Let's reclaim what SRE actually means.
Hey, all!
I've been on this subreddit for a while, and I sometimes post content about SRE, as well as comment on questions in an attempt to be helpful.
One of the things I've noticed over the years is that a lot of us have SRE job titles but are stuck doing work that isn't SRE at all- being on-call for services without the means to improve their reliability meaningfully, doing manual tasks, support work, etc.
I built Reclaim SRE to give us a guide to share with others, especially when people are referring to SREs as primarily incident firefighters. I want to help us practitioners reclaim the meaning of SRE so that, in time, we're working in environments that are more fulfilling and aligned with the actual practice, rather than being stuck in ticket work and on-call hell.
Hope it's useful! Discussion very welcome.
