Seeing how every thread on /g/ is a general or a war thread, here's another general. Post a greentext story of your day at work or your job in general and how're things going for you. I'll start:
>work as a junior java dev in one of those 'flat structure' companies, making a custom storage system
>boss is a horrible programmer with a tendency to overcomplicate shit
>he's the lead dev on a huge, hopeless, overambitious project
>takes expensive shortcuts every time something should to be thorougly thought out
>turns out flat structure doesn't mean your boss can be your buddy, it just means they're too lazy to deal with management
>you also have to work directly with your boss with all the negatives it brings and more
>nonexisting morale, people quitting or asking for project reassignment
>I worked in a smaller project for a longer of my time being here, that had nothing to do with that shitheap and was actually decent but overall pointless
>suddenly boss reassigns me to do a Django project with a 2 weeks deadline
Had 4500 user passwords all set to 'August2017' by some IT company on a mutual customer in response to a phishing email, then after 300 users had been given their 'new secure passwords' they were re-reset to random ones, not excluding those already reset, and including service accounts for critical apps.
It's not a customer I'm involved with but the office was a bit hectic regardless.
>get up at 8:50 am, get dressed and junk, walk out at ~9:20am
>get into work, take a look at email for a couple minutes, get coffee
>pick up what I was doing yesterday, either working on:
> kubernetes deploys/services the new elasticsearch clusters, fixing up some relevant ELK stack stuff, doing some tooling/scripting to automate some of our workflow for all of this, help out the new guy with getting up to speed on submitting his changes and testing them
>work on junk & banter with with coworkers until a bit before 11:30 am and go get lunch for an hour
>come back and pick up work, might have a meeting possible depending on day of week
>do work until 4:30ish, if I don't have any short tasks I can look at in that time I start to wrap up and make sure things are good for the night and head home
>go home and play games
>keep in back of my head that eventually we're going to do hadoop/hive (preferably not bigquery) and that I should look up how to do most of the operational junk surrounding it but then not care because it'll be 4-6 months before we think about moving it in-house from GCP once its prototyped so there's plenty of time to look at that once we finish migrating the legacy elasticsearch cluster
Work is pretty chill, coworkers cool, nothing really pressing and being on-call is usually quiet so :).

I just spent 2 hours on the phone with a spic who had no idea how a VPN tunnel was supposed to be configured. Literally had to explain log messages to him. The worst part is this client is a bank. Don't worry goyim your money is in safe hands.
>Give an explanation on the ticket to the BA
>Turns out back end system on our accounting wasn't accounting properly
>"Is this a running balance or a rolling balance?" It's coded to behave both way at the same time
>They decide they're not going to make a decision and memory hole it
> move on to next ticket - "we need you to restrict access to this functionality"
> "You do realise this means that no user will be able to do their work if I do this right?"
> "Yes."
>Kek to myself, due diligence done, let's lose the company 1/2 million in lost opportunity.
I want to get a cs degree but I don't know what for
Like do I program, webdev or security (I think that's a thing)
