I love stepping into an elevator where someone has recently been wearing an inordinate amount of perfume/cologne and imagining where on earth that scent cloud is going...

Excited to announce the launch of Bikecoin 🚲💰. It's a triptocurrency. You mine Bikecoin every time you make a daily trip by bike. The funds you earn are automatically not-deducted from your bank account in the form of not buying gas.


This! (Also yep, terrified of street biking over here and part of this gross feedback cycle)

Who's worked on tech teams with both full time employees and contractors? Curious how you manage team building when some positions are designed to be temporary


Spent an hour listening to someone vent about a tough cross-team... thingie and they came to the solution I wanted to propose at the beginning. Yay! Bonus? They now feel empowered to own that change For every manager who has previously held this same space for me - THANK YOU!


Countering a PagerDuty heavy day with listening to my current brain-worm song on repeat 339 times


Just got off a get-to-know-you call with a new mentee and I am about to go to bat for her going after her goals!!! (Moral of the story: can't fight U-haul energy, can only hope to channel it for good)

Don’t confuse being unsure what’s going on because reality is fundamentally socially constructed with being unsure what’s going on because you have shitty monitoring.


Literally will never get tired of talks that pull in weird historical references. The development of time series charts by rogue Scottish economist? Count me in! #srecon @ColonelMode

#SRECon22 has done an amazing job putting super engaging speakers at the end of the day’s agenda to combat waning energy levels. @nmeans yesterday and @kristinintech today have had my favorite presentations so far in terms of delivery specifically, and both closed out the day.


Whoa, CI/CD for Disney attractions. Mind blown! One of those things that makes sense once you see it #srecon


If you're at #srecon listening to this mentorship talk but don't have a mentee (and are comfortable helping developers transition into SRE), I want to plug becoming a mentor with @joinwest


Brain is still winding down from a great first day of #srecon but grateful for a plush new friend while I process

I might be excited about feature flags for the first time in forever - love the talk on automating feature flags to roll back in the case of degradation. Thanks for the talk @jamie_gaskins! #srecon22
