Global SRE Conference Webinar June 16th 2022
summary
Describes concrete lessons on stepping from IC to manager: stop doing two jobs, delegate learned expertise even if ramp costs feel higher, and holding work back blocks team growth; shows how a successful SRE hire came after advocacy and explains sizing constraints — e.g. Google policy of 12 people two locations for a new SRE org; and demos modern open‑source test tooling (Cypress component testing, Puppeteer, Playwright) plus mobile stacks (Flutter, Appium, Espresso, XCUITest) to enable shift‑left continuous testing.
