[BLU] Low Context DevOps: A New Way of Improving SRE Team Culture
Channel: bostonlinuxandunix
Date: 2020-12-18

(Wed, Dec 16, 2020) "Low and high context cultures" is an anthropological concept, which Tom leverages to create a framework for creating more effective SRE culture.

A high-context DevOps culture is one where most knowledge is unspoken, which can be very frustrating for new employees and a disaster in a "remote only"/COVID-19 team.

A low-context DevOps culture is one where the info you need to do your job is available, visible, and accessible. Creating a low-context culture improves remote teamwork, new-hire onboarding, enables project hopping, and helps you better handle a page you receive at 2am. Techniques include: smart defaults, "make the right way, the lazy way", and documentation at the right time and place.
