Yeah, that's the point I made to him. No-one's gonna come down on a junior for being slow... but it doesn't allow our manager to set the proper expectations with the higher ups.
We're supposed to be wrapping up a big application over the next couple of weeks, so it's important we're honest about what's left and when we'll be free to move on to other features. They don't want to hear on deadline day that there's still 2 weeks of work left ๐

The funny bit... we don't even have a bloody customer for this. We've spend 4 months building something for internal use and there's not a product that wants to adopt the service yet.

But you're one of the very rare managers that actually communicate ๐

I mean, yes, I'm an odd one because I've spent time in many roles and .... talking with people so I can understand how to work more effectively with them
deft pewter
We basically got to the end of the 4 months before they said it didn't fit their processes.
It's nuts. We built it to spec. Our architect had supposedly designed that spec with that product team. Now, they say the spec isn't gonna work for them ๐คทโโ๏ธ
clever mortar
Yeah, I've seen that before, it's one of the reasons I ended up sitting down with a dev one day and going right, so this is how we use that thing, and here's why we hate it
Their boss wasn't happy with me, because I was going "outside the system"
The devs hated me at first, because I was "interfering"
deft pewter
Nah, it's better to keep people in the loop. I'd rather know early that I need to change something than find out at the end after I've done it.
clever mortar
Didn't take long for everybody to appreciate the faster and more relevant feedback
Not just the usual that's crap that devs get, but here's why it doesn't work for us, this is the kind of thing that'd be better for us
deft pewter
This service is going to have a UI in front of it. They're starting to think about what the UX for that UI is (after we've built it...) and coming up with all kinds of suggestions that don't even fit with the architecture we designed. ๐
If we'd known these things at the beginning, it would've been easy to design an architecture that supported it...
Instead, we have a greenfield project that could've been well-architected... and we're already going to have technical debt when we shoehorn other crap in.
clever mortar
And here's me with my dev team going we're going to back this with Git anyway, so how about our first release just uses Git's UI
๐ค Sure.... it gets us off the ground faster
deft pewter
We're used to not working with UI's anyway. We literally build services, which is great cos I hate front-end dev.
clever mortar
If works, can make pretty later
deft pewter
The idea is that a bunch of products around the business for different market segments or different geographical locations were all building really similar stuff their own way. So instead, we build a central service that all products can just integrate with.
Hah. Someone else's job to make it pretty...
Yeah. International business that was quite siloed for a while. Went through massive restructuring a few years back and stuff like this came out of it.

It's hard to get people to change

Even in the UK, there's something like 4/5 different products that use our service and maybe the same again that use other services delivered by other teams in the same dept.

Well you'd have to be pretty naive to think they're 100% open and honest when they speak. At that level, a lot of it is politics. But he's usually pretty frank about stuff.

You're lucky. I've noticed MicroUSB cables tend to just... fall apart on a regular basis
deft pewter
Those Apple cables are the worst, even with the strain relief they started to include.

Animals !!! I NEVER had a usb cable fail!
subtle pasture
It's usually the cheap shit they include with phones that has issues, tbh
All of my Anker branded USB cables are fine
clear ferry
All of my "regularly used" cables are from aliexpress, the factory cables get relegated to static charger points around the house for static devices
subtle pasture
Oh, and if you want to bring "inefficiency in power-delivery" into it, a lot of USB cables are so low quality that there's pretty severe loss over the cable itself...
Which is another thing you don't have to worry about Qi. At least it's consistent >_>
deft pewter
How do those inefficiencies compare though?
Like... if I knew the cable might lose 10%, that's acceptable.
noble pivot
How do those inefficiencies compare though?
Thats a LOT on a eg 2m cable !!
subtle pasture
@deft pewter I've had cables so bad that they literal can't get a Raspberry Pi to boot reliably (v-droop of more than 0.8v)
Same power supply, different cable, suddenly getting 5.2v at the end...
subtle pasture
No, dude... that's a pretty awful cable
deft pewter
Good enough to power your production servers though 
subtle pasture
When you shove 5.2+v in one side, and get 4v out the other, that's some shit <_<
deft pewter
At least that's what a lot of HA OS users think ๐
subtle pasture
Fun fact: the higher voltages employed by QuickCharge are, in part, to get around cable losses from cheap cables
9v and 12v hold up a lot better than 5v

You are, quite literally, better off running Unifi off of a Raspberry Pi than you are using the official CloudKey
because then you at least get the option of A) multiple units for redundancy, and B) running from reliable SSD storage
clear ferry
but those same users will run unifi on a raspberry pi with the cloudkey and sd boot on the pi
and run 25 addons via HA Supervised

Most of the issues I see with CloudKeys are because of corrupt storage. They basically run from MicroSD

