The CodingBlocks podcast is in the middle of a series on this book. Definitely worth a listen to help flesh out some of the more nuanced bits of the book. https://pca.st/episode/b6ca5e7b-0cc8-4491-8fd7-8d4794615096 https://pca.st/episode/b6ca5e7b-0cc8-4491-8fd7-8d4794615096

SRE = Site Reliablity Engineering

If you’d like these in downloadable formats, and want a more exhaustive list of all the “Google SRE” content - I have a repo[1] with lots of links and code to generate PDFs. There is also a machine read audiobook[2].

  God, surely there are better text to speech implementations these days than whatever that is.

  I found more than a few links in your README to be broken. I don’t have a GitHub account to raise issues though.

    Fixed or marked them as dead. Google published a lot of this under partnership with O'Reilly and it looks like Google is no longer publishing the PDF versions of their case studies, instead paywalling them behind O'Reilly.

whenever i hear or read a google SRE resource, i’m most impressed by their back of the napkin calculations. it’s a skill i wish i had but don’t have opportunities to do it or even validate that i’m in the right ball park

  Is it a skill or do they just have better access to data to base their calculations on?
  - melony 4y ago
    Mostly a skill, it is not really taught in CS because implementation is cheap but physicists, traditional engineering (electrical etc.) and some business schools all use aspects of estimation.
