@Jonwestenberg I could probably sing that album straight through. It was basically the soundtrack to my freshman year of uni. 🙂
Me when @auxesis throws an unexpected AWS question at me during his talk… 😂 #dotcnz #dotc19 https://t.co/8X2V55rUhr
@jennski Leftovers from @_sarahyo’s stash… 😁
@auxesis For the record, Amazon S3 was launched in March 2006. 😁👍 #dotc19 #dotcnz
@nathenharvey @meatmaiden @jennski @amylouboyle @mattstratton YOU DIDNT TELL ME IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY. I’d have gotten everyone to sing to you!! 😜

“Technical people love to talk about culture, but the truth is…” 💩 @auxesis #dotcnz #dotc19 https://t.co/OG5Dq5a9M3
RT @Katellification: “Change your org’s values by changing your Artifacts” @auxesis that includes the ceremonies, the CD pipeline etc. #dot…
PagerDuty reports 750,000 sleep-interrupting incident notifications, @mattstratton says. “Why should you care if you’re not the one carrying the pager?” Because a non-zero percentage of those were received by the person sharing my bedroom! #dotcnz #dotc19 https://t.co/Bh7zjDZt7u
Incident Commanders shouldn’t also be resolvers. If they are the best person to resolve, they should hand off Commander responsibility. As Ron Swanson says, “don’t half-ass two jobs. Whole ass one job.” 👏 @mattstratton #dotcnz #dotc19 https://t.co/TzwEigC3Vc
As Incident Commander, the phrase you want to avoid when assigning tasks is “Can someone…?” You need to make a clear assignment, time box it, and get acknowledgement. Avoid bystander effect. @mattstratton #dotcnz #dotc19 https://t.co/fg0CMMvcvV
@philnash Point me at the registration page pls. 😂
@jennski I can sell you some Drop Bear repellent.

@codepo8 @lofourie @pagerduty Took me a second. 😂
#dotcnz If you’re interested in joining the AWS team in NZ, my DMs are open! Here’s an example of what we’re after: https://t.co/kp3kjHEBq6
@melissa_loh It’s okay. You are a massive nerd in other ways. 😂❤️
RT @AstroHyde: Thanks to @aileengemma @web_goddess @frankarr & everyone @AWSCloudANZ who made this possible. I haven’t felt this optimistic…
@meacod @GlennSarti @auxesis He wasn’t talking about working environment – he was talking about culture from, like, a sociological perspective. There are experts on how artifacts, values, and behaviours interoperate… and we aren’t them. 😂
Sorry I had to run to the airport #dotcnz! Absolutely loved getting to meet you and be part of this amazing @DevOpsTalks NZ event. ❤️👋
@DefSol Thank you so much! You were an excellent substitute @nathenharvey (and you didn’t sneak any GCP stickers into my bag)… 😂
My actual face while reading this article about celery demand spiking: https://t.co/cboSucUaoF. (CELERY YOU ARE THE WORST) https://t.co/rkCVHXBnnG
@software_opal That would be more understandable and less disgusting.
@annie_parker I honestly don’t understand it. I can take it (and maybe even appreciate it) as part of a stew, but raw? It’s actively offensive.

See ya, Auckland! It’s been fun. 👋 https://t.co/oWijbUPnb5 https://t.co/KNPLIC2Poe
@jennski @DevOpsTalks Like 30 min! Bunch of worrywarts.
Occasionally in life, there are trying times that show you who you really are.
Today I learned I’m the type of middle-aged woman who will cause a fuss when the duty-free lady tries to overcharge me $3 on my gin.
@unixbigot Dear god. I hereby bequeath all celery to you, from all humanity, in perpetuity. Maybe if you eat it all, there will be none left to torment the rest of us.

If you’re not releasing quickly, you can’t fail quickly. It takes too long to experiment, and you end up with a mediocre product. @amirmohtasebi sharing some hard-won lessons. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/yUic2m5pK6
PCR runbooks can be really helpful for on-call engineers, but they can also introduce bias when folks rigidly follow steps rather than look at the problem in front of them. @amirmohtasebi #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/QNgBRvQ23n
DEV!! OPS!! 😂 Andrew Nimick from @NZMETweets waking up the post-lunch crowd at @DevOpsTalks. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/rW43xCMXvj
DevOps is all about flow. A gate stops you in your tracks – it’s a handoff, it’s wasteful. A stile allows the flow to continue. #dotcnz #dotc19 https://t.co/YXor7zorde
Grrrrrrrrrrrr. 🤬 https://t.co/4rTE1EHyRV
@johnallsopp Next time a conference vendor gives me a straight cut shirt, I won’t be responsible for my actions. 🔥
Penultimate talk of the day is Mike Owen and Ankit Gupta sharing @SparkNZ DevOps journey. They started with a daunting set of issues: legacy apps, decades of technical debt, 12-18mo delivery cycles, and more. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/HhdymZgvH2
Experiment with a centralised Ops Team failed to deliver on intended benefits, so they tried embedding Ops into Dev teams. That worked better, but still not ideal. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/pLPFkwvwzj
Eventually @SparkNZ ended on a modified version of Spotify model, which has allowed them to move through a number of initiatives and deliver faster. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/WCnaqvipWa
@mmastertheone I saw. 🤬
Loving the energy that @riferrei is bringing to the last talk of the day. Hey, he’s Deadpool! 😂 #dotc19 #dotcnz #devops https://t.co/XENMcml4h9
Hey #dotcnz the song is [500 Miles]
DOH!! * 2. 😂
Awesome! @riferrei has made his very cool Alexa+AWS+Spotify+Kafka demo available. If you want to get your hands dirty with stream processing, you should check it out! #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/4U1auJGpUW

