 edef | and this buys us various kinds of budget to do the improving, it compounds well | 00:05:40 |
| edef | like, what i want from the incentive alignment is avoidance of "no, we won't pay you to spend time hacking on making this system more stable, but we will pay you to respond to the emergencies this creates" | 00:06:25 |
 @adam:robins.wtf | makes sense to me | 00:07:20 |

part of the thing here is, you can prevent a lot of emergencies by doing consistent work to make them unlikely and handleable yes. I'm currently on-call. The last time I was paged was months ago, and it was a false positive. the time before that was years ago. | 00:07:30 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | that's the dream rotation | 00:07:45 |

yes. I'm currently on-call. The last time I was paged was months ago, and it was a false positive. the time before that was years ago. do we need to make things spicier in nixos | 00:07:51 |
| raitobezarius | sorry | 00:07:53 |

yes. I'm currently on-call. The last time I was paged was months ago, and it was a false positive. the time before that was years ago. and thus it would be a reasonable bet for me to take that you work in an environment where those incentives are well-aligned | 00:08:01 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | i've definitely had on-call rotations that were much more painful than a couple times a year :) | 00:08:09 |
| Wanja Hentze | if you do a good job on the infra and have reasonable requirements (this one is important), on-call can be relatively okay | 00:08:19 |
| Wanja Hentze | that being said I would currently not join a 2nd rotation because I simply need time off for real once in a while | 00:11:49 |
| Wanja Hentze | I can help with infra work though if you want me to beat a NixOS over the head or replace a hard drive or whatever | 00:13:21 |
 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | Yeah I'm not sure "on-call" makes that much sense here anyway? I'd consider it to be a best-effort thing, and I expect that if stuff catches fire people will scramble to fix it, but nobody needs to be paged out of whatever they're doing for it | 00:15:25 |
| Wanja Hentze | idk, crates.io has a rotation and I consider that less essential | 00:16:07 |
