  • DevOps lead
  • Sysadmin > Sr SA > lead SA
  • Technical Architect> Solution Architect > Sr Arch > Enterprise Arch
  • Director of IT
  • Raising chickens

Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can't make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.

Same with managers. It's frowned upon, but don't let that stop you

One might argue that not eating them when they get out of line is what's causing all the problems

You're probably aware, but the product (eggs) comes from the same place as the shit. At least for chickens anyway, never seen the anatomy of a manager, but I hear they're invertebrates so it may be slightly different.

It's the opposite: your table scraps are their chickeny gold 🥹

I thought a lot about getting out of tech about eight years ago. I landed on becoming a history professor as the role that would be most fulfilling. I hated school and I would hate getting accredited, but I believe I'd be able to impart the joy of history to a handful of students. Too bad I hated school. I'm still in tech.

If I could swap to chickens, that'd be interesting. Buckawk.
