I consider someone being hard to replace as a problem that may or may not be their fault. If they’re actively hoarding knowledge and skills, it’s better to bite the bullet.
Personally, I try to make myself unnecessary in my roles by empowering my people. If they can’t operate without me being arbitrarily absent for a month, I’ve fucked up.
I’m all for tolerance but why should the circumstances of the individual matter? A single non-parent might have just as good a reason for being late.
36·3 months agoDoesn’t the US have a constitutional amendment for this (maybe even the first one)?
I’d think the “originalists” would be all for this.
Sigh. I wish this wasn’t true.
And let’s not forget what is essentially Internet censorship.
1·3 months agoI can’t argue, but there are benefits.
If you need something running 24/7 then on-prem may work out cheaper for you. Keep in mind you need a team of server monkeys to keep that running, and your company’s security certifications will come nowhere near that of a major cloud provider.
Cloud is good for elastic workloads. And you can save money that way if you’re set up for it. A simple lift and shift will always be more expensive. But doing things like moving build tasks to spot instances and auto scaling capacity in peak periods is a huge win. No need to over provision your DC and no need to upgrade your hardware – generally AWS releases new products at roughly the same price as old but with increased performance. You get upgrades “for free”* with no capex.
Again I’m not saying that your circumstance means that cloud isn’t more expensive. But there are medium term benefits.
AWS refused to offer hybrid as an option for years. They’ve changed their tune in the past 5 or so. No reason not to take advantage and do what mix makes sense for you.
I’m legitimately curious to understand more (not challenging your assertions). They offer hosted Jira/Confluence and probably other stuff no-one cares about.
What’s the problem with adoption?
I’m one of the most left wing people you will find in any overton window.
I still don’t think it’s unreasonable to say an average male has more physical strength than an average female. This is just biologically true. I’m not saying you can’t have strong women or weak men; nor did the commenter.
Fight the battles that have value and improve equity for everyone. This isn’t one of them.
EDIT: Before anyone picks up on my use of the term “biological”, I’d like to clarify I am a trans rights supporter. That is not the point at hand.
21·2 years agoI don’t see any fundamental difference in this context. A group of individuals pay into a communal fund and access it when in need.
Some take more than others, but everyone has a safety net to access.
You could argue about premiums and co-pays but the model is the same. The only difference is whether it is taken out of taxes or paid directly.
I apologise if we are approaching this from different viewpoints and I am not understanding properly.
I’m assuming you’re in the US.
Do non profit or cooperative insurance companies exist? They would seem like a less evil option if available.
I’ll just go cancel my universal health care now.
1·2 years agoAs other comments have alluded to, a sharpening stone is a far better investment and only takes a half hour to learn.
Even if you do a bad job it’ll likely be a better result and better for your knives. Most sharpeners absolutely destroy knives and take far too much material off.
1000 grit is a good place to start.
