Poem of the week: 

SREs they're the ones you call when your systems fall.

-- Bard

Here are some fascinating articles and podcasts that we came across this week:

  • First, I love this title, "The Dark Side of DevOps." It's simple and effective. The article explains that shifting Left in DevOps empowers developers by moving activities earlier in the software development process. But the dark side is that it increases their responsibilities and cognitive load. Companies need to consider this when they add new capabilities to keep up with changes in technology and business needs. The text provides a comprehensive overview of the benefits and challenges. It also highlights the importance of evaluating which stage of the DevOps journey a company is at to avoid wasting resources on solving problems that are not relevant to their current needs: https://www.infoq.com/articles/devops-shifting-left/
