#SRE Is Anti-Transactional

An API for interfacing with automaters

Systems built by SREs are not fully autonomous on day one. It's iteration over time that leads to fully autonomous, functional, reliable service.

REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

This month I finished shutting down the last of Stack Overflow's datacenters. Here's some pics from the final days as we de-cabled, un-racked, and shipped everything off to the disposal company.

338 rural hospitals may have to reduce services or close altogether if the GOP manages to pass their Medicaid cuts in their Big (not)Beautiful Bill.

How many of them are in your state?

Is YOUR nearest hospital on the list?
Is a family member’s?

Dear Trump voters:

You all told me that Harris would start WW3 (not based on facts, just Trump's gut), and that Trump would never start an armed conflict in the middle-east (I said he was lying about that too).

He just started an armed conflict in the middle-east.

Feeling buyers remorse at all?

Dear Iran,

When you plan your retaliation for last night's bombing please remember that NY and NJ overwhelmingly voted against Trump.

Sincerely,

So Miller attacked LA because Musk stole his wife and Trump is bombing Iran because no one came to his birthday party. Men are too emotional to lead.
