Amazing talk by @fiftyvolts "Emergent Organizational Failure: Five Disconnections. "If you are not willing to solve a problem, you are just going to have it.” -Mattie Toia #srecon #srecon22

"It is always amazing when you see square wave graphs." - @nldesai #srecon22 #SREcon

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

"We have tricked ourselves into believing that errors are the currency of our profession." @nldesai #SREcon "We have reduced it down to a timestamp and a boolean... lossy compression!"

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

"SLOs are the Vegematic of the SRE world." @nldesai #SREcon #srecon22

"You should never surprise your cloud provider." - @lizthegrey #srecon #lambda

"This is just engineering, it is tradeoffs... You can't optimize for all of them at the same time." #srecon @caseyrosenthal

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

"The easiest way to remove motivation is to put paperwork in front of it." @caseyrosenthal #SREcon - The Success in SRE is silent.

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

SRE dilemma: "Nobody is going to thank you for the incident that didn't happen" @caseyrosenthal #SREcon

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

@caseyrosenthal #SREcon Speaking on: The success in SRE is silent.

SREcon opening remarks have begun! "I think we are going to have Hybrid Conferences forever!" -@Hkwaterhouse @srecon #SREcon

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

SREs are paving the way to the future. Getting my setup prepped for attending my 7th (or 8th?) @srecon !! This time as a virtual attendee of a now hybrid conference. #SREcon #SRE #SREcon22americas #remotefirst #hybridwork #remotework

Prepmod seems principally designed to first collect contact, insurance, consent in a HIPAA compliant manner, then book appt. Such design choices are fatal with "flash sales" (phase waves). Vaccine compliance 1, Ticket booking system 0. #massvax #COVID19 #maimmunizations

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

Mandatory vacation as a management fraud detection security control. SREs can leverage these data points as a reliability control, for both as gameday-chaos of systems and cognitive capacity restoration of the engineer. #SREcon #SREconversations @MissAmyTobey

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

Fight SRE burnout: Make sure we have everything available for our work. Sleep! Regular bedtime. Naps. Preserve your cognitive capacity. #SREconversations #SREconEMEA #SREcon #usenix @MissAmyTobey

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

SREs are conferencing remote... #SREconEMEA begins! @MissAmyTobey begins #SREconversations with a talk on burnout. Even SREs need to engineer our own personal reliability. #SREcon #usenix

...Put our sleep on a schedule.. Sleep is our highest priority as cognitive workers, because it is our primary way we recover cognitive capacity. #srefh
@MissAmyTobey

[JohnLuigi Giasi @giasi]

Short term replenishment cognitive capacity: Naps. Sitting in the sun. Meditating. Coffee breaks. Little things can "top off" but... #srefh @MissAmyTobey

@QuinnyPig of @AWSMorningBrief in stellar form this morning, especially namedrop and outtakes. #awsmorningbrief #DedicatedBurstable (Not as sly as "jithub" but made my drive in.)
