I’ve always been a fan of Perry Lorier’s collection of “prodverbs”. Glad to see I can refer to them again on the outside

ICYMI, Google SRE, Steve McGhee just introduced "prodverbs" at the #GoogleCloudNext Developer Keynote. Prodverbs (aka production proverbs) capture general beliefs that SREs have (or should have) that I've collected over the past few years. These prodverbs provide insight into running services in production, and working as an SRE. Each prodverb links to a talk or article that describes the principles in more detail. This is our first collection of prodverbs — look for more here in the coming months!
The first installment is live. More coming soon...

2mo"You're never oncall alone" is my all-time favorite but doesn't seem to have made the list.
