DevOps?

so we can actually see what our friends do all day
Friend: “So you get paid to spend the day periodically typing on your computers, surrounded by lots of large monitors, and several times a day you have video calls with people where you use so much jargon that the conversation is almost entirely divorced from the English language? You just finished an hour long meeting where I overheard every word from both sides of the conversation, and I have no idea what the hell either of you were talking about.”
Me: “yes, that about sums it up”

Niche IT project work actually, but lots of overlap with DevOps type skills/situations.

I think my friends (the ones that aren’t in the same field anyways) would be surprised by how much of my time is sitting around doing shit that a junior should be doing instead of more important engineering-type stuff
“so you just got paid $100 to sit around and watch an intermittently frozen software program for a couple hours and clicking a button every now and then, while answering questions you’ve answered two or three times before in your message history with this person, and sat in on three meetings that you didn’t even need to speak during, and you have absolutely no work product to show for the past two hours of your time yet?”
“yep. I’m gonna blow my brains out if this continues”

I want to throttle every microsoft employee. I have enough issues with the CAD program itself, I don’t need fucking office365 and explorer freezing and crashing nonstop

Commenting to share this neat video I saw recently from the developer of Windows Task Manager. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQykvrAR_po
Seems like a great guy. He is retired from M$, so probably safe from your throttling anyway.
