What Does the Future Hold for Role of SRE?<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

This article contains:<\/p>\n

two reasons why site reliability engineers may be part of IT teams for years to come, and two reasons why site reliability engineering may turn out just to be a fad.<\/p>\n

Best practices for observability<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

This article proposes an interesting method for incident investigation: constantly try to disprove<\/em> your hypotheses to avoid confirmation bias.<\/p>\n

Killed By A Machine: The Therac-25<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

How I\u2019ve managed to run this newsletter for almost 7 years without a single mention of the Therac-25 incidents is beyond me. Therac-25 is an important lesson for all of us as we design systems and analyze incidents.<\/p>\n

The Words Not Spoken: The crash of Avianca flight 052<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Take this one with a grain of salt since there\u2019s a fair bit of counterfactual reasoning in the description. Nevertheless there\u2019s a lot to learn from this and Wikipedia\u2019s article on the same accident<\/a>.<\/p>\n
