### Career

- Alice Goldfuss wrote an excellent article, [How to Get Into SRE](https://blog.alicegoldfuss.com/how-to-get-into-sre/), about her path to becoming an SRE.
- Alice also gave a great presentation - [Passing the Console: Fostering the Next Generation of Ops Professionals](https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa16/conference-program/presentation/goldfuss) at LISA16.
- Julia Evans wrote a couple of great resources on making your 1-on-1's with your manager more effective. 1-on-1s should _not_ just be a status report on what you're working on - you should be using them to focus on more big picture goals (both yours and the organizations) and your career. Read her article on [1-on-1 ideas](https://jvns.ca/blog/2015/03/06/1-1-topic-ideas/), and I recommend buying her [Help, I have a Manager!](https://wizardzines.com/zines/manager/) zine.
- [Don't Call Yourself A Programmer, And Other Career Advice](https://www.kalzumeus.com/2011/10/28/dont-call-yourself-a-programmer/) by Patrick Mackenzie is an article I wish I could have read at the start of my career.
