Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I'm sure there's a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.

I guess DevOps or whatever the eff DevSecOps is

I’m the guy who helps our coders figure out how to build their stuff, our testers figure out how to automate their stuff, and help them follow good app security practices. Somehow im the expert in Java when they can’t figure it out, the expert in JavaScript, the expert in python, etc, based mostly on my Google skills. Luckily we hired someone else for Kubernetes because I just don’t have time to stay ahead of them. Today someone tried asking for help with Ruby and I had to draw the line

My manager tried to stick me on Windows when I started, but it’s really not supported for Engineering. Our products are all on variations of Red Hat and Amazon Linux, all our technical staff has Mac laptops, and management uses Windows for their presentations and stuff
