This week on the 100th episode I'm joined by DevOps and Resilience Engineering legend John Allspaw to talk about learning (especially from incidents). We discuss...
📒 Classroom VS situated learning
🤝 The myth of the perfect handover
ITIL as a coping strategy to try and make sense of the organic, wild, and messy
🥕 How you cannot incentivise to avoid incidents (it doesn't work that way)
❤️🩹 You can't understand how something is broken unless you know how it's supposed to work in the first place
...and much more.
