Doubt is always present in engineering roles, but has an outsized influence in more senior roles. Doubt lingers. How you handle it can define how good of a co-worker you are. I wrote a little more on doubt here: amyunger.com/blog/2021/12/0…

I recently went to #rubyconfmini, and with vaccine, testing, and masking requirements, there have so far been 0 reported positive covid cases after the conference 😎

@RobHarris So 6500 dead migrant workers is fine because they were paid more than a pittance. State homophobia is ok because European colonialism happened. And Infantino understands because he was ginger. FIFA corruption is ok because colonialism. Contemptible man.

@rakyll What's even wilder is that the more systems change, the more incidents will be resolved purely because "something looked off" to someone. I can automate the heck out of a stable, unchanging system. Asking for long hours to overhaul a product? You want that experience!

Complex systems rely on individuals who knows where to look and what’s looking ok. Understanding the complex relationship between components and cascading failure patterns sometimes require years of engagement on a system.

1) Random hard drive fills up. You have no idea how common it is for a single hosed box to cause cascading failures across systems, even well-engineered fault-tolerant ones with active maintenance. Where's the box? What's filling it up? Who will figure that out?

When you have no idea the scope changes needed to implement a change: git checkout -b cdwort/does-some-work Will it be a two line change? Perhaps! Will it be a complete overhaul of some central and complex code? Maybe!

It wound up in Drafts as failed-to-send despite the app saying otherwise. Still can't send from Drafts either (and again with a silent fail)

The app said this tweet was sent and, yet, it is not on my timeline.

When the first engineer said "it depends" for the first time, the complexity broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of tech debt.

@norootcause @Mat__Savage @fuzzyKB This seems somewhat common: force your employees to experience the shitty billing flows they build. Don't love it, but don't mind it.

Even Netflix, which doses not provide its employees with free Netflix subscriptions (!!!), still provides free breakfast and lunch. It’s just very common in the Bay Area.

Hey. Before Twitter goes away, maybe help me find my hero? On Dec. 27th, 2020, my husband passed out while driving, and our car crashed at 70mph on I-10 near Jacksonville, FL. A driver headed the opposite direction saw the crash, exited the interstate, and got back on- 1/6

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready for this, but who knows if my network will still be here next week. I'm putting myself back on the job market. If you're hiring or intending to hire SRE/Ops/devops/Platform managers in the next few months, I'd love to chat with you!

This thread is now my standard for in-person conferences.

A week out from @bigbadcon. Here's our COVID report so far: - 1 person tested positive on Saturday 10/29 (caught on the flight to the con). Quarantined immediately. Used contact tracing to alert attendees. - 0 cases reported since then. (1/7)

Election Day in Wisconsin has been pretty stressful for the past several years, but maybe after today we won't need to worry about them any more!
