Be google SRE. Elite software engineer. Cool under pressure.
Pager goes off! Grab pixel. Press finger print reader until it lets me enter my passcode. Ack page. Put down whisky. Shake self. 5 minutes to be logged in and dealing with the problem.
Password. gnubby. password. gnubby. gnubby. gnubby.
Check alert, see playbook, ignore playbook. Check which cell the problem is in. Correlate with rollouts. See a match. Roll back poorly tested dev promo project. Charts recover. Alert not firing.
Log out. Back to whisky.
