These are anonymous technical critiques of situations that are typical in the life of a sysadmin/RSE/security engineer. Even if your colleagues are super-smart they will still fuck up some of the time. In a large enough project someone's fucking up all the time and these people have to fix it. Of course they're grumpy and tend to complain. That's how they stay sane and don't go postal at work :) So next time you see an SRE or the like grab them for a coffee and tell them how much you appreciate them. It could save your life in the future.
