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.

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.
I’ve released version 1.0 of SLOs Can’t Catch a Black Swan as an open, living framework hosted on GitHub.

It’s working. Punch them harder.

I haven’t written any blog posts lately due to the pain I’ve been dealing with but I’m filling up my plog. Oh, my “plog” is my “pain log”, a little notebook to track when I take my pain medication and to note my pain levels. The latest entry: “12:45pm - took gabapentin and ibuprofen, had lunch, still in a shit-ton of pain”
