Company reorg is nice.

You get new responsibilities. Oh you get to keep the previous ones.

Because nobody actually got reassigned to do the stuff you were doing 6 months ago.

@baloo The backfills will continue to be delayed until... I don't know. I have no idea what they're waiting for.

Me: sending the vendor a detailed reproduction procedure, taking 3-4 hours to complete.

Vendor: we plugged the unit it and it will work fine. We tested all 4 faulty units within 10 minutes.

Thank you vendor.

@kwf This vendor has been full of shit.

One of their support agent joined a zoom meeting where we could reproduce the issue in front of them.
The thing will output its error in morse code on a LED.

a month later, another support agent "We believe you can't read morse code".

"Please open the video attached 3 comments up, with the recording of the LED"

The company moved its C-suite 2 hours away from engineering/manufacturing to make sure to be able to make decisions with little to no influence from those pedants in engineering and folks being every day on the manufacturing floor.

And somehow, it still comes to a surprise that shit happens?

IEEE hands out copies of 802.1AR for free, but you need to register.
They will stamp the PDF they give you.

Are you allowed to copy paste relevant sections in code comment when implementing the spec?

@adrake that was sarcasm.
But yeah no. I don’t want to have to go to court to implement a spec.

I guess I’ll just link the spec and cite sections. But that’s not making it easy for reviewers, or future me to read the code and get context.

@baloo @adrake At least there isn’t this kind of question with IETF :D

Second coworker today to reach in my DM for advise on getting starting with rust.

I can't even say it's the holiday season effect, not all of them are in the US.

Asking for an mce: [Hardware Error] friend: What kind of routine runs every 2293 to 2294 seconds?
