Don't let the brightness of first-order benefits blind you from seeing the second- or third-order consequences.
This is pretty cool!
Standard: Measuring the health of your software.
Standout: Measuring the health of your humans.
We are launching the largest open-source initiative in @rootlyhq's history: On-Call Health
It helps engineering teams ensure their on-call responders aren't overworked or at risk of burnout.
Try it right now at oncallhealth.ai/. We provide mock data, no setup required.

We’ve spent years improving incident management with better tooling, automation, and now AI.
All of that matters.
But it’s not the thing that determines maturity.
As @chrisinchcom explains in his latest blog post: at the end of every alert is a human making decisions under pressure.
If your process burns them out, concentrates knowledge in a few heroes, or skips learning once the fire is out, the system isn’t resilient… it’s fragile.
Sustainable ops cultures are built by investing in people as deliberately as we invest in technology.
Tools scale response.
Humans determine resilience.
You can start making improvements to your incident management process today. I share a few tips with @rootlyhq .
Automation (and AI) doesn’t replace responders. It removes the work that shouldn’t require a human at 3 AM.
Part 2 of @chrisinchcom incident response maturity series looks at how tooling, automation, and AI reduce toil and make reliability sustainable.

Is Martin Short the hardest working man in show business? It’s a debate for the ages. But we really hope the answer is yes, because we put him in our commercial about how your money should work hard.

ICYMI, our Cash account now earns a minimum of 4% interest while giving you all the flexibility you need from a chequing account. And you earn 1% back on eligible purchases, too.
If you're still getting 0.0% interest on your chequing account, it might be time to switch.

Hey @citywaterloo and @DorothyMcCabe
Isn't the 21 century time we drop silly rules about grass length and not let it be someone's job to go around the city and use the measuring tape on it? Don't we want bio-diversity and fight for the climate?
I use @SlackHQ Huddles for daily standups. Every day:
- Launch the Huddle from our team channel
- Pop out the Huddle window from Slack
- Move the window to my other display
- Maximize the window
- Enable my camera
A mere 6 clicks later, and I'm ready. Please make this easier.

In our data at @YMCAWorkWell, feeling unappreciated is one of the biggest reasons why people are leaving their jobs.
If you're looking to build a culture of appreciation at work, dropping the mindset of "why would I thank someone for doing their job?" is a great place to start.
"How do you do?" - As a greeting, this one is pretty comical. "I do do just fine. And you? How do you do?"
