Bye #refactr and cAtlanta, was a pleasure prowling around and getting to mow at y'all :) --this ❄️🐆

Refactr 2019- Liz Fong-Jones

Sometimes the best way to puncture the illusion of accessibility is to show what actual accessibility looks like.

and that also includes posting my slides early so people can run a11y tools on 'em; that'll be here: drive.google.com/open #refactr

Catcalled outside the venue by a stranger :( but actually felt empowered enough by being at #refactr to say "FUCK YOU" instead of just ignoring it.

Come see me for some Honeycomb stickers if you're at #RefactrTech #refactr! :)

and now we have fewer manual errors and things are automated! much less frustration! [fin] #refactr

How do we avoid footguns? isolation policies, prevent_destroy, healthchecking, slack hooks, and wrapper scripts for refreshing state/committing plans. [ed: or TFE, which I'm glad I get to finally use ;)] #refactr

but it's easy to footgun yourself by downscaling your clusters... #refactr

If a tool isn't working or is confusing, migrate to something with a better learning curve! Don't let it put you off doing automation entirely, you have other options! #refactr

Clearing up the confusion: config orchestration (terraform, cloudformation) cloud infra provisioning vs. config management (chef, puppet) per-machine #refactr

"Knowing how the process works, even if you can't do it perfectly, means you're prepared to handle all the complaints..." --@cotufa82

(talking about her time in her family's hotel cleaning rooms, but also about ops work...) #refactr

Oh no, the "live captions" are *definitely* automated rather than remote captioned by a real human :( :( :(

The quality is awful. Points for trying but this really needs work. How much did @mozilla pay for sponsoring the "captions"? #refactr #refactrtech
