Magdi talks #BizOps here, but IMO the thesis applies to IT Operations too, esp. #DevOps #SRE #CloudOps.

#ITops has flirted w/ new approaches for years, mainly in service to DevOps.

#IT needs more focus on a #NewOps approach that embraces the post-pandemic #FutureOfWork.

Another really disappointing thing I see in SRE job posts is the desire that you will Automate All The Things (actual phrase) or one of my favorites so far: "remove the need for human intervention as much as possible".

I want to apply just to give them a copy of Bainbridge's Ironies of Automation. Wikipedia article says it all:

I might work on my new website today. I want to bring the idea of Practice of Practice to more people.

It won't get me a job, probably, but maybe I can start to do some consulting? I am just... so bad at social interaction when I am by myself. I really need to work in a team. But the universe doesn't seem to want me to do that.

I have been casually hitting up some consulting companies in the field about my ideas. Nobody is doing this. Plenty are building new tools and platforms, nobody is teaching people how to work together.

“when catastrophe turns the corner, and visits our system, who is frequently involved? Again, someone taking actions which make sense to them at the time: pedestrians jaywalk, and engineers hit return.

I just learned a great #Ansible trick. Maybe y'all already know this, but just in case...
If you have playbooks that have multiple plays, or that import other playbooks, and you don't want to waste time repeatedly gathering facts from the same hosts, you can do this at the beginning of any play:

- hosts: [whatever]
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- setup:
when: ansible_date_time is not defined

This makes the play gather facts only if needed.

Controversial inside-baseball tech opinion:

With hindsight, one of the reasons I became disillusioned with #SRE as a job role and ran away screaming from it, to the tune of a 30% pay cut in base salary alone, is that SRE is pointless.

Completely and utterly pointless.

Low latency and high availability is only needed because of how centralized everything is in Silicon Valley. Our reaction to noticing that individual hosts are single-points-of-failure was that we grouped them together into vastly larger single-points-of-failure called "datacenters". And then we tried to make them never fail by undoing that centralization, but in only and exactly the ways that the profit motive would permit, which is to say: none of the ways that mattered. (When's the last time you successfully used a mobile app while in airplane mode? Recently? Of course not, that would give you an ad-free experience.)

At best, me and my colleagues were the US Army Corp of Engineers building a vast system of dams and reservoirs in the 1920s and 30s, heedless of the ecological devastation we were inflicting by blocking rivers and draining wetlands that had been controlling floods for thousands of years.

At worst, to reference Douglas Adams, we were the telephone sanitizers lining up to board the B Ark.

You know, I say in my bio and #intro that I used to work in #tech, but I haven't really actually said very much about what that was aside from comments here and there on other people's toots. (Edit: oh, and boosts are appreciated but not requested of this.)

So, here's a brief summary: I worked on two things primarily in my former career. The first was observability (more traditionally known as monitoring) systems, and second was realtime stream processing systems. In both cases the systems were
BIG. Like, big. No, bigger.

The
#observability systems processed hundreds of millions of datapoints/second, and the stream processing systems did terabytes/second of data. They were both globally distributed with the core backends running on thousands of machines collecting data from fleets of millions of machines. Because of the scale of them, I used to joke that I didn't count in anything smaller than a petabyte, which was honestly more true than joke.

I did a lot of different things while working on them from core engineering (I'm even academically published despite never having attended college, which is quite point of pride for me even years later,) to product management for the user interfaces for them, to
#SRE type work.

As I find ways to talk about what I did more obliquely, I hope to muse on this stuff more because I still find it really cool to think about even though I've left the industry to make porn instead.

I had Covid-19 a couple of months ago for the first time, and while in my recovery state, I started watching Grey's Anatomy, which my friends have had a lot of fun teasing me about. I'm still going through it now (there are a lot of seasons), and it only just struck me this morning why I might still be guilty-pleasure watching it... The hospital is a lot like IT engineering groups. There are those that show empathy for the patients (users) than others. There are those that are almost single-mindedly focussed on the deep technical challenges (jargon, processes). There are those that take risks and are celebrated when they succeed. And, there's the need for being on-call and responding with calm in emergency situations. The list goes on... I guess I'm enjoying it as a parallel to the work that I've done for many years and the types of engineers I saw. (Note that I'm not comparing saving lives through tricky brain surgery as equal to ensuring that mail servers are running smoothly). It makes me ponder what each industry could learn from the other. One is that there appears to be a systemic and formalised path for juniors (interns) to be taught and grown to higher skill levels. I've done a lot of mentoring in my IT career, but I don't think it's nearly as common as it should be. #medical #engineering #sre #greysanatomy

If you don't have anything better to do (and even if you do!) Check out #SLOconf23 because it's awesome and I have a talk in it!

It's free, it's cool, it's got all the talks available on YouTube so you don't even have to shitpost in slack (although I'd love the engagement tbh)

My talk is on Motivating SLOs Mathematically and it is DERANGED in the best way possible

Alright for config management what've we got that people like besides:
- Puppet
- Salt
- Chef
- Nix/Guix
- Ansible (barely counts)
- CloudInit (barely counts)
- /bin/sh (blessed? cursed? you decide)

I loved the opportunity to share my wisdom with such a thoughtful, engaged audience (and to meet likeminded nerds like @hazelweakly!)

I sincerely believe #SRE and #platform engineering teams are critical for sustaining software #resilience (and #security).

PS if you vibe with my talk and this thread, read my new book: https://securitychaoseng.com
