  • I keep to myself unless it’s about unionizing or other big values of mine. The job gets done and its above standards, no one ever complains about my time because its mine, so I’ll never complain about their time because its theirs.

    On a similar note, when you get to the gas station, do you care if the gas reservoir was filled on time, or do you care that there is enough gas to pump? Same with your phone bill, does it matter if you get it 4h before you get home or 15min but in the end its there when you get there.

    Both in IT and creative contracts that I do, I’m the one that sets the deadlines and I’m 99% on time, for years. And it works for my bosses/contractors and partners. The 1% will tell you that if you are not on time for work your work is less valuable, when 99.99% of the time, absolutely no one with 2 braincells really cares.

    Again, this is not regarding lifesaving situations. I was a lifeguard and a paramedic & I always arrived 1h early for those gigs. No matter the location or my Sun allergy. Lives are lives. Work is just fucking work.


  • I also worked IT, being late was the usual and no one cared cuz I made sure all problems where handled as the manuals I created. Even so, unless your job is saving lifes and not creating economic value for the shareholders. No amount of late really matters. Get the job done, time is whatever.















  • They most likely already have half the knowledge, mainframe infrastructure is a different beast than servers but not a huge gap if you are Valve, they were responsible for half an EXABYTE of data traffic per month… IN 2015!!! Haven’t seen any new reports from them or Level 3 Communications (unaware if they still partner with them), to know current levels but its for sure at least 10 exabytes annually.

    Edit: Getting some downvotes but unless proven other wise the data is there, I can understand not everyone in c/technology works in the industry like some of us but unless your source is this fucking idiot mainframes are still peak efficiency and peak speed and peak space efficiency and peak… you get the point. Ask IBM, at this point they own half the mainframes in the world and they still release enterprise Linux distros.

    Anyway, clearly I was still under the impression L3C was still a thing, now they are part of lumen and while no longer in the S&P500 they still move around a fucking gazillion of exabytes everywhere.

    Still regarding Vajve, turns out my predictions were very moderate, I was 33.3% of the way there, turns out in '18 they broke the 30 exabytes mark. With a very conservative trend analysis we can bet on Steam being responsible of 40% of Asia’s bandwidth by the end of the decade and 30% of North America’s. All in all they are on track to break the 50 exabyte mark this year alone.

    I didn’t do it. He did that himself, he [pretty much, in other words] said:

    “I’m fine with a genocidal transphobe homophobe racist antisemite literal murderer being welcomed of my software community if he was alive now. As long as he keeps his crimes against humanity off the main focus: my project and my project alone.”
