@cwgabriel Amazing - there are some great characters and I'm a huge fan of 'believable' dystopia. 28 Days Later is probably my favourite movie. Ever fancied sketching the Silo?

@cwgabriel You gotta read the books! One of my favourite sets - thankfully sounds like they have done a good job with the show

@GergelyOrosz Better way is to empower teams with the information about how much they spend. We do cost allocation at the squad level for AWS, NewRelic and Databricks...more often than not, squads just fix it themselves and keep simple costs low

The way cost reductions work at almost all companies: - Sort by monthly/annual bill - Project to reduce the top 3 highest spend by at least X%. Or if the amount feels outlandish/hard to justify vs eg usage, consider another vendor or build in-house (really!)

What are some examples of tech companies that are doing >$50 million in revenue, with double digit YoY growth, and don't have a hiring freeze? Public / private doesn't matter, location doesn't matter.

@caseyrosenthal @Skyscanner does a 5-week paid leave after 5 years of working there. You soon find out the dependencies when folks aren't coming back for over a month and get the time to fix it. Great perk and adds a bit of resilience.

I've been asked A LOT of questions about Chaos Engineering over the years, and #3 FAQ is "Have you ever considered doing Chaos Engineering at an org level? Like just have some people not show up to work and see what happens?" Well, this week Twitter is relevant to my interests.

@QuinnyPig @iAmTheWhaley @samnewman Hey - been running out own NATs at Skyscanner for years, with an auto failover to managed NATs in the event of problems. Happy to chat if you are interested - technical or cloud economics of what we've saved...

I cannot even login to cancel this shitfuckery. I just get a 500 error when selecting the company account I created back in 2014 and never used. Good luck with the chargebacks FogBugz.

@jchyip The way AoA articulates clear kneejerk reactions, explains why they lead to wrong behaviours and gives alternatives that seem obvious (but not always when you are in the situation) is genius. Simple yet incredibly effective
