    Six years, and it’s still a sign of a bad techie.

    First the printer is the last thing you should have or trust.

    Second, smart homes are not inherently insecure but idiots can EASILY make them that way. Many of the most talented, security minded, techs I’ve ever worked with are home assistant users.

    Maintain local control only, avoid using cloud enabled devices and it’s fine.

    Stop pushing ignorant positions like this post.

    So, in a nutshell, the assertion is that gender is entirely nurture and not nature.

    Yeah, sorry, that is an extraordinary assertion and I’m going to need extraordinary proof.

    Are there people for whom gender and sex don’t neatly match up, or even those for whom it is purely performative, sure.

    But they are statistical outliers, and not representative of the majority experience.

    People can be different then the statistical norm, and that’s ok, but to assert that this norm is entirely cultural is over the top self serving.










  • Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

    I’m talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

    There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example… Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it’s untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

    In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs… They don’t get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.
