If you are awake at 3AM sometime and want to really go down a rabbit hole start reading about TREE(3).

Biggest #SRE buzzword this year... "TOIL"

When did we start using this word instead of just saying "work"?

No need to reinvent the wheel yall.

That time period between your last interview and finding out if you get the job or not is painful.
This interview process I just went through though has been one of the best whether I get the job or not.

Recently took a "DevOps Test"...every question was about #Kubernetes
There are other tools that do the same thing... #devops does not mean "kubernetes".

Been going through the gauntlet of interviews for a VERY BIG company out of San Fran...On my 4th call Im finally told its an in-office role, am I open to relocating?
Im 47, established in the community, have worked from home for 7+ yrs, have a farm and retirement plans. Um No

When did Staff, Lead, Senior, and Principal become ways to differentiate skill levels? Can I have a guide to these because it looks like no one uses these terms the same or views the skills and pay the same for each one. 🤔

Hey @Porsche, the My Porsche app has been unable to connect for almost 24 hours now in a seemingly system-wide outage. Please get it fixed and do better in the future. #porsche

My CEO literally just said "low key" on a company call. 🙄
Grow up man. My highschool aged kids don't even say that.
He also says "like" 10k times during calls.

[Seth Floyd @setheryops]

@amysw_sec Totally possible... https://t.co/y3zQOVP36w

Knowing what you know now...how do you think you would do in interviews for companies that passed on you previously? #SRE #DevOps

[Seth Floyd @setheryops]

Yep....sounds about right. #SRE

When your Slack admin is a millennial. All I did was say "Good morning" in a channel full of developers. 🙄

[Seth Floyd @setheryops]

4 weeks out from being on call for a week...im already anxious about it. Being paged 30 times in one week is no fun. Not being allowed to fix things is worse.

What kind of technology/telecom company has a Chief Product Officer instead of a CTO??

I was told this is a new trend when I asked about that.

No wonder we still use Jenkins, PHP, and Puppet 3 🙄
