Описание: A realistic week in my life as a software engineer at Amazon during on-call. After my team was merged and the support layer was laid off, the 5AM pages and SEV-2s hit differently. From technical breakdowns to the theater workshops and workout classes that saved me, this is the honest truth about SDE life right now.
