At one of my prior positions they outsourced all the junior engineers to this firm that only had windows desktop support experience.
Actual escalation I got:
contractor: I am trying to remove this file that is filling the drive but it won’t let me
me: show me what you are doing.
contractor (screenshot): # rm -f /dev/hdc
another one did rm -rf /var to clear a stuck log file, which at least did solve the problem he was having.
After that I sent out an email stating that I would not help anyone who used he rm command unless they consulted with a senior first. I was later reprimanded for saying I wouldn’t help people.
sudo chmod -R 777 /It’s safe because it’s sudo! Like sudo rm -rf /*

I’ve heard that before. “No. I won’t close the circuit breaker while you’re holding the wires.” “Boss!..”
You won’t be able to do certain things. Either .ssh or ~ expects certain exact permissions and pukes if it’s different, IIRC
Yep. I fucked up once when I meant to type chmod for something but with “./” but I missed the “.”. It was not good.
utter nonsense of the deranged
It’s my computer, I’ll read and write what I want
