And while I'm having a whinge, I know that the term DevOps is practically meaningless these days, and has never really been a job title, but why would a Lead DevOps Engineer have the hard requirement of “you MUST come from a development background”.

Tell me you don't know what DevOps means without telling me you don't know… ;-)

It baffles me that one of these hasn't been invented yet that will last longer than 10-12mo, the amount of e-waste from these things is disgusting. I will pay *double* for one that I dont have to toss so often.

Bill Cosby free and going on tour, trump still free and running for election again. It would be nice if cancel culture existed in more meaningful way than maga fantasies. #ThursdayRant

You know in #Development programmes and #Humanitarian aid if we measure an organisations’ performance using crappy metrics, we are going to have crappy results.

One of these has become “reach”.

The number of people reached with X where X is some vague thing like health information is so disappointing as an indicator of impact.

It’s lazy, covers too many things of varying and often negligible quality, and is rife with double counting nonsense.
