Incidents are storms, not moral failures ⛈️

Even strong teams get bad weather.
Blaming people for rain won’t fix the forecast.

Okay so you know, bunch of shitposting and all that, but a serious interlude: Someone pushed the button to start this rollout. They are probably having a _really_ bad time right now. If someone at Crowdstrike knows who that is, please go and check on them, give them a hug, tell them it's not their fault, that it's going to be okay. No matter what the company line is on blameless culture whatever, the lizard brain is in charge right now and needs reassurance.

if someone in your org deletes your kubernet THEY'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU and if you rebuild it YOU ARE THE MONSTER #IT #culture #BlamelessCulture #k8s #kubernetes

Yesterday, someone in our org deleted an entire production k8s cluster. Not a single container or deployment, not a server or node…just the entire cluster, poof, gone.

After we rebuilt everything, we held a post mortem where we dug into what he did, why he thought it was safe, and how we got to where we are. And yet, with 5 pages of notes on things we could change or improve, one thing was clearly not present in our list… 🧵

#IT #culture #BlamelessCulture #K8s #kubernetes

@gsuberland I was going to say just that: that this is not an individual contributors fault, is the whole process that failed. #BlamelessCulture works better for avoiding these kind of things.
