Blog post I wrote for work and that came out this week, describing strategies for slicing up SLOs and their related alerts through deeper stacks.
It is inspired by some testing strategies, and also opens some doors to org-level negotiations in balancing performance and reliability in architecture.

Slicing Up—and Iterating on—SLOs
To make sure your team isn’t constantly alerted for conditions it can’t correct, start talking about unit vs integration SLOs.

I just wrote a piece called "In Praise of 'Normal' Engineers". (partly paywalled)
When people talk about world-class engineering orgs, they usually have in mind orgs that are top-heavy with the most experienced and pedigured talent.
This gets it exactly backwards.

It is SUCH a competitive advantage if you can build an engineering org that turns curious, hungry, hardworking NORMAL people into engineers who can move the business materially forward, every single day.
Your team is a system. Your org is a system. What does that system do to those who enter it?

Just saw this same sentiment in a "why do women in eng burn out faster then men" discussion. It's complex, obvi, but... childcare stuff is a lotttt
It’s not just the 7.5 hour work day. It’s the hour of house and child admin in the morning and the 2.5 hours of child and house admin in the evening and then there’s just 3 hours until bedtime. And then there’s all the jobs and house and child admin at the weekend. Rinse and repeat.
Repeat. Repeat.
Repeat. Repeat.
