All things considered that was a better outcome than I expected.

I had a similar experience. I'd clock in from the mobile app while walking into the office, this way I could more efficiently make my morning rounds by starting from the entrance instead of going to the onsite terminal.

They pulled me in, showed me security footage alongside the time clock timestamp showing me clock in a full what, 15 seconds before I enter the building? Said I was stealing time and wrote me up. Put it "on the record". And required I use the physical terminal to clock in unless make an oncall visit to the datacenter.

My daily routine changed from finishing the daily rounds efficiently in under 10 minutes to clocking in, going to the break room, getting a coffee, sitting down at my desk for half an hour catching up on work email and whatnot, then finally getting to the morning rounds, but I'd be extra thorough with the checks, so it'd take about half an hour instead of 10 minutes. Gotta be extra careful right?

For context that was the time I worked IT and morning rounds was checking each device in the building that wasn't employee equipment, so the TVs with their signage, clock in terminals, printers, etc. I'd come in at the rear entrance and could hit each checklist item without backtracking before finishing up at my office.

Early on in my career I got hired as a junior systems administrator. The job description was the usual responsibilities around sysadmin work and supporting our employees. And for the most part, it was. I was part of a team of 4 sysadmins and there were about 500 employees at this location. So not a particularly small outfit.

Anyway, they started asking stuff of my not in the description. I got asked to change a door knob, they justified it as appropriate because it was the IT closet.

Then I got asked to change out a security camera near the top of our warehouse. I refused (the ladder wasn't even rated for my weight), so my immediate boss did it.

A few lightbulbs here and there. Then, the final straw - they asked me to reinsulate the server room. Basically, lift one of the tiles and throw more insulation up there. Given no direction - I got myself a mask and nylon gloves and did it, wish I could say I didn't and I had quit right then and there, but no - I did it and gave them my 2 weeks the next day. They told me they didn't need 2 weeks from me. I was fine with that.

And I know, putting in my 2 weeks a day later isn't exactly a rage quit. But I'm a timid person and a pushover, or was at that time, so to me it certainly felt like it.

Another thing they did was write my up for clocking in while walking into the building. Pulled up the timesheet and the camera footage showing me clocking in a full 5 seconds before entering the building and said I was stealing from the company (basically they showed me the footage of me walking with my phone out and then the timestamp of when I clocked in vs when I entered the building).

The reason I did that was because it was more efficient. I had a set of daily tasks and checks to do and of I started that lost at the rear entrance I could get it done much faster without having to double back.

From that point on you can bet I got into work and took an immediate coffee break on company time before even starting that checklist. Never got written up for that either.

I always hate it when people talk about "eventual issues that people will encounter on Linux".

As if Windows doesn't have those of varying degrees. Usually because Microsoft pushes out an update that breaks things.

They land at Cyril E. king airport then ferry themselves, not their 757, over.

If this is your take your exposure has been pretty limited. While I agree some devs take it to the extreme, Docker is not a cop out. It (and similar containerization platforms) are invaluable tools.

Using devcontainers (Docker containers in the IDE, basically) I'm able to get my team developing in a consistent environment in mere minutes, without needing to bother IT.

Using Docker orchestration I'm able to do a lot in prod, such as automatic scaling, continuous deployment with automated testing, and in worst case near instantaneous reverts to a previously good state.

And that's just how I use it as a dev.

As self hosting enthusiast I can deploy new OSS projects without stepping through a lengthy install guide listing various obscure requirements, and if I did want to skip the container (which I've only done a few things) I can simply read the Dockerfile to figure out what I need to do instead of hoping the install guide covers all the bases.

And if I need to migrate to a new host? A few DNS updates and SCP/rsync later and I'm done.

Yeah, the generative AI pollution feels alot like the whole steel thing - since the nuclear tests it's been impossible for new steel to not be slightly radioactive, which means if they need uncontaminated steel they get it from ships that sunk before those.

Coworker in sales got mad at one of the shipping guys thinking his packing of the pallet was insufficient. They get into a verbal spat until the sales guy walks to his car and pulls his gun on the shipping guy, the shipping guy, who also happened to be a retired marine and allowed by the owner to open carry in the office. Sales guy was lucky the only thing he lost that day was his job.

No shots were fired since the sales guy was stupid but not that stupid. We kind of had a collective "that's not terribly surprising" moment later when the cop was over for the police report and brought up sales guy's past mugshots like "was this the guy".

Definitely negligent, I still remember the young adult who killed himself when he thought his Robinhood account was negative nearly 3 quarters of a million dollars.

No, I haven't heard this "general opinion". Any conversation I've been a part of or observed (which, to be fair, is less than a few dozen) has always defaulted to the driver being at fault.

I'm not sure where you live that the general opinion is victim blaming, but it doesn't sound like a pleasant place.

Brave has been off limits for me ever since I saw my QAnon nutjob father using it lol.
