The SRE Book, second edition
The second edition of the SRE Book is out, and it has a case study on the Paris data centre outage. The Register covered the outage at the time. I make a cameo as the incident commander.
The arrow is mine.

AGI and SRE (talk)
I spoke in the closing plenary at SREcon EMEA in Dublin. From the abstract:
For two years the SRE industry has discussed how AI models are changing our jobs. What nobody has seriously discussed is what happens when a model becomes at least as good as an SRE at the core job like holding the pager, mitigating incidents, and even reasoning about production.
The slides are up, and the recording will follow soon. The feedback was good.
To prove the new machine intelligence capabilities to a room of sceptical engineers, I finished on a music video about pagers and whisky.

New York
I live in New York City now, after ten years in London.
I used to live in Canary Wharf, the most New York neighbourhood in London, just to end up living in the original one.
