Who's going to #srecon in Seattle? Wanna meet up?
reason I ask is, I'm good to drive down to Seattle after all given the state of uspoli, so I'm facilitating the #srecon open space / unconference on observability and monitoring with the wonderful Daria Barteneva! www.usenix.org/conference/s...

Who's going to be at #SREcon Americas in Seattle in a few weeks?

Just published a revised account of how I used Deep Listening to start up the talk on improvisation and Joint Activity during incidents, at SRECon23 Americas.

This was on the Learning From Incidents website, but it is gone. So I updated and expanded my story.

Very excited that I'll be speaking at SRECon in Seattle this year! My talk title is "Stop Reading Changelogs: Safer Kubernetes Upgrades with Simulation" (naturally), and I'm speaking on Wednesday March 25 at 11:55.

My #SREcon talk – The Computer Wants to Lose Your Data – is now up!

Lots of in-the-weeds details on how databases achieve durability and how small mistakes can turn into big problems.

Do I know anyone who's had a talk accepted at SRECon in the past who might be willing to share your proposal?

I am pleased to report that I did not catch COVID from #SREcon. One of the best big conference venues I've been in, CO2 levels stayed under 650 in the main keynote rooms and below 800 in even the low ceilinged rooms and expo hall!
