@themortalemily So sorry you needed to deal with this! Your talk was amazing and I loved the energy and insightful approach you had into something very few (or no one?) would look at from SRE perspective. And Jeli booth was awesome in all aspects!

We learned a lot only having women staffing our booth, and we’ll change how we manage this for ourselves/each other in the future. But from here on out let it be known: if someone says “well it was good talking to you, enjoy the rest of the conference!” It’s time to disengage.

Ahhhh why not, it’s been a week, and I’ve gotten some distance from it. This tweet is about me! I gave a talk about how there are no repeat incidents, and how you have to actually talk to people to learn the nuance between similar events. 1/8

And it is a wrap! @niallm @DashaRV Thank you for a wonderful #srecon @usenix

Ladies SRE at #srecon! With my dear friends and co-chairs of SREcon21 @reesencybias and @van_yiu and my Lightning Talks co-chair for SREcon19 EMEA @manjiki

@nukemberg and @manjiki waiting for the session on The Math of Scalability to start at #srecon

We got caught while working on closure remarks for #srecon with @niallm

@norootcause @_pkill @BlakeBisset @msuriar @EmilStolarsky hmm?:)

People I've seen IRL for the first time here at #srecon include: @_pkill @BlakeBisset @msuriar @EmilStolarsky

@tmu @niallm 3. ML doesn’t “solve ALL our problems”:)

@niallm Reply to this thread with: * Your top 3 problems with Machine Learning (real and wrong answers welcome; points for insight but also obviously for humor because in these trying times humor matters a lot). 2/3

SRECon22 Book Giveaway! @niallm and @tmu are giving away *signed* copies of Reliable Machine Learning at SRECon22 Europe! Books to be given away during the first 30m of Wed Lunchtime in Track 2 room. (Image for illustration only; authors not provided in giveaway) 1/3

@tmu @niallm 2. There are not enough people who can speak both languages - ML and SRE. This results in many misunderstandings and assumptions!

@tmu @niallm 1. So many don’t make time to understand mechanisms of how ML works and “throw problems over the wall” for ML to figure it out for us…

@ahidalgosre @wyndigo Maybe we can have a quotient of automation value add and cost considering not only time saved, but also social aspects, impact on cognitive load, maintenance, automation platform upgrades, documentation, frequency it runs, etc…

@ahidalgosre @wyndigo Also automation may help to reduce cognitive load or instead add additional layers of complexity preventing effective diagnostics of the problems. It may help to reduce toil, or add to the siloed knowledge if poorly documented or non standardised

@niallm @nukemberg @SREcon @usenix That is my understanding as well - no workshops this year. But we will check with @usenix and get back to you if we find out otherwise!

@nukemberg @SREcon Good question. I believe cancelled because of the obvious problems, but let me double-check with @DashaRV and @SREcon / @usenix

@niallm i didn't see any reference to workshops on the @SREcon EMEA CFP. are they off the menu? if not, how do i make a proposal?

@ahidalgosre @jaydestro @SLOconf @otterbook @LachlanEvenson Yes yes yes!!! I wrote the outline for a new talk on SLO yesterday! Planning to apply!

Roadtrip to north and west of Ireland is over. Loads of memories. Will miss Connemara landscapes for a while…

#srecon 2022 Americas submissions are due, last weekend to apply your talk or panel! Hurry up!

Your attitude and the potential to influence and inspire the rest of the team is much more important than the number of coding languages you can write “Hello world” on

When you need to do something that requires a lot of focus and time (hours/days) - it maybe hard to start, so you keep #procrastinating. What I do is to tell myself I’ll only do 30 min of it and define what exactly I’ll do. Usually that’s enough to start and spend hours on it!

If you are in a search for a new role, don’t just look for roles that map to your past experience. Look for roles that will help you to develop new experiences - think about your potential to grow and learn in the new role and if it will be fun to work with the new team
