100% My job is to stop the team from feeling all the corporate BS as much as possible. I'm an ex-dev myself so my job is to make sure they're OK and that thy're not getting pressure from stakeholders/PMs/POs etc.

A massive amount of tech managers have zero empathy sadly. But I'm the complete opposite. If anyone in my team isn't doing OK they just need to tell me, whether it's financial, personal, work-related etc.

I'm a dev manager... I have 3x4k monitors. I watch server loads, I watch the build pipeline and watch the commit logs etc.

Overkill these days, but I'm also a gamer sooooo....

It was a problem with early WD green drives IIRC. The power management was exceptionally aggressive and caused massive issues when put in to any RAID-like set up. You could override it though generally.

I manage a web dev team. We try to optimise as much as possible but then there's all sorts of tracking that gets tacked on by personalisation teams, opti teams, things like Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter/X scripts inserted too... It's pretty shit. And sometimes when things break it makes it super hard to debug too

To be honest I don't follow any sports at all, was just curious about what was going on. But you're right, speculation doesn't help anyone.

Completely agree. I will admit Australians are terrible at casual racism then when someone gets (rightly) riled up the response is "it was just a joke!" is super common too, which is just doubly insulting.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you should just use it at random and it's acceptable. As with even words like "queer" you should know whether they're OK with using the term to refer to someone rather than just assume they're OK with it.

I was surprised about "wog" too. I'm a Melburnian and reading some of the comments here just made me realise it could just be a Melbourne thing. A lot of my friends refer to themselves by that term and want us to use it too as a sign of closeness/affection.

I'd never heard Paki in Australia before either.

Really it's all about intent and intonation. Given what we call close friends and sworn enemies alike ;)
