It also goes by different names at different companies, example at FB it's called Production Engineer. Absolutely. I'm just saying that I've worked with people titling themselves SRE who aren't doing the stuff of that methodology. When last years DevOps team starts styling themselves as SREs but nothing else changes, then they have definitely missed the point about the methodology being the thing that matters! It's not just those teams, of course! There are plenty of "fullstack engineers" who wrote a Node function one time. > By the way Brendan Gregg is a Performance Engineer not an SRE. I believe that's been his title for close to 20 years, according to the the bio in his books. I don't believe he has ever had the title SRE. This seems to be true, but he's spoken at SRE events on "my SRE work at Netflix". |
