Treat ideas like cattle, not pets

Ship It! Cloud, SRE, Platform Engineering

Show Notes

In our ops & infra world, we learn to optimise for redundancy, for mean time to recovery and for graceful degradation. We instinctively recognise single points of failure, and try to mitigate the risks associated with them.

For some years now, Daniel Vassallo has been doing the same, but in the context of life & work. Daniel talks about the role of randomness, about learning from small wins & about optimising for a lifestyle that matches your true preferences. Apparently, ideas too should be treated like cattle, not pets.
