The whole purpose of unsubscribing from marketing emails is so that I DON'T get marketing emails... apparently @Citibank and @AmericanAir think I want marketing emails (sent as transactional email) to get me to re-subscribe to their marketing emails?!?!

With #Christmas around the corner, you may give or receive new cell phones. Please do not give your old, unregistered phone to a child to play with. Just because you don't have a cell plan on it, it can still call 911! #TuesdayTip #RedDeer911

Can I give a few pro tips to anyone doing a technical interview? 1. If the interviewer seems to be nudging you or asking a leading question, that's not a cue to shoot them down or ignore the hint. 2. Do not start talking and then talk continuously without pause. Ask questions.

Does SRE/DevOps count? I can’t stand coffee, smell or taste.

Using @grafana to dashboard your 2021 countdown might be the most SRE thing ever. This is what happens when you sequester nerds for a NYE party. With @TechyTy and @edarc

After being through a few of these changes myself, I wholeheartedly agree!! I nearly fell into this trap, and struggled with imposter syndrome with each change, but the feeling of powering through those feelings and proving yourself is so much more fulfilling than familiarity.

‘Separation/Segregation of Duties’ are not words I find in the regulations. Starts to show up in ‘Frameworks’ as a principle but not a prescription. The idea that developers cannot deploy to or troubleshoot production is a clumsy self inflicted interpretation. We can do better.

This sounds like a nice healthy on-call experience! My team operates similarly, though without the extra pay. We can take time off if we have a busy week, and my recent week on primary I got 0 out of hours pages.

@TechyTy @berislavbabic Agreed. It’s applicable to organisations of all sizes. Though it’s important that teams own their components and have the agency to fix issues to ensure they have a positive on call experience. Reducing on call noise/alert fatigue trumps feature work.

Some of the best Engineering cultures I've worked in had EVERYBODY in Engineering be on-call, all the way up to the CTO... because prod is everyones responsibility... without prod/customers, why bother showing up to work?

This is Kerith. She’s a fire department therapy dog. With more than two dozen major fires burning in California, she’s unfortunately been very busy. She meets her firefighters at the staging area and gives each of them a hug before they head out. 14/10 for everybody
