I'm in ops and this is a huge, huge headache for those of us on our end at companies where we're not given Google SRE powers to control release trajectory based on failure budgets of some sort.

I've worked at too many places that had no SWEs on-call for the on-call alerts that I get, which the vast majority of the time involves throwing a bandaid (as in redirecting traffic, etc) in front of an internal bug that I hope eventually gets fixed once the RFO/etc has been submitted before it hits my NEXT on-call rotation or my poor coworkers.

Without SWEs on my rotation they don't understand the immediacy. They aren't the ones getting their Christmas week interrupted every 4 hours while ops keeps the house running. In Ops having your entire day ruined by various on-call alerts usually feels like you're working without any breaks and nobody even cares.

Anyone want a bad golang developer, wannabe ex-ops person who knows a lot about platform reliability and o11y and wants to focus on the golang end finally? I'll make your teams automation and o11y purr no matter where it is (bm, cloud, global pops, serverless..)..
