• Datadog is an infrastructure monitoring tool
• intercom is user feedback/sales funnel service
• sentry is an exception/error capture service
• firebase is Google’s app development platform
• adjust is analytics/marketing platform

None of those are used to sell 3rd party ads and all of them keep the data for the companies who pay for their services (in this case ai companies).

I didn’t expect to defend ai companies, but this graphic is just stupid

If you asked people what day of the week it was a larger percentage would get it wrong

The 16% who voted “no” would rather pretend it doesn’t concern them. In a poll conducted earlier this year only 2% considered Russia Poland’s friend.

And people still get mad when we give honest feedback about compensation.

Shout-out to the recruiter who tried to convince me to take a 60k paycut because nobody will pay my current rate ( the one I was already being paid ). I strive to reach your level of audacity one day.

I’m guessing It would put you in the bottom 10% in the area mentioned in the job listing.

• The responsibilities are way outside of a typical it admin job
• Starting salary for a junior dev/sure/ops in the area is 90k+

Many years ago I got offered 20% over minimum wage to manage, among other things, all email servers of a large banking association representing >90% of a national market.

It was less than what a Tesco cashier was making in the area.

Statutory damages are 150k per violation and that’s how much music industry often got in court per song. This settlement would cover 10K books at this rate, they downloaded over 7M.

This settlement is 0.14% of what statutory damages would have been.

Fun fact: I do contract work for several tech companies and the one that pushes for ai use the least is an ai company.
