Pro tip: use clickbait commit messages to get your teammates to review your code faster git commit -m “First she noticed a bug in production. What happens next will SHOCK you!”

Chaos engineering can be defined as ‘the discipline of experimenting on a system in order to build confidence in its capability to withstand turbulent conditions’. Check out Matthew's article here: bit.ly/3ES6nQw #softwareengineering #chaosengineering

If we squint and put on our CEO-of-too-many-companies hats, we can kind of imagine what Musk’s hoping for with his request. slate.trib.al/1IObHtq

Hot take, if your code looks especially noteworthy in a few screenshots, it’s probably too clever, and not ideal as part of a large team or a large-scale, high-stakes service
Replying to @ZoeSchiffer
Elon Musk is also asking for up 10 screenshots of the "most salient lines of code" from Twitter engineers 2/

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

If Twitter crashes and you need to find me, the hell you will. I've got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need. I speak a dozen languages, know every local custom, I'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see me again.

Unless you operated large systems, it’s hard to appreciate both how they work, and how they break. Twitter won’t go down with a big b, and it won’t go down irreparable. Things will work fine for a while - thanks to no new deploys! Then, here’s what’s likely to happen (cont’d):
Good to hear. Having no outages means there will never be outages, no new capacity issues, no new cascading failures, no bad pushes, nothing. We will freeze in time and my tweets will go into /dev/null. I wished I was smart enough to come up with this idea at work.
