I also wonder how effective a program can be at teaching this kind of thing. No amount of studying ever ingrained something in my mind as well as the adrenaline shot of somehow fucking up production. I'm not aware of any pedagogical methods to engage the endocrine system, but I find it very useful for retention.

A thedailywtf.com for operations mishaps would probably go a long way.
- stephengillie 9y agoThere's a theory that the same person should not be both a Developer and an Operator for the same project - that crucial mental separation between Making something and Keeping It Online gets too blurred when one person wears both hats. I've witnessed this in my own personal and professional projects. I guess it is a counter-argument to the DevOps/Agile philosophy.
