My father, a construction worker, always laughs at how we developers have a destress time in the morning. Or rather, he laughs at how our days seem to start around 9:30 while most blue-collar jobs start at sunrise. That destress period is SO damn important. We needs our minds to be clear to get anything done.

getting paged was really hard especially when it is only happen on your day. Once I took like 2 day shift so I can swap it with someone else during actual holiday. The amount of issue happened during those 2 days happened outside working hours and actually in sleeping time. I recommend to not stay til midnight when it's your to take on duty call next day because next morning it's already yours and no one knows when shits hit the fan

The on-call thing made me giggle. I would've never thought that you guys get out on call. I work in healthcare so being on-call is normal. lol Makes sense though.
@airflow0 2 роки тому
Yeah, the random three in the morning calls in the morning really gets to you. Sometimes, they don't even tell you that you're going to be on-call, you're just expected to wake up at 3:30 in the morning.
@ThomasFoolery8 2 роки тому
@@airflow0 you guys better get paid well for that. A lot of companies don’t expect that from their software engineer. Or they only put the new hires on those overnight on-call rotations as a way for them to “pay dues”.
@airflow0 2 роки тому
@@ThomasFoolery8 I wouldn't put new hires on call. That's like having a brand new mechanic trying to fix a Maserati. We give a minimum of 8 months before you're able to serve for on-call. It all depends on what the problem is. If it's a level 1, then all managers and dev leads are called. If it's a level 4, only the person that's on duty will be called. Only really big tech giants have on-call duties, especially Microsoft. Our On-Call duties last one month per year and I absolutely hate it.
@ThomasFoolery8 2 роки тому
@@airflow0 right I’m guessing you use PagerDuty? I work at a hedge fund. Trading systems being down is very costly. Yet, for most issues we’ll train up some junior dev to go through the motions to fix the problem. They’d only escalate to me if it’s way outside of their scope. For overnight issues, our London office takes care of it. This is the least an international company should do for their devs.
@airflow0 2 роки тому
@@ThomasFoolery8 That would probably make more sense to do, but the program we manage is only worked on by our team, so there isn't an option to keep an oversea team. No, we use our own inhouse built system to manage all our in-calls. You know, build it once and not pay licensing fees forever.
