SRE lead-ish. Overly blunt observer, enemy of good enough, questioner of assumptions, yak barber.

Verifying myself: I am tryexceptelse on Keybase.io. SrLYOAqmLgWaiA65VC0tZUX84ULi8uwf6GaR / keybase.io/tryexceptelse/…


Using @grafana to dashboard your 2021 countdown might be the most SRE thing ever. This is what happens when you sequester nerds for a NYE party. With @TechyTy and @edarc

Our office has a bank-style safe. I shut the safe because I wanted to see how to open it. Well, friends, I got my answer. The safe does _not_ open, on account it being a safe. Now we're going to spend venture money on ACTUAL SAFE CRACKER. Sorry, @PulumiCorp.

My friend’s entire company is locked out of their WeWork office because an umbrella fell, jamming the door. No one can figure it out. It’s been like this for 2 days.

First: kudos to @Cloudflare for transparency here and throughout their incident. Next: some thoughts on safety in distributed systems like this. (I don’t know how CF does it, so don’t take this as criticism of their practices, merely some musings from similar experiences) 1/

"A commander may be forgiven for being defeated, but never for being surprised," as Jeff Cooper wrote. The same applies to SSL cert renewals. If you're not monitoring and alerting on your SSL expiry dates, you're going to be surprised, and not in a good way.

Shout out to those of you who can code on a live stream. My live stream would be 10 minutes of me jamming out to Wu Tang and then five minutes of furious typing followed by lots of expletives. Actually, this might be entertaining. I'm going to set up a Patreon and make that loot.
