        As a designer who turned into a developer, had to do minor server stuff, manage my own freelance projects and debug it all…

        I quit and started working in old cars and handyman stuff. Not a Luddite, but fuck marketing, temporarily organizing pixels, and spying on users for pennies.

      My 2026 update after the industry wide layoffs over the past couple years and continues with ai over leveraged taking more down with it would be sysadmin replaced with DevOps, qa and designer replaced with developer, and throw some infosec theater on at the end.

    As a network admin, the sysadmins are a bunch of fucking monkeys.

      Don’t be jealous just because we can do your job as well as our own.

        Pretty sure you got that backwards, bud. Everytime there’s a problem the sysadmins can’t solve they immediately blame it on the network. Then we gotta dig out our sysadmin hats and fix it for them.

          probably highly dependent on your work environment:

          • check with network: did you guys change anything?

      As a Sysadmin the network admins are constantly breaking our comms, so fuck is both, right?

    Doesn’t look like project managers come off good to anyone, then. Even themselves.

      For the last five years I’m been the one man show. There are only five sites and around a hundred and twenty machines. Really a low effort job truth be told. I’ve finally got rid of all the ‘managed solutions’ and things rarely break as a result.

    The “seen by project managers” row is so accurate it hurts. It needs to be updated with a caption that reads “chatGPT please tell me how to replace this person with a subscription”.

      I disagree. I am designer, project manager, QA, and Sysadmin at my small company, and I am the worst.
