Just skip it, 20% acceptance rate. I had enough at Snowflake today xD. Just don't do this bullshit problem.

Complaining time.

For those who didn't know I switched to Traffic team in Snowflake, which is very infra centric, so typically you don't write code at all, cause everything traffic related is already written, you just need to properly deploy and maintain this.

The typical approach for onboarding in big companies is to give you accesses, wait until you pass trainings and start slowly giving you small tasks so you get used to stack, projects, tools etc. For sure initial tasks would feel like you are put in dark room without lights and you need blindly to find exit from it.

I'm SO FUCKING TIRED, because it is already 2 months that I'm getting every single fucking new task (now 6th or 7th) that is COMPLETELY in different area, completely different repos, completely different shit with framework you haven't used before, language you haven't used before, 100501st internal tool you haven't used before.

In this endless DFS of exploring I want to fucking hit my visited set and encounter something that I saw before. I don't know maybe it is age, I"m almost 26, or what the hell happened, but it is very tiring for me somehow.

BESIDES that, I discovered that I don't know networks, not even close to the level our staff/principal engs know. Learning a lot of new stuff, and learning via LLM is also so fucking tiring. But there is no other way, all other ways are 3-4 times slower to get medium level of understanding and cover YOUR UNIQUE knowledge gaps that specifically you have.

So right now I'm pretty much studying fucking networks 4-5 hours a day, then studying our tools, stack and flows for 4-5 hours a day, and then that's it.

One thing about Ireland that you must know.
Until you get your PPS number (tax number) you are going to be taxed with 'emergency tax' which is more than 50%.

Enjoy.

Google docs ????????????? wtf is wrong with 2021 xDD

There is an interesting thing about Prague - you can see rabbits in the city quite frequently. I’ve recorded them a couple of times, and it felt really strange, because back in Ukraine you almost never see any wild animals in cities.

As far as I understand in Dublin it is fox, again, I think this is first time I have seen wild fox in my life

That’s why you should care about high availability, failover procedures, and having enough capacity in paired region/az.

However when I was studying this I never assumed drones being attacking infra 😆 maybe some nature disaster Idk

Did you have any incidents/outages?
Cause I have heard many “fun” nights/mornings from people on call
