Additional options
5) no build deploy script- outcome could be anything
6) no automated tests we trust- this is probably a trash deployment package

Devops is written in yamls. We compile it down to a word document we send to Jim who types the things into the ssh terminal at 3AM. The output is communicated back in binary "not/done" in Outlook because Jim has a mortgage to pay so he's not going to respond with the .log files. https://x.com/Chuckernetes/status/1164003440558845953

The discoverability of 1:1 chat on MS Teams is so bad I initially thought it wasn't possible. No one (at 2 companies) has ever started a 1:1 chat with me on MS Teams, so maybe I'm not alone...or maybe I am, hence no 1:1 chats.

I was in the real estate assessment department of a county. The backend database was Foxbase. I started using Ms-Access to bypass the annoying front end to do reporting. As soon as the org learned I could write SQL, they transferred me to an IT role in a different department. https://x.com/jesslynnrose/status/1163755553929101312

The python venv scene is a cage fight with multiple applications fighting over the PATH. Except two enter and sometimes, a single hybrid emerges.

The correct PHP runtime is "non-thread safe"... somehow this feels is on-brand.

What do you call a supervisor of software developers?

As for "program manager, project manager, scrum master, senior developer, architect" - odds even these don't mean that.

Is this just a lexical gap in English?

The US just recently gave up its base in Iceland. If there was any military value in new bases, why'd we give up Keflavik? And we already got a base in Greenland, Thule. And last time we bought land from Denmark all we got was the Virgin Islands & this lousy t-shirt.

My county is automating away some pretty unpleasant chores. These are chores that usually end up on the desks of the people at the very bottom of the chart, the ones who can't quit & no one cares about their quality of work life. https://twitter.com/walker_jim/status/1162324674749128704

Python is like RPA, you use it when your organization prohibits & can't fund tooling.
