Vim doesn’t hate you. It loves who you could be.

Desperation is a powerful motivator.

He worked for the gaming site/podcast “Giantbomb” years ago. Pretty sure the image macro is pulled from one of their podcast videos.

Nah, that was justification. If only “the service workers” would “do their jobs,” then it wouldn’t have to happen.

“If you just didn’t make me mad, I wouldn’t have to X” is abuser 101.

Yup, there’s the justification right on time. They had to abandon basic civility and professionalism to “hit their targets.”

Thats why they can be abusive, ignore the company process for tickets, threaten their coworkers, whatever they want. They need to “stay on parnet track” and “hit their targets.” No one else has any stressors or requirements at their workplace, just the lawyers.

Nevermind that the “support staff” make sure lots of people, processes and services work, and may individually be more important to “hitting targets” for the company as a whole than any individual lawyer.

How about the lawyers “do their job” by interacting with their coworkers professionally? By submitting tickets correctly and in a timely manner?

Abusing your coworkers is never justified.

He doesnt talk about pictures at all. That was someone elses supposition.

It’s not clear from the snippet of text what the issue is, but it sure looks like he opened up the folder ACLs and found that his account wasn’t “Owner” for some folder/files, and now hes mad that he is being made to elevate his own account for that folder, because “He is the OWNER!” of the files in a property rights context.

Windows defaults to giving a user access to common folders like a desktop, pictures, etc. Most never need anymore access to internal folders.

The fact that Andrew has the permissions settings open enough to discover “owner” but doesnt understand what any of it is means and instead launched a “don’t tread on me” screed about his “dominion of all things mine” implies that he fucked up, not Microsoft.

Yeah, because being a raging asshole to your coworkers is justified as long as it helps you “stay on partner track.”

Abusive people always find justifications for it.

33% of payment on project start, 66% of payment on demonstration of final product, 100% payment on hand over.

Worst case you get 66% of your payment. Make sure 66% is enough to make the project profitable.

Clear contracts are also important. Fuck you, pay me.

It can be. I often find it “bursty.” I’ve had months at a time when I had stand-ups and then “do whatever you want” for the rest of the day. I generally did do useful work, but there were plently of days when I was just chilling out.

Ive also had months where I ran from fire to fire while on fire, spreading even more fire. Also, there was fire.

It juat depends. If some org treats you as disposable, pays like shit and lights your hair on fire as you walk in, y’all should walk back out. The next org will probally treat you better, because there are good orgs out there. Even the good places get busy for a bit though. Just make sure that busy comes with money and that it ends at some point.

Nah, this is a meme post about using chatgpt to check even numbers instead of simple code.

Same joke as the OP, different format.

Its an active project. Likely lots of improvements if you haven’t used it for a while.

This isn’t philosophy, It’s wankery.

Sound is a matter of Newtonian physics, which do not in any way care about linguistics or perception.

The universe is not so concerned with our perspective that it changes itself to suit us.

Are you earnestly saying sound only exists if someone hears it?

A sound, also known as “air vibrations” to some, exists independently of a listener. It does not “become sound” only if someone hears it.

You forgot the “charge 10k to start, rollout garbage, then charge 15k as you miss milestone after milestone.”

Management is always management first, but sure.

Gatekeeping at the lower IT level comes from “responsibility.” Lots of people want unlimited power, but the minute there is an issue, they throw the problems back over the fence, fingers a’ pointin’.

If a different part of the org takes actual ownership, I’m always happy to let them fully control whatever. When you do the backup/monitoring/logging/provisioning/licensing/securing/load balacing/etc, go nuts.

It’s why shadow IT is fine by me, but if you want to fuck shit up and then try to tell me to clean it up, nope nope nope.

Shadow IT is a management failure, not an IT failure.

Personally im inclined to let buisness units blow themselves up if they like. I’ll pick up whatever pieces I can, but if I can’t, all well. If we dont support it and you use it, things get really simple for us.
