My colleagues in compute efficiency and performance have started posting our advice series: I'm particularly fond of #39, which points out the simile: unit tests are to microbenchmarks as end-to-end tests are to application benchmarks.

I've been living with the "tests as signals" (not just a conjunction of booleans) and "CI as alerting" model for a few years and it's *so* helpful in improving test quality. I hope the idea resonates with others.

I am *so* looking forward to this. I've put hundreds of hours in on how to think/act upon/manage TD, and talked to *thousands* of Googlers. And now I've got thoughts. :).

My favorite comes from DORA and the State of DevOps report last year: focus on documentation quality (internal facing) is predictive of good outcomes, and even more fundamental than things previously taken as fundamental. So yes, go update docs and playbooks. It matters.

Hey, DevOps and Software engineering research folks: what're your favorite research results? . (I almost said "Favorite under-cited results" but I think it's all under-cited.). RTs appreciated. 👍.
