    My CV looks something like:

    • Jr Support agent > Sr Support agent > Lead Support agent
    • Tech engineer
    • DevOps engineer
    • DevOps lead
    • Sysadmin > Sr SA > lead SA
    • Technical Architect> Solution Architect > Sr Arch > Enterprise Arch
    • Director of IT
    • Raising chickens

    Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can’t make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.

      I thought a lot about getting out of tech about eight years ago. I landed on becoming a history professor as the role that would be most fulfilling. I hated school and I would hate getting accredited, but I believe I’d be able to impart the joy of history to a handful of students. Too bad I hated school. I’m still in tech.

      If I could swap to chickens, that’d be interesting. Buckawk.

      Same with managers. It’s frowned upon, but don’t let that stop you

      You’re probably aware, but the product (eggs) comes from the same place as the shit. At least for chickens anyway, never seen the anatomy of a manager, but I hear they’re invertebrates so it may be slightly different.
