Work, brogrammers and consent 

Our server management company started running server updates without waiting for us to confirm the date and time they were running them, including reboots.

When I messaged them with "please stop doing this" they got all defensive "well we give you a week notice to reschedule..."

The lead developer of the auto-scheduling tool got on the ticket to tell me why I'm wrong

Now I'm explaining consent to a brogrammer that's supposed to be working for us. :thonk:

Granted at least one of mine is just about as bad.

@mawr Obviously the solution is to make our own awesome hosting/colo company with dragons and stuff!
