So that’s either things that shouldn’t exist anymore or shouldn’t exist yet.”\r\n\r\nJess and Cat talk about projects that fit Cat’s definition of the edge of now.\r\n\r\nCat: “I do believe that DevOps is inherently feminist, because it puts the emphasis on that maintenance and reproductive work rather than producing working software.”\r\n\r\nJess brings up Eric Evans’ concept of software as gardening.\r\n\r\nThe discusses reproductive vs productive work. Cat talks about what she sees in healthy DevOps teams.\r\n\r\nJess and Cat talk about the challenges of working with legacy systems.\r\n\r\nThe discusses metacommunication and Gregory Bateson.\r\n\r\nCat: “In that situation, everyone is operating as specified but it’s still not working!

Cat dives into how feminist theory has impacted her thinking on DevOps and systems.\r\n\r\nCat: “If we valued caring for the systems and caring for each other, rather than thinking fair or unfair…Let’s check, are we caring for these systems, are we being mindful? Then rad, let’s keep going.”\r\n

The Six Main Arcs in Storytelling, as Identified by an A.I. The Seven Basic Plots by Christopher Booker There are only six plots on tech Twitter. All tweets are one of them.

Long live DevRelSecBuzFinSalesMarketingHROps 8. K8s https://t.co/CK5VBqUfCh — Sasha Rosenbaum (@DivineOps) January 4, 2021 🤔 good question.... 1. DNS 2. White asshat complaining about ability 3. DevRel: closer to sales, marketing, or product? 4. K8s something or other 5. Definition of DevOps, and why it's in a banana stand 6. DNS, of course — Jeremy has no more covfefe 😷 (@IAmJerdog) January 4, 2021 1. $X service is down 2. $X service is up 3. Someone did something problematic but It's Fine ™️ /s 4. Viral Coping Mechanism Du Jour 5. Clickbait 6. Hot Takes and Other Opinions . . . 6b.

A doggo (Friday) Jessica Jessitron, LLC Cut my hair Last Keynote Codebeam March 7&8 last talk with Avdi systemsthinking.dev Bridget I planned to travel less. Sorry for causing (points to everything). Fewer events but playing with the pre-record format Jeff Got a new gaming table Wrote a book! Operations Anti-Patterns, DevOps Solutions Matty Last in-person conference was DevOpsDays NYC New job at Red Hat! DevOps Party Games Took over from Bridget as global chair for devopsdays Did “less” speaking this year (“only” 9-10 talks) 90s Sci-Fi Roundup Joe’s Babylon 5 talk at DevOpsDays Madison 2016 Joe’s Top Babylon 5 Episodes Season 1, ep 3: Born to the Purple, Great Londo episode. Season 2, ep 20: The Long, Twilight Struggle. End of the Narn/Centauri War. One of the best FX shots of the whole show. One of the best Londo/G’Kar eps. Season 3, ep 20: And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place. More good Londo/G’Kar. Season 4, ep 14: Moments of Transition. End of the Minbari Civil War. Good Delenn ep, better Neroon ep. Season 5, ep 8 Day of the Dead. Duh. Joe’s Worst Babylon 5 Episodes Season 1 ep 10: Believers. Basically Christian Scientists in space. I could have chosen TKO (Bloodsport in Spaaace!) or Infection (“He took a pretty bad hit!"). Believers is super-preachy and it has the pedigree of being written by David Gerrold (wrote the tribbles ep of original recipe Trek) Season 2 ep 18: Confessions and Lamentations. A deadly plague threatens the Markab. Another weak Dr. Franklin ep. Also, a deadly plague, read the room B5! Season 3 ep 18: Walkabout. Hey, look! It’s Wallace’s mom from Veronica Mars but oh, god, the songs! Season 4 ep 10 Racing Mars. Marcus AND Dr. Franklin together on Mars! Nuts and gum, together at last. Honorable mention: The Deconstruction of Falling Stars. Season 5 ep 11: Phoenix Rising. Fucking telegoths.

Cost Compression Aaron discusses the three big projects he’s working on. The first is cost efficiency, or, as Netflix thinks of it, “cost compression.” Jessica: “Oh, so you have to achieve cost compression without telling engineers not to spend money.” Aaron: “If you don’t believe you can predict very well, then what you should do instead is get really good at reacting.” The discusses the difference between autonomy and agency. The talks about the utility of data dashboards. Aaron: “The dashboards are more like cost debugging ultilities.” Access Isolation Aaron talks about his second big project, “a unified strategy for access isolation.” Jessica: “You want the cells to have access to the other cells in the same muscle tissue, but if they need a nerve ending they have to say so!” Regional Growth and Availability Aaron explains the third big project he’s working on, “Netflix’s regional growth and high availability story.” Aaron talks about how Netflix produces original content all over the world, and the coordination required to serve all the computation needs of the various projects in different places.
