I read hero as someone who works hard(er), not the one person keeping things up. I mean, the one person is a hero, but heroes can just be the one doing most of the work. I have a couple of heroes at my current job and they're the ones working 12+ hours a day sometimes weekend to deliver on a NEW project. So it isn't much about bus factor, but trying to deliver even if it means sacrificing personal life.
- Willish42 4y agoThe "heroism bad" sentiment OP's article is describing within Google's culture is specifically the "one person keeping things up" variety, and the characterization in the article is inaccurate. https://sre.google/sre-book/eliminating-toil/ https://sre.google/sre-book/eliminating-toil/ is a good public example of this sentiment.
