Do I get to claim hipster points for having seen this band play in a venue in Hengelo only slightly bigger than the stage they are on now.

Loved the talk Kelly :)

Damn.. so many blog posts to write.. Currently working on the "Why Observability 2.0 is a game changer?".
But also making an outline for one around how SLOs aren't a failure of a team, but a way to balance investment in reliability vs features.
