Thanks again for doing this with me, @esk! It was awesome!
The final look of #srecon
This was a phenomenal conference, and I loved every moment of it. Meeting all my friends in person for the first time was such a fun experience. Making new friends was fantastic too!
I know I didn't get to say goodbye to everyone, but I'm sure I'll see y'all again and I'm looking forward to it! I'm definitely coming next year, and I can't wait to see what's in store β€οΈ
I had so much fun hanging out with @shortridge today! It's so awesome to vibe and just chat about sociotechnical systems, security, runtimes, chaos, resilience, and so much more fun stuff β€οΈ
I think I accidentally got them interested in TLA+ too, whoops...
If incident response is a team sport, I want some cheerleaders in my next incident π
@norootcause is giving an absolutely baller talk right now. Lots of connections going off right now

"The one thing we care about is latency"
Yes! We ran into this the hard way when figuring out what worked for hachyderm.
Latency or bust.
@dmagliola queues are broken really means
A job didn't run...
... Yet (but I think it should've)
... So it's late (in my opinion)
Ergo, "broken"
Queues should give indication themselves as to what it means for them to perform as expected or not. The vocabulary we use gets us trapped in locally bad decisions.
@dmagliola Why am I making a story about obvious mistakes and telling you this? Because it happens!
A series of obvious steps can lead to things that look wrong in hindsight
@dmagliola answer to people sticking everything in the "important" queues: create queues for purpose, not for priority
@dmagliola "no matter what we do the queue problem keeps happening"
Lol. Yes. Too real.
