- macintux 8mo agoThat doesn't necessarily mean they're happy about Azure as a backend.
- debo_ 8mo agoI've been a software "engineer" for over 20 years, and my personal experience is that software engineers are basically never happy.
- VirusNewbie 8mo agoPlenty of happy engineers at the other cloud. :)
- kasey_junk 8mo agoA bunch less today than a year ago.
- homebrewer 8mo agoI presume you mean the Oracle cloud?
- direwolf20 8mo agoNobody is happy with Oracle anything! It has some users because it is free. It has paid users because Larry Ellison bribed the government. Nobody would choose it voluntarily.
- VirusNewbie 8mo agoNo, gcp. Was a happy customer for many years, now I work there.
- macintux 8mo agoTrue enough. The world is never as predictable as the computers we program, and the computers we program are never as predictable as we feel they should be.
- teej 8mo agoI’ve used AWS for almost 20 years and I can tell you it’s more stable than Azure
- VirusNewbie 8mo agoI have zero doubts.
- tbrownaw 8mo ago> personal experience is that software engineers are basically never happy. Being happy means: - you don't feel the need to automate more manual tasks (you lack laziness) - you don't feel the need to make your system faster (you lack impatience) - you don't feel the need to make your system better (you lack hubris) So basically, happiness is a Sin.
- pydry 8mo agoAutonomy, decent pay, non toxic environment and non bullshit job. It isnt actually all that much but most devs who have all of these I've come across are happy.
- jamesfinlayson 8mo agoAgreed. I've had this more often than not, and while every job has its little gripes, if I have those things the rest is well, just part of the job.
