Earlier this week I gave a talk at #SREcon in Dublin about "9 Things you should do when you implement SLOs". Had a wonderful Q&A session which seems to have helped others think about how to better evangelize Reliability and Observability at their organizations. #SRE #CRE #observability #SLOs

Every year towards the end of summer I get a bushel of plum tomatoes and make fresh tomato sauce. I look forward to it every year. The fresh, bright, and sweetness of the sauce brings back memories of youth and family.
A plate of penne pasta with a tomato sauce that has squash and onions. Ricotta salata, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes are sprinkled atop. A heel of seeded semolina on the side of the plate A large pot of crushed tomatoes reducing over a stove top with a food mill balanced on top of the pot with tomato pieces inside.

On the subway tonight when I saw this person with a bag containing approximately 60 heads of garlic. My first thought was "we could be friends". #nyc #subway #garlic
