Hard work to dead end
Plans sometimes evaporate
Like sweat from one's brow.

A quotation from Virgil:
«««««
Art followed hard on art. Toil triumphed over every obstacle, unrelenting Toil, and Want that pinches when life is hard.
[Tum variae venere artes. Labor omnia vicit
inprobus et duris urgens in rebus egestas.]

This week on Slight Reliability I'm launching a fresh new sound! In the episode I define #toil, discuss how we can (or can't) monitor it, and how we can reduce it. I also take pot shots at the change advisory board (#CAB). #sre
Shout outs to Steve McGhee, Dom Finn, and Shea Stewart.
Reducing #toil is an important part of #SRE, but do you measure how much toil work your engineers are doing? If so, *how* do you measure it?
Confession: I've never measured it or been part of measuring it (yet). I genuinely want to know how teams are measuring it in a non-intrusive and accurate way.
(PS. I drew this art using a the trackpad on my laptop and I'm unjustifiably proud of it...)
Here's the next core concept video on the Cynic Epistles, this one looking at their notion of "toil" (ponos). You're going to have to deal with some, so you may as well pick the right sort, they think!

Clocking it in the home lab.
It's about time I got around to publishing some of my academic work, I have been sitting on some amazing stuff for decades. Will have some very cool papers out soon. 🔥🔥🔥
Next thing is killer robots to chase spooks that come in the night and steal IP. LOLs, jk. Maybe. 😘
Computer Scientists, unite!

#Work doesn't have to be #unpleasant. Here's an example of a #culture where it is #play.
"hunter-gatherers do not have a concept of #toil. When they do, it derives apparently from their contact with #outsiders. They may learn a word for toil to refer to the work of their neighboring farmers, miners, or road construction workers, but they do not apply it to their own work. Their own work is simply an extension of children's #play."

Being a people manager again after spending the last 5 years doing #devops is fun I come with a prospective of why is there so much #toil? and how can i automate it? In the first 3 months I’ve automated 3 of my processes using #PowerAutomate
"Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man’s hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man’s ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night."
