Not OC: Just found this on my old hard drive while grabbing some other stuff.
The entire sys admin column is so on point!
As a sysadmin, I concur. Though the Neo panel in the bottom right should have also been another middle finger. If not that, then the Curb Your Enthusiasm meme where he's like "Fuck you, and I'll see you tomorrow" lol.
A fellow sysadmin, I thought we went extinct. I had to pivot to “infrastructure engineer” but it’s basically the same thing nowadays.
Job titles in IT don’t mean anything these days.
In particular, the term “engineer” has been butchered beyond recognition.
Wait so you’re telling me I’m NOT an engineer?
Agreed. I usually say developer because I view engineers as people who do actual engineering. I’m more of a plumber who fits pipes (pieces of software) together.
Digital archaelogist here.
Warm greetings to you from the Customer Success Evangelist.
I'm an analyst. I've never analyzed anything.
Not quite extinct, but endangered.
Thankfully there's been a recent trend of companies pulling back out of the cloud because reality set in and they're neither saving money nor getting a better experience than they had with their on-prem solutions.
So, if that trend holds, we'll hopefully go from endangered to merely threatened.
Didn't you guys morph into DevOps?
As a seasoned sysadmin, I approve.
Gosh the QA column is depressingly accurate for shitty game companies.
The best thing to take away from this meme isn't "lol QA dumb" or "lol Designers eat paint" it's "fuck, what kind of toxic asshole legitimately feels this way about their coworkers" and yea, they exist - I've met them. Don't be one of those assholes.
The "qa as seen by dev" pic should be this Jessie meme.
The QA as seen by QA pic should be this Dr strange meme.
Thank you! I squinted so hard. 😖
I feel like this one really deserves to be in there
this is how i see other sysadmins when they explain their 30yr old bash script that does everything.
Hey, that's completely unfair!
It's only 10 years old.
The lone wolf dev who hasnt been seen for 3 months explaining how the new microservices he created all integrate together
LOL. I'm assuming that would be how everyone but the project managers see project managers?
That's just how everyone sees the client
As a developer, I see sysadmins/devops as black magic masochists
I choose to take that as a compliment (if it wasn't). lol
As a DevOps guy, I can tell you we're black magic sadists. You should feel the pain. Not us.
I refer to our sysadmin as a BOFH and he doesn’t seem to mind. The younger devs don’t know the term without googling it.
The sysadmin column feels so right.
I refer to our sysadmin as a BOFH and he doesn’t seem to mind.
He's probably secretly delighted, although of course he'd never tell you that.
I sense a theme, when it comes to the sysadmins.
Having been a sysadmin you would be surprised at both the amount of times I had to explain why we couldn't just put an unprotected endpoint outside the firewall and also how much alcohol I drank to cope with the former.
It is like being builder to architects that think you can have a second story just floating in midair. I am baffled by how ignorant of the basics of infrastructure many developers are.
Obviously I don't expect a website dev to know the details of like iptables configs for load balancing with failover or whatever. Or even be terribly familiar with how to set up a production web server. I do expect people to know stuff like every computer on the internet is under constant attack from scripts. Or that taking advantage of peoples' trust and leaking their data is bad actually.
As a sysadmin, the sysadmin parts are 100% true
Only people I ever have a problem with are Project Managers. I have had way more bad experiences with utterly psychotic PMs than PMs who are actually good at their job. Everybody else is super cool, but I swear all of you are alcoholics. At least Sales pays for the drinks?
A good PM is rare because as soon as you get one, they'll get poached within a few months.
Or burned out because they get pulled into every project that's gone off the rails.
That customer is missing y'all.
As someone who has been working in IT for 20+ years this is completely inaccurate except for the sys admin column.
Is "IT" a general term for tech workers in some places? I keep seeing people refer to it as such, but where I am, it is a term which primarily describes networking and infrastructure professionals.
Yeah, it's a generic term here that encompasses most tech jobs
The great promise of the cloud was to outsource sysadmins to be Microsoft and Amazon's problem.
At the cost of getting new sysadmins who are less numerous, but ask for more money, and best of all, you get to pay Microsoft and Amazon to train them!
That absolutely was a huge part of the marketing pitch, but as one who supports his company's cloud infrastructure...
Lol. Rofl. Lmao even.
Maybe that works for places that don't have heavy tech needs. Maybe.
I feel like this is more "how we feel we get perceived by others" moreso.
I try and perceive all the members of my team as, well, my team. I heavily appreciate everyone busting their assess off and contributions.
However, there are folks on each layer that do actually treat others like this and I think we can all agree those people suuuuck.
Moar jpeg!
As a developer, the baby is how I see developers, too.
