They generally let people volunteer to be on call. But since everyone wants their weekends and evening it’s usually the same person. One of the other devs and I have been on primary rotation for about 2 1/2 years now. It’s a shame more employees don’t compensate for on call better. And honestly our teams on call is not a regular occurrence it’s maybe once every 2 weeks we’ll get a call for something that’s a 5 minute fix.
I think they’re artificially stunting the field to raise their wages. For example in my city the medical school only accepts 11 people into the program a year. (With an average graduation rate or 3-5). My niece has been trying for 2 years and finally got in this last year. Even radiology is doing AI assisted diagnostics. Half my MRI’s from this year has Doctor notes and HealthBot (AI) notes attached to them.
~ I’m assuming other schools severely limit their radiology admissions as well. To keep the wages high and the field desirable.
My previous org had an on prem version hosted on a local VM. It was extremely fast, we setup another VM for the runners, and one for storing all the docker containers. The thing I’ve seen people do it use the VM they put their gitlab instance on for everything and ends up bogging things down quite a bit.
An example of this is under issue tracking basecamp is listed. Or under CMS there’s DatoCMS.
Traefik is absolutely amazing! And it seems like in the development community every wants to use nginx. But in my experience traefik is absolutely perfect for proxying with container deployed applications.
This is because they create another problem when anyone you talk to will say they have their password and just increment a number for every password change. That way they’re not having to remember a whole new password every few months. So there’s never much of a change in anyones password during these rotations.

My current team has a senior that has been at the company for 20 years as an Analyst, she can't write a line of code without assistance. But she's just buying her time. And we've got a few juniors/midlevels that could out code almost anyone of the team. But because they lack those years on their resume they're stuck in their positions for some time.
I think it's an odd situation to be in though; most companies seem to look at either years of experience or make you do leetcode/Fizzbuzz challenges to determine your level. Which how practical is LeetCode challenges in your actual day-to-day work environment?
A few months ago my wife and I had to do some stuff through the IRS. And in order to login through ID.me. We had do an actual video session with ID.me so they could see our drivers licenses, SSN cards, and a few background questions. In order to verify our identity.
It was a bit time consuming rather than just logging in. But with so much identity theft, I think something like this was inevitable.
The org I work for transitioned their Kronos from onsite to their multi-tenant cloud system. And it's been an absolute nightmare. Both software suites are a mess but transitioning to their cloud suite is like downgrading at least 10 years of upgrades.
I'm honestly blown away by the latest version, but what to wait to for the hype to die down and ensure there's no Quality issues with this years model as well. But it appears they may have taken a step back and instead of pushing aesthetics this year, they looked at what its users "want/need".
