Quick note: About how when tech bros apply the morale from SciFi stories in a way that we find wrong, it's not cause they didn't read the book. It's cause they identify with other characters than you are.

But they did read it
It’s fun to see tech bros naming thins after SciFi books, films or shows: “The Metaverse” was not a utopia but a reaction to a world where the political, economic and ecological systems have collapsed just to give one example among oh so many others. And we often keep making jokes about the tech bros […]

Darren Woods is known mostly as the chairman of ExxonMobil,
the largest U.S. oil company.
On Friday, however, he made noise in a different sphere by placing an obscure financial term into the political lexicon:
"#Uninvestible."
That's how Woods described Venezuela
—more specifically, Venezuela's oil industry.
His remark came during a meeting of s…

This was written by an old friend and I found it pretty packed with good info. It’s also an example of using NotebookLM for research and content development. I found this inspiring enough to give it a try.

SLOs Can’t Catch a Black Swan: A Classification Framework for Thinking About Incidents -Geoff White
"Your SLOs can be green, and your systems can still be falling over. That doesn’t mean SLOs are broken. It means they were never designed to describe every class of risk we encounter in complex systems.

This is not a book you read once, and it’s not something you consult in the middle of an outage. It’s a way to think more clearly about incidents—across the incident lifecycle.”
