THE JOURNAL
Notes from
the working day.
Small, practical ideas about looking after systems. Written for the people who have to use them, maintain them, and occasionally put them back together.
A backup isn't a backup until you've restored it.
A completed job is not the same as a recovery plan. Make room for the small restore exercise that tells you what you really have.
Small team. Fewer keys. Better access.
Shared logins tend to outlive the reason they were created. A simple account list and a few repeatable steps make growth easier to manage.
The best deployment is a boring one.
A good release should leave very little to remember. Smaller changes, visible checks, and a way back make a calmer working day.
