@themortalemily So sorry you needed to deal with this! Your talk was amazing and I loved the energy and insightful approach you had into something very few (or no one?) would look at from SRE perspective. And Jeli booth was awesome in all aspects!
Ladies SRE at #srecon! With my dear friends and co-chairs of SREcon21 @reesencybias and @van_yiu and my Lightning Talks co-chair for SREcon19 EMEA @manjiki
@ahidalgosre @wyndigo Maybe we can have a quotient of automation value add and cost considering not only time saved, but also social aspects, impact on cognitive load, maintenance, automation platform upgrades, documentation, frequency it runs, etc…
@ahidalgosre @wyndigo Also automation may help to reduce cognitive load or instead add additional layers of complexity preventing effective diagnostics of the problems. It may help to reduce toil, or add to the siloed knowledge if poorly documented or non standardised
@niallm@nukemberg@SREcon@usenix That is my understanding as well - no workshops this year. But we will check with @usenix and get back to you if we find out otherwise!
Your attitude and the potential to influence and inspire the rest of the team is much more important than the number of coding languages you can write “Hello world” on
When you need to do something that requires a lot of focus and time (hours/days) - it maybe hard to start, so you keep #procrastinating. What I do is to tell myself I’ll only do 30 min of it and define what exactly I’ll do. Usually that’s enough to start and spend hours on it!
If you are in a search for a new role, don’t just look for roles that map to your past experience. Look for roles that will help you to develop new experiences - think about your potential to grow and learn in the new role and if it will be fun to work with the new team
