Truly enjoyed listening to this version of the Prodcast. I love @sfurino.bsky.social's passion for systems and how we can codify service expectations to ensure customer happiness (my paraphrasing, don't @ Sal).

Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

"If a dashboards takes more than 90 seonds to understand, it's bad" (from @sfurino.bsky.social) - That's actually a pretty good summary and a good rule of thumb to review existing dashboards and build new ones!

Hulu cutting out while streaming the Oscar’s in the final awards is exactly why reliability is the most important feature of any product. It’s necessary to be aware of how your uses experience your software and take automated actions in realtime to mitigate. #reliability #SRE #SLOs

Not looking forward to the next four years of waking up every morning and finding out how things are getting progressively worse.

This article is fantastic. Informative and also had me laughing out loud in the office like a crazy person.
Mickens’ Mossad/not-Mossad threat modeling is evergreen.

Wow he’s really trying to one-up Trump on the bronzer game.

Whenever I find my self talking with folks about how cold the weather is I Instantly view it as a challenge to see how many time I can quote Frozen before they notice or say something.

Remember it's not your engineering, product or business teams that set your reliability targets, IT'S YOUR USERS!

This is hitting me hard today.
i get asked a lot, “what do you want out of a relationship?” but

i think the real question is, “who do you want to be in your relationships?”

for me, the answer is that i want to be silly, and giving, and affectionate. i want to be gentle, and soft.

i want to be safe enough to be myself.
