HN discussionwhat Google calls "SREs." Rather than explaining what it is, this guy's google groups post... I liked OmniTI's description of a role akin to SRE and the progression through the web operations career path they identify: http://omniti.com/seeds/what-is-web-operations . "This role is in no way fitting for failed developers, it is for developers/engineers that have outpaced their career path. One that has a deep underst…

HN discussionIt would help a bit. At the moment there's no indication at all of who is running this thing. The only way I'd trust something like this is if someone stood to take a major blow to their reputation if it failed. Google, Amazon, AOL would be fine. A company that made a living doing high profile operations work (like http://omniti.com/ ) would be OK. An anonymous web page doesn't cut it.
