I thought it was Microsoft that was guilty for hiding a security update in the licensing portal!
MS sucks, but a manager can't change them. What you can do is to have good processes, knowledge sharing, and maybe even the balls to take down the entire mail service if it is exposing it to a hack and you need time to patch.
Why do people still use MS products in 2021.
Where are developers coming from that actively want to learn which hoops to jump through to be allowed the privilege to briefly use the hardware they rent out to Microsoft?
You mean sysadmins, not developers right? :)
I think that's what they're saying - that the problem is that there is a single "the guy".
Then it should've been "wouldn't have a guy for anything". The issue with funny quips is that if you don't do them correctly ambiguity reigns supreme.
I get what they're saying, but in the majority of organisations the persons who spends their entire day reading Adobe's EULA and counting Oracle client installations isn't considered the sort of role that anyone has ever considered needing redundancy or full time availability until this thing broke out.
I’m pretty sure he’s saying that guy is the problem for not being available and should be fired. The way it’s worded, it’s not clear who has the correct interpretation.
