Email subscribers, my apologies for the double-send last week. I upgraded WordPress and subsequently further cemented my distrust of all version upgrades ever.<\/p>\n

I carefully tested a fix in staging before rolling it out gradually in preparation for this week\u2019s issue. Just kidding, I hacked on it live until I got it fixed. Sorry about all those testing tweets. #testinproduction #yolo #SREWeeklydoesnotpracticeSRE<\/p>\n

What SRE is not<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

I thought it might be better to try a new approach: defining what SRE was by looking at what it\u2019s not. Or to put it another way, what can you remove from SRE and have it still be SRE?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat could we have done differently?\u201d<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Instead of asking that question this article urges understanding what happened.<\/p>\n

Another reason that imagining future scenarios is better that counterfactuals about past scenarios is that our system in the future is different from the one in the past.<\/p>\n
