This week I'm joined by SRE leader Trent Hornibrook who shares a story about how he improved on-call early in his career, and then we explore the broader theme of focusing on the things that matter in observability, incident response, on-call, and beyond. We discuss...

🔌 Empowering engineers to implement change in your org
🧑‍🍼 Focusing on what matters (customer & business > technology)
👀 Not just adding more monitoring as the output of each PIR
😎 How autonomy can lead to accountability
🌳 How to influence change in an organisation

...and much more.
