  • Policy is 7 day rotation, 24h a day. Must be available to respond within 30m.

    1. ~$800 US a week. More if there are holidays. Get paid even if no incidents occur.
    2. I get phone and Internet reimbursement that normal devs don’t get.
    3. There’s supposed to be a policy where if I get paged between 10pm and 6am, I don’t have to show up to work for 11h. It’s not strictly followed in my team, but I always try and get my value from it.
    4. 7 others, so I’m on-call for 1 week every 2 months.
    5. Job is US based, but company is EU owned.

    I’m an SRE though, so our on-call is different from on-call for our product devs.




  • Worf is really just a terrible father. Given how conflicted he is about his own upbringing on Earth, it’s pretty rich that he sends Alexander to live with his adoptive parents in Russia.

    Then in that DS9 episode where Worf and Alex are on ship together, Worf goes full warrior mode and pretends like he never had to learn his Klingon identity.

    I love Worf as a character, but I’m happy he wasn’t my dad.
