I live in Tokyo. It's a very safe city and you can walk around even in the evening/night (maybe it's best not to at *LATE* night, but still) without many issues. Obviously, there's still "bad people" no matter

I've recently started dabbling in short story narrative writing as a hobby and I found a super interesting usage of dall-e is to generate certain art works or art style to draw inspiration from. For example I came up with [0] after wri

Are you genuinely asking what is the difference between having to occasionally fix an outage/alert from the comfort of your house vs having to consistently sit *in the office* dealing with all kinds of non-urgent task like answering em

You're not working overtime because you are not working your expected 9to5 duties. Overtime would be if you were actually sitting in front of your computer actively working on your project (coding, answering emails, bugs, feature reque

Does your salary normally go up in busy (non-overtime) periods during the day? Or do you, maybe, get paid a general smoothened out curve based on the average for your work expectations over a certain period of time? You get bonuses, raises,

> are you really on vacation? No Correct > you’re working. Incorrect Regardless, people *are* getting paid for their oncall availability. Just not at a full rate (or 150% which would be even larger).

I don't know about your company but that's how it is at Google at least. It's not escalating, it's asking for coverage. It's different. Escalation happens if you miss your pages or if there's a larger outage ha

That's why you are being paid for it. Just not your full/standard/normal rate because you are not fully working. You're just available to work in case of emergencies.

What a lot of people (even some working in devops) don't get is that pages/SLA metrics are a "budget". If you never get paged and your system never goes "down" (down = you need to fix something, not necessarily
