If your stuff is hosted and backed up by the same people, what happens if your account is randomly suspended or hacked or some other issue (like ai)?

This should be one of the first questions you get asked when you’re being interviewed for the position 2 to 3 levels beneath the position of ultimate responsibility. And if you don’t immediately have an answer, the interview is over.

Fucking idiots had it coming

It's an easy question to answer but a more difficult question to remember to ask. But I guess that's what those 2 to 3 levels are for 😏

Ooo, good point. Management can be shit a lot of the time.

But with all of those layoffs because of AI, those 2 to 3 levels get collapsed into one, and we’re left with the trainees running the show.

And here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