"Unplugged the switch that the single, non-redundant CloudKey was getting PoE from? Hope your storage didn't eat itself..."
@clear ferry Yeah, it became pretty obvious that Ubiquiti was shooting for home users when they put OLED screens on all of their switches...

because literally nobody in SMB or enterprise will be managing these switches whle physically standing in front of them, poking at a tiny OLED screen

hey guys, I've distributed my IOT devices over 25 subnets and 21 VLANs, but I can't seem to get google cast to work
my mom gets so angry when it doesn't work

To be fair, I can't get Google Cast to work reliably even on flat networks
clear ferry
I haven't had a single issue 
for over 2 years
both with Google mini \ hub and Ikea Symfonisk, plus my AVR and TVs
subtle pasture
I have an Nvidia Shield and a Roku on my network right now
Just tried to cast, aaaand... "no devices found, would you like to link with a code?"
Code always works, but it means having to have the endpoint generate a cast code
clear ferry
yeah, I've never used it on my roku, no idea how that works
and I've never met a person with a shield irl
๐คฃ
subtle pasture
The Nvidia Shield has a Chromecast built in
clear ferry
So should behave similar to my AVR
subtle pasture
Like, letting it go to screensaver literally shows the Chromecast slideshow idle UI
subtle pasture
Yeah, well, for whatever reason, can't discover it
It's on the same wifi network as my phone right now, and it doesn't pop up in the list of things I can cast to
But if I use a code to connect to it, it casts perfectly... so the two devices CAN talk
auto-discovery is just pants
Heh, just checked. Not only are they on the same SSID, they're connected to the same WAP, and it's still not discovering. Fun...
clear ferry
Is it pure chromecast or is it some 
Because like my onkyo I can read the Chromecast version on it
subtle pasture
Pretty much pure Chromecast. The Nvidia Shield runs Android TV
clear ferry
while my LG tv supports cast... it does appear to be something they made in a frankensteinlab
It might be running miracast or something
subtle pasture
So that's weird... tried from a browser, didn't work there either
Used the bathroom, came back, tried from the same browser window, and suddenly it can see the Shield TV
Phone still can't find it... and now the browser is back to not finding it
Just seems like auto-discovery is a shitshow for Chromecast devices
clear ferry
No issues here
Both on my old MSM466 and my newer Linksys Velop bridged mesh stuff
Sounds like mdns issues for you
subtle pasture
Except there shouldn't be any mdns issues if both the sending and receiving device are on a flat network together...
And why the fuck would it work sometimes, but not others, at random? lol
clear ferry
some APs do client isolation etc
subtle pasture
Yeah, not for this SSID
I'm well aware of how my WAPs are configured ๐
Time to dive into Aruba's virtual controller and see how airgroups are configured, I guess...
subtle pasture
Chromecast uses the DIAL protocol: http://www.dial-multiscreen.org/ for discovery and launch.
Chromecast doesn't use mDNS, so it's not an mDNS issue. lol
clear ferry
I was sure they used mDNS
subtle pasture
A DIAL client that wishes to discover DIAL servers shall send an M-SEARCH request as defined in Section 1.3.2 of [1] over UDP to the IPv4 multicast address 239.255.255.250 and UDP port 1900.

Since my Zbook g3 died, I want a Zbook G7 Firefly
only 1.4kgs with 64GB RAM and 10th gen i7

Lol, well, i got the Roku to be reliably discoverable, but the Shield is still MIA
This is after changing Aruba's configuration from "blindly pass discovery traffic" to "proxy discovery traffic"
Usually, the former would "just work" since it passes everything... not sure why having the IAP act as a proxy helps the Roku
What's also weird is that HomeAssistant has has no trouble detecting all of my ChromeCast devices at any time, but Android phones and Chrome browsers have all kinds of issues...

DHCP, LLDP, and CDP are all working fine, and are all broadcast traffic
I can automatically generate full network maps with the last two, which is fun
dusky plank
have you tried turning it off and on again?
subtle pasture
@clear ferry Yeah, tell VMWare to support LLDP already ๐
Their vswitches support CDP only
dusky plank
any layer2 vpns with latencies?
subtle pasture
Which is fine for anything using a distributed vswitch, though their utility is... limited
Gotta love trying to get back into your cluster after networking goes down with management on a dvSwitch...
subtle pasture
Seriously though, I've had to recover a cluster from that exact situation before. Wasn't fun
dvSwitches require vCenter be accessible to configure, but if the current dvswitch config makes it impossible to access vCenter... you're slightly fucked
clear ferry
But in seriousness, 99% of stuff I implement use svswitch on management through redundant paths (either via SR-IOV or dedicated 1\10G links) and everythings else passes dvSwitches, don't care much for the LLDP of the management tbh, that is seperate infrastructure
subtle pasture
The hosts will happily run the last dvSwitch config they were able to retrieve from vCenter, but you're still locked out
I always keep a standard vSwitch enabled for management purposes, but this (of course) requires additional physical ports on the servers and switches

dusky plank

subtle pasture
I don't really have a need for it right now, I swapped to Aruba WAPs
Also, there's no official build of OpenWRT for the EAP 245, so support is... sketchy
tp-link couldn't even get their uboot configuration right, so you need a custom version of OpenWRT that works around their shitty uboot.