Engaged in a long side channel debate about whether assuming familiarity with Star Wars in a tech conference talk is “subtly discriminatory.” I’m arguing no, but is that me just not recognising the geek tribal water I’m swimming in?
I just don’t think Star Wars is seen as geeky anymore. Is it? I feel like when there’s a themed land at DisneyWorld, it’s crossed into ubiquity.
RT @anildash: So glad to see the blockchain finally make it to Jeopardy! https://t.co/AN8WniBCxU
It appears @AnthonyRees has planted his flag on the “AMI is pronounced Amy” side of the debate. 🤔 #dotcnz #dotc19
@rikkiends @NatDudley @AstroHyde @mmastertheone Does it matter if SW knowledge wasn’t critical to understand the talk? Does that make it better or worse?
@sophiebits You think? I HAAAATE it. I hate that it breaks tap-to-scroll on iPhones, and that it enforces extra clicks for me to get to the real URL to share. I haven’t seen benefits to outweigh that.
RT @apaipi: As a conference organiser (for 20 years) yes, some people still feel it is unfair to think of diversity when inviting speakers.…
As a timer at a conference, there is no better feeling than seeing the speaker see your signal and acknowledge it without breaking a stride. #dotcnz #dotc19 https://t.co/Tqtl761SP5
Session 2 kicking off. Managed to sneak in a selfie with @amylouboyle and @DefSol during the break! #dotc19 #dotcnz https://t.co/9rZMAH3MHW
@bazscott Huh. I thought SW was ubiquitous with kids these days – probably would’ve made that mistake myself. 🙁
@hannahcancode Exactly! And I LOVED that talk. 😂 @_sarahyo named her preso yesterday after “How to lose a guy in 10 days”, which I thought was awesome. (No knowledge of the movie was required.)
@AnthonyRees Have you seen https://t.co/dFVt5RyJ9C ? Some people feel strongly about this. 😂
@gilmae I only get half of your references anyway. 😂

Enjoying Ken’s machine learning classifier talk, especially as I’m working on a similar project using @awscloud Sagemaker! (Mine isn’t for hot dogs though.) 😂 #dotc19 #dotcnz https://t.co/60JfIjQGRB

Forget SLAs. @jennski says Site Reliability Engineering should focus on Service Level Objectives, which are internal measures and map to customer experience. SLAs are just contractual agreements – rarely around customer happiness. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/j7FaRnBmjc
@DheerajNayal23 @DevOpsTalks @DEVOPSINST Where is @DefSol?! 😂

“100% is the wrong reliability target for pretty much everything.” QFT! 👏 @jennski #dotc19 #dotcnz #devops https://t.co/N3VuGfB4FP
Can’t wait to show the #shebuilds on @awscloud team that @botchagalupe added our sticker to his well-decorated laptop! #dotc19 #dotcnz #devops https://t.co/2CDB6pTX0M
@DefSol @DheerajNayal23 @DevOpsTalks @DEVOPSINST I meant in the photo! 😂
Making the SRE function be all toil is like eating nothing but very spicy food. “Pain is not a flavour.” @jennski’s suggestion is to keep toil < 50%. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/lpUVHKTjVA
Dumping *all* production services on an SRE team cannot work. (Lots of snickers of agreement from the audience!) SREs need time to make tomorrow better than today. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops @jennski https://t.co/6YWhjdb03v
“Human” errors are really systems problems. You can’t fix people, but you can fix processes and make them better. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/jssCuqx8rn
Dave Corlett and Richard Jarrett from @WestpacNZ on their 4 year DevOps transformation. Started from only a handful of releases a year, 500+ page governance docs, silos, low morale… #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/CFlYJ8AJ4L
“What would a great day at work feel like?” Collaboration. Integrity. Feeling valued. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/Pqkgz1ezMc
Lessons for leadership from @WestpacNZ’s transformation. Give intent. Create a safe environment. Let the experts be the experts. And TRUST – the people closest to the work know the risks and issues better than anyone else. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/VedAndNmga
People who’ve spent a long time being told what to do can struggle with empowerment. YES. I’ve been working through this right now. It’s challenging when folks want you to give them hard rules and prescriptive direction. #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/78St4U4Iqh

Just like shipping working software, enterprise change efforts need to show results regularly to keep people engaged. You need to share successes as well as failures. @GeorgePutnam @clearpointnz #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/VTo4DHdSRf
RT @Katellification: Explicit recognition of the Agile manifesto and DevOps principles overlap by @GeorgePutnam @clearpointnz #dotcnz
“Be light on process” does not mean “have no process.” AMEN. 🙌 Dear hip disruptive startup types: please memorise that. (You know who you are.) #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops @GeorgePutnam https://t.co/OajCI6v8p3
How to keep people’s attention before lunch: lots of gifs, and throwing lollies at the audience. 👏 @_sarahyo #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/KmVrw4U05d
Nice metaphor for the shared responsibility model and SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and Private Cloud. @_sarahyo #dotcnz #dotc19 #devops https://t.co/AaoXW4miM5
