@carkh Over the years we've tried to start communities on all sorts of services -- including Discord and pretty much everything else that folks have suggested. Only Slack has seen any traction. Zulip is probably the one with the second greatest traction and it's an order of magnitude smaller than our Slack community.
Gitter has a number of Clojure rooms. A few projects saw some traction there but not many.
Matrix/Riot also saw a little traction (but mostly seems to be an IRC mirror last I looked).
We do have #community-development as a channel for in depth discussion of this sort of thing, and that channel has a link to the repo where discussion notes were stored I believe.
(ironically, when that got started, the main advocates for going elsewhere chose a free service to host their notes about all the discussions and it shutdown and the notes got partly lost!)
maybe one day slack will allow free usage for the big OSS communities and open up all the logs as like a PR move
Does anybody know exactly what SRE engineers are doing? Exactly what are they coding? CNCF projects?
I'm a regular software engineer working on CNCF projects, I've been an SRE in the past, some of my colleagues are, some aren't?
iâm just kinda confused of the SRE term, since âtheyâre working on the uptime of their companiesâ doesnât tell me much about what exactly they are doing. Looking/using monitoring tools and waiting until something will break? đ what kind of software do they write? (I guess I intended to write this, but I didnât)
sure. monitoring software, deployment software, logging software. CNCF projects are a great example in this realm.
honestly when I'm in a full SRE role I'm not 100% certain what I'm working on day to day, I'm chasing down the next thing, putting parameters about it, and optimizing those parameters I've set.
which demands some level of understanding around what makes software reliable already.
and that might be fixing some monitoring, but that also might be writing some software to handle some weird thing. I think ideally it's very self-driven with a lot of tolerance for custom, in-house software.
One of my friend has started a startup https://www.squadcast.com/. They are trying to automate SRE operations. Really cool stuff.
