I wrote down a thing! "Unravel the mysteries" might be overselling it, but I have done a deep dive into Service Overload and describe 4 industry standard engineering patterns you can use to increase your service resiliency and boost your uptime.

This one is actually my story, about adapting to massive scaling challenges, a gamble that didn't pay off, and the work of my friends in Traffic SRE, particularly my beloved colleague @_jdh. Buckle up, we're going for a trip down memory lane!

If you want to learn a lot about the history of global load balancing /at scale/ in a short amount of time, read this! And if you are ex-Google (and/or ex-Traffic) it's a walk down memory lane. 😉

It's true! I'm joining @StanzaSystems and we've got some *great* things planned.
It’s nice to finally be able to talk about what this incredibly talented team has been up to. I’m lucky to be working with @niallm @BlakeBisset @maggiepint @lauralifts @NYCDubliner and @equalize . Looking forward to building awesome things! @StanzaSystems stanza.systems/

Let me state a basic fact: A person’s control over if and when to have a child leads to healthy adults, healthy children, and healthy families. But the extremists who successfully fought to overturn Roe do not care about health. They care about control—not our fundamental rights.

Let's be clear. This election won't be over when Trump says it's over. It will be over after every vote is counted. That includes mail-in ballots postmarked on Election Day, as well as military ballots. This is a democracy. Whether Trump likes it or not, we count every vote.

The right to vote is the most fundamental American right there is. We need to immediately expand vote-by-mail, online voter registration, and early voting to ensure everyone can safely exercise their right to participate in our electoral process. nbcnews.com/politics/meet-th…
