|---|---|---|
| A Few Observations on the Marvelous Resilience of Bone & Resilience Engineering | Dr. Richard Cook | 37m |
Claim: bone is the archetype of resilience because it is continuously remodeled on a roughly ten‑year timescale, directed by mechanical strain, and repurposes… | ||
| The Art of Embracing Failure at Scale | Adrian Hornsby | 40m |
Explains concrete blast‑radius reductions: use bulkheads and isolation to limit faults, run services in many cells (thousands to tens of thousands) routed by… | ||
| Getting Comfortable With Being Under Water | Ronnie Chen | 34m |
Argues that taking on risk is an explicit, rational trade-off supported by concrete practices: using rebreather systems and six-plus tanks for 300–400 ft dives… | ||
| The Practice of Practice: Teamwork in Complexity | Matt Davis | 42m |
Explains how group intuition forms through repeated rehearsal and a concrete example of a broken guitar string causing a coordination surprise when the band… | ||
| Document Yourself: A Framework for Career Advancement | Michelle Brenner | 23m |
Concrete outputs: a one‑page brag sheet, a weekly habit of 100–200 character success statements, and a practiced elevator pitch. Examples and metrics include… | ||
| Resilience Engineering Mythbusting | Will Gallego | 43m |
Claims that matter: servers can't be resilient because resilience requires human decision making, not just redundancy; the talk separates resilience… | ||
| The Meat of It | Ryan Kitchens | 30m |
Incident reports surface concrete failures: an accidental commit enabling 100 tracing caused a retry storm that lowered observability and is fixed by returning… | ||
| Speaker Panel - Day 1 | Will Gallego, Andrian Hornsby, Ronnie Chen, Michelle Brenner | 53m |
Talk gives concrete moves: stop asking irrelevant algorithm questions, recruit from code schools, pay people to produce accessible primers instead of dumping… | ||
| Trajectory of Chaos | Casey Rosenthal | 32m |
Claims that Chaos Engineering moves from ad hoc chaos tests to Continuous Verification as an engineering discipline, with concrete tooling like feature flags… | ||
| Collaboration, Coordination, Co-Design CoEvolution | Jabe Bloom | 47m |
Argues that collaboration, coordination and co‑design are practical moves for shaping ongoing systems, not labels; proposes prospective coherence as a concrete… | ||
| Beyond Blameless | Rein Henrichs | 37m |
Claim: current blameless post‑mortems often ban we don't ask who questions and so remove the attribution needed for learning. Evidence: cognitive science… | ||
| Approaching Overload: Automation as Fellow Responders | Marisa Grayson | 32m |
Argues that automation behaves like a pseudo‑cognitive agent with brittle but predictable patterns and lists concrete design moves: make systems observable… | ||
| Rule #2: Double Tap. An Elasticsearch Journey of Resiliency | George Kobar | 41m |
Chronicle of specific fixes: Elasticsearch adds a translog write‑ahead log so uncommitted writes replicate to replicas, reducing data loss; deploys… | ||
| Cognitive Linguistics at the Sharp End | Michael McCliment | 38m |
Cognitive linguistics explains how categories, prototypes and metaphors shape real‑time incident response: natural categories and prototype effects hide… | ||
| A Talk For Right Now: Resilience in the Face of Change | Kate Pond | 26m |
Personal story of career and relationship upheaval anchors concrete tactics: mantra-based self-talk "I'm doing what is right for me right now", therapy plus… | ||
| Spaker Panel - Day 2 | Rein Henrichs, Marisa Grayson, Michael McCliment, Kate Pond | 55m |
Panelists argue for concrete evidence and prototypes: a curated learning-from-incidents website to share structured cases, instrumented chaos experiments that… | ||
