Nobody remembers to invite me to things, or at least that's what I tell myself BUT I HAVE FOUND THE #failoverconf LIVESTREAM.

I will thus be livetweeting J. Paul Netflix's keynote in a couple of minutes in this thread.

It always feels to me like introducing @jpaulreed is an understated apology. Poor @gitbisect drew the short straw this time.

Shoutout to @jpaulreed's mother, who is watching the livestream. That's incredibly sweet. #FailoverConf

This title comes from @jpaulreed's incredibly resilient hobo beard acting as a halo for his face. #failoverconf

His mother's hobby is texting @jpaulreed to ask if Netflix is down.

And now we learn why he's been so big on "blameless" culture for all of these years. Otherwise we blame him! #failoverconf

R-word Redux. #Failoverconf

He's doing a heroic job, but @jpaulreed without a functioning airline going through an incident is a sad @jpaulreed indeed. What's he to talk about?! #failoverconf

This man was a metaphor for shell scripting in any modern infrastructure.

I still feel like "taking advice on the operation of resilient infrastructure from a movie company" is like taking moral guidance from @steak_umm, but these are nutty times. #failoverconf

"Agile is just based on Lean" is @jpaulreed's contribution to the "we're not arguing with each other about meaningless nonsense" problem. #failoverconf

And @jpaulreed now takes Q&A that I have made up.

"So you're an expert on the incredibly nuanced field of resilience engineering... and all of that smart is just so we can stream movies?"
"No, we also produce original content."

"At Kitty Hawk, did Great Grandpa Reed stand over the Wright brothers as they lay hurting on the sand asking them what they'd learned?"
"I don't have to answer that.
