"blameless postmortem" was a thing at google well before 2012.
- xref 5y agoPossibly the concept existed but the “blameless” term is widely credited to the GP, John Allspaw, who became CTO of Etsy. At least I haven’t found anything definitive predating him. Also impressive he’s had an HN acct for 12 years but only 5 karma!
- jspaw 5y agoThe SRE book authors cited the post specifically (https://sre.google/sre-book/bibliography/#All12 https://sre.google/sre-book/bibliography/#All12), and Googlers I’ve spoken to mentioned its influence there.
