🎯 The future of software engineering is SRE

1️⃣ Writing a demo is easy - running a service is hard
Anyone can build POC, keeping a service reliable over time is the real engineering

2️⃣Software is hired for reliability, not impressiveness
You don't care how iCloud works, you just want your photos to magically

3️⃣ The first 90% is easy - the next 190% is hard
Getting a demo working is straightforward. Handling uptime, scaling, failure recovery, dependencies, security…

4️⃣ Service quality questions are the real engineering metrics
- How do we recover from failure?
- What happens when upstream breaks?
- Can we update without outages?

5️⃣ SRE means thinking long term
Software engineering is not just writing code, it’s keeping systems alive in the real world with messy data, users, timezones, and unexpected events
