Welcome to Coffee or Blog

This is a brain dump of DevOps, SRE, automation, and technical management topics. A place where technical expertise meets strategic thinking, and where lessons learned are shared over metaphorical coffee.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog explores the intersection of:

  • DevOps & SRE: Real-world experiences, best practices, and hard-won lessons from building and maintaining reliable systems
  • Automation: Practical approaches to making technology work smarter, not harder
  • Technical Management: Bridging the gap between technical excellence and effective leadership
  • Systems Thinking: How everything connects, from code to culture

The Philosophy

Great technology isn’t just about the code, it’s about the people, processes, and principles that bring it to life. These posts aim to capture both the technical depth and the human context that makes engineering work meaningful.

Sometimes it’s about the tools. Sometimes it’s about the teams. Always it’s about learning and sharing what works (and what doesn’t).

The Name

“Coffee or Blog” is a playful nod to the binary choices we face every day. Should I grab another coffee or write that blog post? The answer, more often than not, is both. The best ideas often come during those quiet moments with a warm cup in hand, reflecting on what we’ve learned and how to share it.
