In light of the Cloudflare outage yesterday, it is a good time to talk about how an engineer even begins to solve a problem like that.
When I was an SRE at Cloudflare I answered the pager hundreds of times, but nothing will ever match Code Orange or Code Red in 2023.

Look, I loved being an SRE. The shared bond and level of talent between these engineers is unmatched in the tech industry.
But we need to start to ask ourselves if this role is really the answer to dealing with all of problems in production. Because most teams are not Google.

Does anyone else have those days as a software engineer where you just walk away from your computer both amazed at the technology and the sheer amount you need to learn?

One of my goals this year is to work on my blog more. Well actually, it's more to write something in general.
I am open to suggestions but here are some topics I am currently playing around with.
1. What is it like to be an SRE?
2. What is "good" code?
3. Something about AI and backend code.