and the documentation for this api is so wrong, I needed to debug multiple hours to figure out what the heck was going on. They fโin use PATCH methods instead of what they have documented (and should be enough): PUT... wth
and then their provided examples and testing interface for calls uses all Camelcase but in reality only lower case is allowed ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

Trying to figure out where I should place the release of this entirely self-contained chat client in my list of priorities. Is this interesting to anyone? All local, no cloud chat.
Survives reboots and upgrades.
Would this be something you might install to check out?

I thought there was already some kind of chat addon or integration for HA? Still confused what purpose it would be used for.
magic basin
Messages among the users. Notes on install. Personal logs. General chat across the house/network.
forest edge
just can't picture that many people in the same household using it in the extent to needing a messaging program built in
magic basin
Yeah. Luckily it was easy to make. I used to use https://chat.adamoutler.com?room=Home Assistant to crowd-source tech support on web apps previously. It's not a priority to release unless it's interesting to people.

There should be a recommendation channel for this Discord
I am looking for a recommendation for a short color changing LED strip with connection to HA. Thoughts?

Anybody interested in working on NEEO Smart Remote integration/flow between HA and NEEO?
NEEO is rooted and their is a community of users working on it.
An SDK driver called Meta has been created and Mosquito/Node Red has been installed on the Brain.

I'd suggest a forum post about it
deft pewter
I'll start the bidding at ยฃ8000.
clever mortar
ยฃ8K/hour.... sounds reasonable 
deft pewter
I was thinking per week... but sure ๐
I'll also need to be provided with a full set of the equipment in question for testing ๐
clever mortar
Eh, a consultancy would bill over that per day for their least experienced staff member ๐
winter wren

Lol just got emailed a rejection letter from a company I applied for 2 months ago. Maybe 3 months
Have a way better job now anyways, feel like replying with a rejection of their rejection letter
noble pivot
Hold up, you need to wait a few months before you do that ๐
hushed basalt
But... It'd be rewarding in the short term
hushed basalt
I got rejected by like 4 companies during my searching
And ended up getting hand picked for a way better company
It's like the golden snitch in Harry Potter
deft pewter
Feels good, man.
Got my current role because I was bored of my last one and handed in my notice. My boss's boss heard and did some job hunting on my behalf and set up a transfer for the role I'm in now, which is way better.
Left his department still, so it's not like he cared that he was losing staff... but it made me feel valued and it put me into a role with way better prospects.

Y'all searching for jobs
All my jobs since 2001 I've just walked in and asked
And got the job ๐คฃ
deft pewter
I just said I didn't search ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I'm searching again now but only because my dept won't give us permanent remote. And I think my director has heard that I'm searching, cos I have a one to one with him in an hour... he never does one to ones with devs ๐
winter wren
maybe he wants to tell you how much he apreciates you

I got an offer for a job outside the company in 2019, and my managers managers manager called me to say they were working on something 
deft pewter
I think the chat is basically going to be either:
Him: why are you leaving?
Me: I value my personal time and don't want to commute again
Him: ok, bye
Or:
Him: why are you leaving?
Me: I value my personal time and don't want to commute again
Him: well we won't want to lose you, here's a remote contract
And it's basically a coin toss. I have no idea which way I think it'll go ๐

be diplomatic
deft pewter
I know he likes me and I know he consistently gets positive feedback about me. He gave me a pretty substantial mid-year payrise last year.
winter wren
why u want to work remotely ?
deft pewter
Our annual reviews are scored, with bonuses and pay rises being tied to that score... I always hit the top band. Personally, I think he'd be a fool to let me go... but that's his choice, not mine.
deft pewter
why u want to work remotely ?
- I hate people
- I hate office noise and can't concentrate
- I don't want to spend 10 hours a week in a car

I've been top band for 14 years, I told them if someone else needs that bonus give it to them ๐

At home, I have a study I can work in. No distractions, no noise. Music when I want it, silence when I don't.
If I need to work with someone, I just call them on Teams ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Since I have two open job offers internally, maybe I should send an application externally too ๐คฃ

Our team even have someone that doesn't work in the same location, so every meeting is online. I don't need to drive to an office to do online meetings...
