nice zarf sticker!

ChatGPT can rip my em dashes from my cold dead hands

can't forget about the disciples enforcing work requirements, too

Once at Senior level, though, it definitely becomes less about technical skills to advance to Principal/Staff and beyond.

I regularly quote @ntietz.com, who wrote: "Sometimes I joke that as a principal engineer, my main programming language is English." [^1]

For anyone trying to advance/break into SRE, I generally recommend this roadmap as a good starting point: roadmap.sh/devops

Naturally, I don't agree with everything there (e.g. I view SRE as an implementation of a "DevOps" culture), but it's useful for getting to SRE I/II/Senior.

My best guess is that this is due to the larger industry trend of conflating SysAdmin and DevOps (it's own meaningless term now) with SRE.

The ASDF compatibility is really nice, too, for making sure everyone is using the same tools/versions in my team's repos.

Also, to clarify: I want TOTP-based 2FA not SMS only
