Hey VirusNewbie, thank you for your response! A few more questions if you don't mind.

Did you read the SRE handbook before applying?

How do you decide who gets alerts (or are devs never on call)?

Worked for a company that Citrix acquired a few years ago. They seemed to have went all in on something called Kepner-Tregoe. I left shortly after my week long training course, which I didn't get much out of other than a stay in a nice hotel. As I was leaving they were downsizing and one of their techniques was to match 2 people together and say "We will be comparing your performance against each other for the next 6 weeks, after that, the worst performer will be fired". Pretty awful.

I had a Ship of Theseus moment after getting my laptop repaired by Apple. They pretty much had to replace everything except for the bottom case, so when I went to sign in with my apple id I got a message saying "we have sent a message to your other device". But there was no other device. Took over a month to resolve and I also kept getting the annoying pop up message asking me to check the ID.

Been a while since I read both books, but other than a vaguely similar shape, what makes the Affront clearly a juvenile version of the dwellers? I read the wiki you mentioned and there is a story suggesting an early version of contact rescued them from dweller hunts, but no mention of where this idea came from. I'm a huge fan and believe I have read everything Banks has written and do not recall the story.

Nice, it even has the missing weeks in September 1752..

He seems to mostly play cash games in Asia. You will see him if you watch the triton streams sometimes. Not sure if he's in contention as an absolute top flight player any more with the use of solvers and GTO strategies.

Linus Loeliger (llinusllove) and Jonas Mols (OtB_RedBaron) are probably some of the best online players currently.
