Missing my friend today. I read my grief stricken stream of consciousness that's on the next page in my notebook and that brought back A LOT of feelings. But I also caused some good trouble today in a meeting like he would, and that felt good.

Tell me you don’t have enough operations experience without telling me.
I had the pleasure of working with @TheJewberwocky for several years. I don’t think I’ve ever worked with someone as thoughtful and empathetic about building humane and effective systems as Josh. Hire him as fast as you can!

Sounds like Twitter’s going to provide us with an object lesson in Rasmussen’s safety model. If you’re cutting costs and people are burning out, the system gets pushed towards the safety boundary. Outages coming?
Shout out to @datadoghq for their predatory overage charges because of blue green deployments. And sending me back and forth between my AM and support to help me understand how the fuck they're calculating them 🙃🙃🙃
