The Google’s Site Reliability Enginnering is the one of the books, that have been recommended or talked about by almost all the experienced DevOps, SRE, or cloud/infrastructure engineers, I ever got a chance to have a conversation.

Even in some of my recent interviews, there were discussions around the book. So, I no longer need any more facts to convice myself that this book is certainly a must read not only...

Okay, finally I’m here writing something technical. I’m still not sure what’s gonna be the flow but I’m keeping my hopes high (or otherwise I'll strike it once I'm done XD).

Apart from the daily office working hours, nowadays, I’m devoting a good part of my day, actually working on constructing some good habits in myself (oh yea, definitely, meanwhile improving the bad ones).

To me, reading books, writing morning pages, daily journal, taking occassional hand-written notes and doing my meditation, I consider all of these as the best things, that I’ve built & earned over past few months. And...
