Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The One with Crisis Engineering and Mikey Dickerson
Q: What makes SRE individuals particularly suited to crisis leadership, in your view?
SRE people tend to be contrarian, deeply focused on reliability, and comfortable working across organizational boundaries; crisis unlocks their ability to align disparate parts of the company toward a common, urgent goal.
The One with Crisis Engineering and Mikey Dickerson
Q: What signals or indicators tell you a crisis is shaping up, and how should teams prepare?
Look for external shocks, deadlines that feel real, and a misalignment in priorities across teams; the presence of backlogs, recurring failures, and a culture that resists change are key warning signs that preparation and intervention are needed.
The One with Crisis Engineering and Mikey Dickerson
Q: Can you talk about that human allegory for a second?
The allegory helps explain how crisis management mirrors personal recovery and organizational therapy, emphasizing listening, mapping the system, and engaging multiple viewpoints to diagnose and repair a dysfunctional system.
The One With Damion Yates and Building AI systems
Q: How did you make that distinction of like this stuff over here, quote, gets SRE support and this stuff over here doesn't?
We had to prioritize and I did come up with a categorization for this based on the importance of the projects and the effort by teams to build reliability.
The One With Denia Del Cid and AI
Q: How do you manage resistance or skepticism about automation in workflows?
Del Cid discusses how her team builds dynamic tools that adapt to the needs and tagging systems of users to ensure acceptance and efficiency.
