Today's #RealWorldCode livestream, where we worked to remediate outage-inducing IO overload on a production database, left me surprisingly emotional.

So I'm gonna thread about inclusion, formal & informal dev education, and performance work.
Performance work is, hands-down, the single most impostor-syndrome-inducing area of development work I do. I'm pretty good at remediating perf issues within normal business applications, but it's hard to remember that.

Because of how perf work has traditionally been taught.
Performance work isn't formally taught. It's informally taught, through mentorship networks, often during or because of an incident. Effective performance work traditionally required deep knowledge of monitoring tools & a specific system's idiosyncracies. Hard to get from a book.
