Moujave Notes

Technology

Practical engineering, reliable systems and keeping complexity honest.

  1. Simple systems beat impressive systemsWhy understandable systems usually create more value than complicated systems built to look sophisticated.
  2. Automation should expose failure, not hide itA practical approach to automation that makes failed work visible, understandable and recoverable.
  3. A backup is not real until the restore worksWhy backup success messages are incomplete without tested recovery, useful evidence and clear ownership.
  4. Practical observability for small systemsThe small set of signals that makes a modest system easier to operate without building a monitoring empire.
