👏👏 @SenDuckworth excellent speech. Wish it was carried on the main channels so more people could hear what you have to say.

CTO: If we move our repo to a hosted service, what do we do if someone manages to get code into our product?
Me: So, like, they check it in, it passes code review, QA, change control approvals, and is deployed through our automation?
CTO: Yes!
Me: Send them a 10-99, I guess.

Talk takeaways. This tends to I advertently be what happens anyway, embrace it. @wiredferret #DevOpsDays #devopsdaysChi
I've seen it happen even with a CI server...but people add skips for known failing tests or ignore the results and push anyway. :(
Its really hard to find the source bug when you're dealing with a failed integration job with dozens (or hundreds) of components.

I can't tell you what your next major incident will look like, but I can tell you that some aspects of it will be entirely novel and other aspects will be distressingly familiar.

Thank you to those who do postmortems. *Especially* for large mature teams. There are not better high-level learning materials for understanding how real systems at scale work. Your reports educate the next generation of infra
Students: read all postmortems like this, be ye wary
The post mortem of today’s @Cloudflare outage is up: it’s a sobering read.
- testing in production (dark launch) isn’t without its perils. It can take down your production
- don’t do *global* deploys, even for staged rollout of feature flags/dark traffic. bit.ly/2FQN77k

Tabletop D&D is a tiny microcosm of the world, except we can make attribution to the causality.

The most insidious thing about the whole sneering at a politician for being a bartender thing is that we are *supposed* to be governed by everyday citizens. The only major qualifications needed for Congress is to be an American and to have the support of your fellow Americans.

Media companies need to do less flying in of white North Americans and more recognizing the people who live there — find ways to help them tell their own stories about what is happening to them
The title “foreign correspondent” has long been synonymous with whiteness, maleness, and imperialism—journalists fly in from North America, Europe, and Australia to cover the poverty and wars of the non-Western world, writes @Pri_Borpujari cjr.org/special_report/fixer… via @cjr

This is such a great piece, serious questions about authorship and attribution in the context of journalism's use of fixers are asked and should be considered deeply by western publications.
International publications should hire local reporters to be foreign correspondents.
"Every story from a foreign location in an international pub bears the fingerprints of an unnamed local journalist without whom that story wouldn’t have been possible." cjr.org/special_report/fixer…
