Best quote I have heard for a while, "psychology is more infectious than the flu". It's so true in pretty much all scenarios I can think of!

@vicnastea @NetflixEng Congrats @vicnastea, sounds like an awesome role. 👏👏

"Techno Metal" is a genre of music I had wished for and now found! I'm a few hours deep after a @YouTube short this morning ... boy am I able to write docs/blogs and musings at a new intensity 😎🤘

It's a major award!

@DCgubbins Nice one, I'd come and listen to your talk if I was going on the back of this trailer.

It's never great when you lose internet connectivity due to an outage in the area however credit where credit is due to @VodafoneUK my router switched to the 4G dongle and I can carry on with what I am doing (mostly video calls 😂) with little to no impact 👏

@vallard Could not agree more, a team in flow is a wonder (and produces brilliant things) and amazing to be part of one in flow.

The code review process plays an important role in a team’s ability to improve software delivery performance. What tips do you have about improving code reviews? What pitfalls can you help us avoid? https://t.co/rVTykzvm5T 1/2

I managed to make it to my first Google Next event and I also had the opportunity to present which was great fun. Tobacco Dock is London is a pretty cool venue.

I've obviously just hit the right age, weight and beard length (or potential because I just cut it back) with the right level of belly laugh because I've just been asked ......... "Would you be 🎅 for us this year?"

[🧠☕️ - Rob @SapientCoffee]

Going to Next London on Thursday why not swing by and watch Richard and myself share some thoughts on "Building fast, scalable, and reliable apps with Firebase and Cloud Run"?

If you are going I hope to see you and maybe have a chat over a coffee ☕️

[🧠☕️ - Rob @SapientCoffee]

It's my favourite so far and scratches so many itches 👍👍👍

[Richard Seroter @rseroter]

It's HERE. The 2023 Accelerate State of DevOps Report from @googlecloud is out, and it's fantastic.

Not only are the top-line findings meaningful, but the report itself is 90+ pages of deep analysis, and transparent methodology.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m IN.”
–@Nicolefv @MSFTResearch #DOES23

[Enterprise Tech Leadership Summit @ITRevSummit]

“The best advice I’ve ever received: If you find yourself fighting lots of little battles, it means you’re not winning the big ones.” 🤯
–@HanyElemary in his #DOES23 talk with @DavidStanke of @DevOps_Research

[Enterprise Tech Leadership Summit @ITRevSummit]

“Reliability can’t be taken for granted. There always needs to be a voice for reliability at the table. It’s why our @Google SRE motto is ‘hope is not a strategy.’”
–Christof Leng (@Moroquen) in his #DOES23 talk, “Ten Things We’ve Learned from Running Production at Google”

[Enterprise Tech Leadership Summit @ITRevSummit]

What are @Steve McGhee and @JamesBrookbank seeing with #SRE in the Enterprise?
• Enthusiasm > Successful Adoption of SRE
• Reliability isn’t the most important thing for everyone
• SRE is often seen as expensive or difficult to achieve (usually both)

“High performers who meet reliability targets are 40% more likely to have systems based on a loosely-coupled architecture.”

What a week at the @devops_research summit and @ITRevDOES. Such a great bunch of humans sharing knowledge, experiences and ways they have solved things.
I got to meet lots of people, new and old, in the flesh and had many funny, deep and enlightening conversations. Thanks you all

While I have always suspected if you don't do something you love and enjoy most of the time it has consequences I didn't realise the research has shown such negative consequences!

[🧠☕️ - Rob @SapientCoffee]

Picked this up while at #DOES and opens with;
"studies have found that workers who are unhappy at work tend to experience poor health at twice the rate of satisfied workers and that a lack of job satisfaction can lead to long term mental and physical health problems"

Wow 😲
