Yep, unrealistic expectations.

Or "you need a 12th gen i7 to run this thing"... the thing is a glorified Avidemux.

No, we can't get gigabit fiber everywhere. No, I don't care if your program needs it. Yes, the laws of physics are laws for a reason. Write more robust code.

As a software person i have to protest at being called out like this. It's the fucking weekend man...stop picking on me for just one damn day.

Ouch yeah that windows endpoint stuff is really rattling though. I get you just can't whitelist some folder without compromising security, but when the "eNdPoInt pRoTeCtIon" just removes dlls and exes you are compiling (and makes your PC crawl) you really hate that shit.

Right click? 40 seconds plz (maybe any of the possible contextual right clicks might be on a virus so lets just check them all once again).

At home I have an old linux pc, and it blows those corpo super pcs out the window.

Rant off :-D

Ah yeah, IT people are chill, always be cool with them is also a good idea, not their fault all this crap exists.

Hahaha! We've an "architect" who insists he needs to be the owner on the gitlab. My colleague has been telling him to fuck off for the entire week. It reached the point that fool actually complained to our common boss... The guy is so used to working as a start-up and has no fucking clue about proper procedures. It's terrifying that he could be in charge of anything, really.

I started getting messages every week from a carbon black scan blocking access to some npm's package.json.

IT just white listed files named package.json.

In a rapidly churning startup phase, where new releases can and do come out constantly to meet production requirements, this one size fits all mentality is impractical.

If you refuse to whitelist the deployment directory, you will be taking 2am calls to whitelist the emergency releases.

No it can't wait until Monday at 9am, no there will not be a staged roll out and multiple rounds of testing.

I am more than willing to have a chat; you, me and the CEO.
