      The secret to a healthy career in IT is to let things break just a little every once in a while. Nothing so bad as to cause serious problems. But just enough to remind people that you exist and their world would come crumbling down without you.

        Especially if its a system that you have told management needs to be replaced but they aren’t interested in spending the money…

    Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.

    Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

    My current company’s IT team does not know what CAMM RAM is, does not recognise an nvme ssd inside a laptop, and still talk to us like we’re idiots. I hope you guys here are better than them!

      CAMM RAM is nowhere near mainstream yet so that’s understandable. NVME should be known though.

      Don’t forget to praise them every day for your company not spontaneously combusting.
