Google NotebookLM is absolutely insane, easily the best AI product out there, and it is free to use. The new Mindmap feature makes learning so easy. You can use it to understand your codebase. Just convert your codebase to a single file and try it out.

One of the highlights of #IRConf will be chatting w/ @drensin (SVP Eng @pendoio & ex-Google) about ⭐customer-centric⭐ incident response. The trend in tech is to over-focus on automated/monitoring systems, when the majority of SEV1s are actually triggered by customers (humans).

"Service level objectives (SLOs) specify a target level for the #reliability of your service. Because SLOs are key to making data-driven decisions about reliability, they’re at the core of SRE practices. In many ways, this is the most important chapter in this book." 🎤 ⤵ #SRE
