The... Crowdstrike Issue Is Not Being Resolved... At All...

The... Crowdstrike issue is not being resolved... at all...

The issue was not a bad update.

The issue was no testing. Pushing late friday. Pushing to all users at the same time.

And that is the easy-to-get-right stuff that we can see. Most likely the firm is a complete fucking from top to bottom. Because it basically have to be to let something like that happen.

And that is not getting fixed. Not for Crowdstrike or the tech industry in general.

Hell, the CEO of Crowdstrike have had THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM with lack of testing and structure in previous firms he have been CEO of.

But since his strategy of removing all safety and structure makes money in the short term, IE is good for stock owners, IE the already filthy rich, he gets to keep being CEO of important firms.

NONE of that is getting fixed. We got solid proof that the biggest danger to modern infrastructure is not hackers or the people all the invasion-of-privacy tech and laws target.

It is the massive for profit organizations with root access to everyones machines. Meaning the laws and tech that are being rolled out RIGHT NOW to spy on everyone and gain access to everyones machines is not only sacrificing privacy. It also makes you LESS safe.

But that lesson is not allowed to be learned. So we have done nothing about this, and we will do nothing about this.

the crowdstrike catastrophe is getting resolved but the intel 13th and 14th gen CPU nightmare is just beginning. damn

Honestly, how I learned was via make.

Like... you can easily find compleatly incomprehensible make files that automate everything.

Those you can use, but they are not how you learn.

How you learn iz by doing it very very copy-paste of the lines toh would write to the compiler in a shell. Most basic one with a single .c file would be:

gcc main.c

Then figure out what arguments to add to it to make it how you want. Name the output file. Have the source file in a different folder. Have the ouput be in a different folder.

You now know how to compile a single file by using a shell

Now. Create a make file. Simply have it call exactly the same thing you wrote in the shell before.

Then figure out how to compile a main file and a file with functions and a header. Again, first just by using a shell. And then build it into your build file.

This is not too hard. There are plenty of guides and examples. It is fun exploration where you get your hand dirty and you will learn a LOT about how coding projects and IDEs work.

A programming IDE is just a text editor and make file builder with a pretty GUI on top

It is not magic. And it is not even that complicated.

Sure. Automating it and making it solid and taking all the things that may change into account so it can be generic is hard

But creating a make file that will compile YOUR project? Not hat bad.

never learning how to properly handle multi file c projects is finally catching up to me and stabbing me to death with linker errors.

Wooooo!

Endless congratulations!

May you learn loads and loads and find it wonderful and interesting! :D

I am officially a frontend developer 🥳✨

I still can’t believe I’m in the tech industry now 😭🤍🤍🤍

One step closer to software engineering 🤍🤍🤍

This role doesn’t give good 💰 but the tech experience is what I want right now.

And I will keep searching for better jobs but for now, that's better than doing nothing.

2025 will be the year of backend and software engineering and also studying business more 👩🏻‍💻✨

Burnout should... not be a thing that happens to you very often :s I hope you meant it more as "When I am busy" otherwise you may want to avoid to limit whatever gives you burnout if possible :s I hope I do not sound preachy. I say it because I am worrying because you seem nice, not because I want to dictate to you how to be, or pretend I know your life and situation. I DO like a mid day nap around 12 if I can get away with it. I will sleep under my desk if need be. But they are usually 30 min or so Means I am way more productive the last half of the day

Do any other autistics nap like...a lot?? On the weekends, I can easily nap 4+ hours and then still go to bed on time.

When I'm in burnout, I sometimes can nap repeatedly and then go to bed on-time.

It is a cheap attack on nonmonogamy. I have also heard "ethical polyamory. When I asked what the heck that was, I was told "polyamory but where everyone involved is consenting and in the know".

Basically the idea being made is:

Monogamy is ethical, normal and good by default.

But non monogamy is corrupting, unethical and destructive by default. So you MUST specify that the one you are talking about is ethical. Because he default is unethical.

In short, it is bullshit

The term "ethical nonmonogamy" confuses me. Like is that just a weird way of saying polyamory/dating but not having sex monogamously or is it something else and I'm totally off base?

It have been a stupid and outdated thing for more than a decade.

It is a security measure that relies on humans being 100% reliable and able to generate passwords with no patterns.

Meanin, it does not work. Any place that requires this have people who decide security policies who knows nothing about security and are not in contact with the security community

I fucking hate forced password rotation, and I have no proof for this (personal speculation) but I think it's probably a shitty security measure.

Like. I only have so many passwords in me. If you force me to change my password every couple months then eventually imma give up and start coming up with ones that barely fulfill the password strength requirements just to get that shit over with.

Like idk from a data security standpoint I think it's probably better to have your employees stick with one good password than go through six mediocre ones a year.
