Yeah they need to start rotating egress ips regularly. It’s a cat and mouse game

I want to know who finally called it out? What person was like I know that place! We all know a Karen (male or female) is who eventually pulled it, but what person originally admitted to knowing it?

She’s built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro

Did a takehome for a company recently that did it well. They required that I make a docker file (you could give them one if you wanted) where when ran it would run tests. It was a neat use of docker IMO, it standardized that builds were just “build the docker file” and running was just “run the dockerfile”. You would t have to deal with tar or anything then.

Thousand ways to skin a cat there

Ha, thank you phone autocorrect. Keeping it there though.

It’s been almost two decades, I’m pretty sure it was a settlement though.

New a guy who did that, well had his foot out the window of his truck, rolled it, shattered and crushed his leg. He sued to truck company… And won. (Or at least settled)

And then he bought trucks for his family. Yes from the same company.

I get that. As another example, here where I live they made non compete contracts illegal, but I still sign one every time I start a new company. I assume they aren’t enforceable at all, but knowing lawyers they will argue some other loophole at me. For me it’s just not worth the risk of possibly needing to pay for lawyers

Not surprised, but they’ve been trying to do this for a decade. While AI is creating AI slop all over the internet they’ve been all too distracted to build anything meaningful and real robotics for a while. I’m sure they’re getting really close at doing a few things, but humans are complex things. I’ll believe they’re close to doing this when they release self driving cars out of beta.

Of course, and I think everyone has to decide what their line is, their own personal Rubicon and if they have crossed it or not. Those lines can shift too, a company that was okay last year may not be this year. It could be that all of a sudden you find yourself doing things you wouldn’t have dreamed of 5 years ago. Maybe it is time to look for a new role. It’s completely a personal decision.

The blind “Just quit your jobs” is what annoys me, and doesn’t add anything valuable to the conversation.

Enforceable is a level of risk that we can’t decide for the OP. If there is any chance of enforcement that is a chance of them taking credit for OPs work, or other financial issues. Not to mention lawyers are expensive, even if it’s not enforceable, is OP willing to pay for legal fees to prove it?

Personally, even if it’s not enforceable and they’re completely morally justified the question remains, why open yourself up to any risk at all by using company equipment when you can literally use any other computer to do the work?

You’re right. Small steps matter, and I’ve made plenty myself to live and work more ethically. But that’s not what your original comment said. You said:

the ideal scenario would be that you exit that situation as quickly as possible

You suggested an oversimplified binary situation. That’s simply not realistic for most people. Suggesting be a half-ass employee isn’t meaningful advice either.

A better way to approach this is to recognize that everyone has a moral line they need to define for themselves, and to regularly reflect on whether their work crosses it. If it does, they can decide whether leaving is feasible, or start moving toward something more aligned with their values.

“Just quit your job” is not an answer. As The Good Place illustrated perfectly, modern life makes it impossible to be entirely moral. They highlighted that by buying a simple tomato you are indirectly supporting big farming, greenhouse gas emissions, unfair labor practices, even slave labor. By participating in society at all you are an immoral person.

So yes, we should all try to do better, but we also need realistic paths, not platitudes.

But as we will see for so many others here, there are no moral companies, and even if there are no one is hiring.

So yeah, I could be completely moral. Lose the house to the bank. Not be able to eat. Not be able to provide for my family. We’d be destitute but I could confidently tell you that we were moral. What a win that would be.

I mean, I’ve just worked at multiple international companies while residing in multiple countries and each one has made me sign this. It’s a no brainer. Don’t use company equipment for personal projects.

Unfortunately that’s what they want to do, they obviously know it’s wrong otherwise they wouldn’t have hidden that nugget in another comment.

OP buried the lede. They want to use company equipment to code the oss project.

Bad idea from the start. Anything you make on company equipment belongs to the company. You signed and approved that. Changing that only opens up liability for the company and so even if they do approve it it will be worded against you. If you push anyway to the open source project then that opens the door for your company to attempt to claim ownership too. All around it’s a lose lose situation for you, and the project.

Coding does not require a supercomputer. Go pick up a used laptop somewhere and do the work off of that.

Whenever I hear ghosted what I actually see is they were too afraid to have a conversation. They think it hurts the person’s feelings less. It doesn’t. If anything it leaves them angry and confused.

[email protected] is a bit more active if you want to cross post there. (But no I haven’t seen it, but it’s on my watchlist)

He was definitely prejudiced against her and made assumptions about her family, and agreed it was only after making amends did he have a chance with her again. I liked that while he obviously did it to pursue her, it wasn’t a desperate attempt or anything, and he was still nervous it’d be a no. And if it was a no, I’m very certain he would have left her alone from then on out.
