A while back, inspired by Roy Rappaport’s manager readme, I created my own. Unfortunately too late for most of my Unity hires, but a fun reflection exercise anyway. I originally had this on our internal wiki, but I recently moved it to my github site as a more permanent location.

It’s worth checking out. Google have a free PDF of their Enterprise Roadmap to SRE Speaking of SRE, I’m hiring a lead…
