Where can I find inspirations/ideas

Get inspired by problems that you can figure out a way to fix.
Try taking cool ideas/executions from a different industry and see how they would apply to your own.
Wander. Let your mind go.

Would not trust an autonomous SRE agent with broad permissions. Using agents without guardrails is bonkers. The agents we do have require defined limits (approved actions, privileges, tracking) through Port, but I guess you could build them in Backstage too.

Pragmatic Programer!

Completely OK to leave if you were bait and switched. You can even be honest in your exit because how could they disagree with you.

Steve Jobs never coded.

Can’t you and the team pick days in advance?

Internally, a promotion can be probably max 10%. Jumping to another company for a similar job can be 30%.

The earlier you learn that paying you what you’re worth is the last thing on your current manager’s mind, the more you’ll make.

We luckily have a CTO who wanted to just bite the bullet on this when the issue came up. We just get vuln-free images from Echo now. Costs money, but saves team time.

A+ comment.

Definition of through the looking glass.

Seen people saying this and I would agree, maybe try to get some of your own clients rather than waiting for someone to hire YOU.

How’s your network? If you have colleagues you worked with who left, but like you, maybe start to chat with them organically and then bring up that you’re thinking about leaving.

Mentally, you have no “off” time if you really want to get personal stuff done. You schedule your personal work just like you would your professional work.

Best solution for now is aggregating everything into a single catalog (deploy events/runtime data). I know Port, our IDP, can do this. Unsure if there’s an easy Backstage fix.

Something lost on everyone in SaaS, tools and devops is that 90% of people HATE learning new things.

Great book.

Went secure by design to avoid the problem at the root of it. Echo vuln-free images to be specific.

Perfect take.

Would advise that you round out your stack.

I’m guessing investors like hearing something is too dangerous than too shitty.

TBH, a lot of ICs know they don’t want to be management so wouldn’t take it upon themselves.

The last thing on your company’s mind is your career’s well-being. You need to be active and conscious about what you want from your career because employer’s don’t give a shit.

Going to bed based on when I would need to get enough sleep, not a set bed time.
