DevOpsDays. A few of my favorite things: tea, sailing, video games, sci-fi/fantasy, cello, birds, and stargazing. 🇹🇹

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.
1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate?
2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations?
3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision.
4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work?
5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?

a question for the people who write code for money:
if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

I heard a cat picture was a requirement so here is MG. She’s tiny but fearless.

As I am watching the livestream (shhh don't tell anyone) and @wiredferret.bsky.social just asked if it was anyone's first time at DevOps Days. I give you my tips for conferences I wrote after my first DevOps Days back in 2018.
