Unfortunately very familiar with them and their disconnected demands, just have never heard them called HiPPO before and now I have a new favorite term for the over inflated egos in management that make being productive harder.

While I agree in principal, speaking as someone who's been that person it creates a lot of stress when it's just one person. You never get a break from enhancing or fixing and maintaining the tools that the rest of the team is usi

One of the privileges of previously being an Exchange admin was being able to send the "Do not reply all" message and then setting up a rule on the server to kill all further messages. But it's also why I had a script to lock

Logitech still supports the Harmony devices, for how much longer remains to be seen. I just recently replaced some that had broke so I'm good till the next device failure as long as I don't make any major replacements either. I k

Ultimately it was the need to buy a new phone every couple of years even when I otherwise wouldn't need to that pushed me to Apple devices. I only this year had to replace my daughter's iPhone 7, but not because it wasn't su

I work on and off with both, AWS may be more feature complete in some areas but Azure is frankly easier to work with for me, I can actually get support on issues I have from Microsoft. And while I've generally only done so from the la

I'm surprised this hasn't happened before, @list.att.com is just a standard listserv type system, internally anyone can create and manage lists of email addresses with internal or external addresses in it and those lists are all o

I knew when I moved from AZ to NC I was going to miss Fry's (RIP), I should have checked to see if there were any micro centers within a 50 mile radius when trying to figure out where to move.

AT&T's billing system (Telegence) is so convoluted, even their own staff can't tell you what your month to month charges will be, it's why they only give you an estimate when you sign up for a new line.

I worked in an office bullpen type environment briefly with everything director and below being required to sit in the bullpen, and they were so proud of the set up till the nearly universal complaints of all the noise from everyone on the

Some companies like AT&T are taking this a step further. People who have spent their entire 20+ year careers working remote are now being told they must report to an office. And to address the inevitable hypocrisy of forcing you into a

I didn't mean aggregate as in summarized data, but aggregate as in a common repository of multiple different data sources as a single massive data warehouse. If I needed to group or summarize the data, I had to do it in my own queries

In multiple orgs now I've had raw access to data warehouses (DB2 and SQL Server based) that had aggregates of petabytes of data from ETL that I was free to access via Excel PowerQuery, direct SQL tools, Python or R, or even PowerBI.

Yeah, a common refrain internally was the I stood for India. I know the Kyndryl spin out recently made a decision that US based roles will be limited going forward due to cost goals and have been "workforce rebalancing" teams inst

There are a lot of US Restricted roles due to government contracts - I can't remember if it's a legal requirement or a contract restriction. However I do know it's not universal as less sensitive work absolutely did use off

Speaking as an ex-IBMer, even if you reskill they'll still resource action you in favor or someone younger and less well compensated because experience isn't on the list of check boxes they care about. All the talk about reskillin

That's kind of what HP NonStop is, a distributed operating system operating as a huge cluster. If you followed their coding practices and used their native libraries you could almost always do things like freeze a process, move it to a

The faster a web site asks me for an email address determines how fast I bail on even looking at their product/tool, or if I have no choice I put in a bogus email address to get past it, if it is one of those damn forms that sends you

I've worked remote now for 8 years, I do sometimes miss being in the office with the people I'm collaborating with, but it's not something I would want to do 5 days a week. I'd be totally fine with 1-2 days mandated in

This seems to be the real reason that AT&T is pushing RTO, including telling people that have worked remote for their entire careers and never seen an office in 20+ years that they must relocate to a designated location either by the en

AT&T had bought Vyatta before selling it to it's current owner, but I know they used a REST API internally when deploying it for 5G Edge use cases. It looks like VyOS gained an API in 2019.

Thanks for the insight, when I was with DTV our HP/Tandem rep always made a big deal about their footprint in AOL in what would have been the same time era you were there (mid 90s) and how they "created the internet you know today
