version: … – What are your demands?
- Deploy – I demand you have a day off.
I have been thinking about this and there are 4 messages I could receive that would illicit a similar response. I would ask if the system is down and if it is up, I have 2 people that would be forced to take the day off. Mainly because they never read any documentation throughly and can’t follow instructions.
