I'm a seasoned professional, at least in the SRE field. El*n once called me a "genius" with "immense talents". Based in SF. All opinions are my own. (he/him) π³οΈβπ ππ«‘
I just got an Instagram DM from a complete stranger wanting my help with Git.
A DM. On Instagram. Asking for help with Git.
Ooooookay.
@mechanicker @getsentry Thank you! I've also found their products very useful, and it also helps that I've already worked with more than a few people there.
Been trying not to get ahead of myself, but I'll be starting a new SRE role at @getsentry starting on March 27th. (Funemployment was getting a little tiresome. This is how I know I could never be a man of leisure, and why FIRE is the wrong approach for me.)
I'm happy to give Tweeps (both current and former) referrals and/or references, as appropriate, and maybe someday I can compile my freshly-updated list of "terrible interviewing practices" into something coherent.
@bro except here we can say "fuck" and we don't have Janet (yet).
@bro No problem! Always good to have ways around vendor lock.
@bro I shifted away from Spotify about this time last year, and I used https://freeyourmusic.com/ to archive and migrate my playlists and favorites. Aside from a few weirder edge cases, the migration itself was pretty painless (once I finally decided where I wanted to migrate).
Apparently Twitter is suddenly very interested in hiring or re-hiring SREs, because of recent incidents.
So https://twitter.com/jredmond/status/1588675418064039937 was right. That's cool. I'm still not planning to go back.
I get really tired of people insisting, without any evidence whatsoever, that I am wrong about this, even after I show them how to confirm that I am right. It makes me all shouty and sweary.
Since U.S. people are starting to put together tax stuff, and since a number of my readers have some RSU-based compensation:
EVERY LAST STINKING PENNY OF YOUR RSUs' VESTING-TIME VALUE IS INCLUDED IN YOUR W-2. EVERY LAST STINKING PENNY OF MONEY WITHHELD FROM RSU VESTINGS FOR TAXES IS ALSO INCLUDED IN YOUR W-2.
You should have a pay stub for each vesting day with a non-zero gross amount and a zero net amount. LOOK AT IT. It includes all that detail, and you should be able to trace YTD figures.
