Comment on Anon works in cybersecurity
sleepmode@lemmy.world 3 days agoI work with older guys. Unix engineers. They’re a bit reticent to change. They’ve been at it for 20+ years on average so they sneer at this Agile stuff. And I don’t blame them. They are at least interested in automation so I’ve slowly been getting them involved there. Positive movement there so far just takes time and lots of conversations.
These dudes you describe sound like total imbeciles.

Colour me jelly. Old school Unix guys are the kind of boomers I’d probably enjoy being around and ask stuff from.
Imo Automation is good when done well, but if anything I’d say half the problems at companies I’ve seen - including my own workplace - come from automating things that shouldn’t be in some ugly way that inevitably breaks at the slightest change and that would work much better if there was just a person doing it manually instead.
