nostr:npub1a4cfqcj5cq9qauuzz33rqq63kudnu6k7x4fe4xep93s7lu5hgk3szqt2kf the similar behaviour that does exist in trades can be seen any time you try to fix something in your U.K. bathroom - contemporary toilets that have the cistern built into the wall, or lack of, or inaccessible stop cock valves to isolate leaks and such like.

AHA! No, I get you completely - they'll make out like their system is the best / most logical and if you can't make sense of it, that's *your* fault.
I've encountered this temperament many times, sadly.
nostr:npub1evlasggt6pl44vxp49fns8cjy2xxqgfk6akqqrwkqa4rj588xmhqt6yenf it’s my favorite thing to say for more than a decade now that the biggest skills shortage in IT is that of pragmatism.
nostr:npub17vjhqu8nd8gk0uahk0mrek0605nycuz547u8nhwmp9xp8d3xc22sqtg088 Hope it’s not dangerously so. Stay safe.
nostr:npub1evlasggt6pl44vxp49fns8cjy2xxqgfk6akqqrwkqa4rj588xmhqt6yenf I suppose the issue in IT is there are always shortages of people with the right skills so it’s easier to get away with being sub par than as a musician.

If someone's a terrible musician, you just get a bad gig.
But if someone is awful at IT... well... *shudders*
nostr:npub1evlasggt6pl44vxp49fns8cjy2xxqgfk6akqqrwkqa4rj588xmhqt6yenf well it’s thankfully not the case that IT is a solo gig. Very few places rely on a single person, so there is always some self correcting going on. It’s a messed up industry though with its obsession with youth and novelty, seldom learning from mistakes and often reinventing the wheel. 30 years for me next year. Sigh.

I would have hoped in IT that if people were just blowhards that they'd soon get found out. But no? That's very dismaying.
nostr:npub1evlasggt6pl44vxp49fns8cjy2xxqgfk6akqqrwkqa4rj588xmhqt6yenf the concomitant phenomenon in IT is the sad folks who have every single AWS certification and more. They generally aren’t any more able to deliver solutions than folks with no certs but who’ve gotten real world experience.

haha - so you see what I mean? WHAT IS THE POINT?
On all the photography groups, it's the same: men wanking on about lens MTFs and *never ever taking pictures*
Does my nut in.
nostr:npub1evlasggt6pl44vxp49fns8cjy2xxqgfk6akqqrwkqa4rj588xmhqt6yenf same in IT too. All the gear and nae idea.
nostr:npub1evlasggt6pl44vxp49fns8cjy2xxqgfk6akqqrwkqa4rj588xmhqt6yenf lol I just saw the very comment on the very same FB group 🤣🤣🤣
nostr:npub1evlasggt6pl44vxp49fns8cjy2xxqgfk6akqqrwkqa4rj588xmhqt6yenf lol so tedious. Everyone has an opinion and a bad take and boy will they ensure you hear it whether you want to or not. The Behringer one on FB has fewer than average maybe but some are just 🙄
