Definitely a human. Certainly not just two droids in a lab coat.

Addendum.

#flamethrower

That last line tho.

@SrRochardBunson Ha I think there is a version for that.

Though in my case… I will actually use it for weed control as an alternative to chemicals where I can. 🙃🔥

Did you guys know that you can just go to Home Depot or Lowe’s and… buy a flame thrower?

Ostensibly “for killing weeds”.

But… flamethrower.

So anyway. My day was stressful as fuck.

But.

I saw an honest to goodness double rainbow on my commute to the office this morning. That didn’t suck.

@Pippz sort of.

Our org allows logging in to teams/outlook on personal devices but they must also MFA via Duo. (And most of these employees are also given the option to be issued a company device)

We have a number of contractors that could use personal devices but they are only allowed to use that to login via Citrix which is heavily locked down allowing only having access to Citrix apps for most of the contractors rather than a full VDI.

I have… mixed feelings about it.

Jesus Christ my heart. I don’t say this lightly but a shining beacon of Mac centric design is in gravest danger.

Long before I was a creative professional I looked up to them.

They are growing very fast so if I can knock down these barriers it will be a good place for me in the long run - but god damn why did you even hire me if you aren’t going to let me do what you said you wanted during the interviews?

I actually want to do the work they need done (and they NEED it) but if I can’t have even the most basic tools or access I won’t be sticking around very long.

I’m not interested in staying anywhere knowing I’m being set up to fail. 😡

Recently hired as a systems engineer to do Linux stuff and work on automations. Awesome.

Cant install any tools on my laptop, must do all development in a Windows VDI. Okay.

The Dev VDI has git cmd installed, but not vscode, or WSL, or current versions of Python or powershell. Not approved to install anything.

Prod VDI has vscode, but not git or WSL or Python. Can’t install anything.

Also… All VDI’s are non-persistent and get rebuilt every 7 days.

So not only was I hired to do Linux focused work and do not have access to linux, none of the environments I’m allowed to use have any of the tools I need to use unless I try to code in fucking notepad.

Oh also, “by the way we want a lot of these automations done in PowerShell even though we knew you didn’t know PowerShell when you were hired”.

Just found myself behind a Hummer EV on this morning’s commute and have two thoughts.

1) I cannot decide if it’s better or worse than a cybertruck.

2) Why does this even exist?
