Site Reliability Engineering for Cats

by Denise Yu

Studying the principles of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) not only made me better at going on-call: it made me a better cat owner. This short talk will explore how lessons from SRE apply more broadly to any system with chaotic elements (in this case, it’s the cat. Cats are relentless agents of chaos.

Sketch Together Online Doodling Workshop

After the break, Denise will run a short workshop on how to doodle! From complete beginner to expert sketcher - we’ll get stuck in learning how to draw quick identifiable shapes and animals to help put thoughts onto paper. Remember to bring along paper and a pen or pencil.
