I've released version 2.2.0 of Exosphere, my patch reporting program for remote UNIX systems.

It contains support for SSH connection pipelining, with associated tools to manage their state, as well as an exhaustive polish pass.

Multiple internal systems have been refactored to be much cleaner and easier to maintain.

It's time to throw the line out again.

I have been working in SRE for 13 years. I am a specialist in Observability, Incident Management, and DevEx. I have also managed teams and been certified in observability, agile, and unix operating systems.

In June of 2025, I was suddenly laid off. I'm still jobless in my seventh month of trying to find work.

I'll be completely honest, I don't know why I can't find a role, I'm either over- or under-qualified, I either give too much detail or not enough, I don't tell it like a story or I tell it too much like it's a story.

The people I used to work with have been shocked when I tell them I can't find work. One of them even said:

"you have such a great mix of talents that I wish more engineers had, and I still cite you as an example of the type of people I want to work with"

If you know of any leads in the SRE, DevEx, DevOps, InfoSec, or anything of the sort, I'm still searching as hard as I can.

Remote, I'm in Southern California.

I just did a scan of almost 300 companies and applied to a dozen Sr/Staff SRE roles I found. I've already got screens scheduled with 4 of them, which is more movement than I expected, but maybe I hit the good list on https://stillhiring.today

I didn't really limit myself, if it was remote I applied. So I have a really weird cross section of verticals.

- There are a lot of AI startups of all kinds
- A handful of AI companies that were formerly not AI companies
- The second largest set feels like healthcare
- Still a strong showing in blockchain
- CRM of different kinds

It may come as no surprise that there aren't any companies out there that agree what a Staff SRE does.

I finally decided to write to make me feel like my quivering existence isn't merely job search anxiety. So what started as a simple book review sorta took on a life of its own!

Since @adrianco turned me on to Architecture for Flow by @suksr, I have been simmering with thoughts about it. I finished it last month and it has shaped what I've answered during interview questions.

But not only that, Susanne has created a great stepping-off point for me to talk about how to treat Incident Management in the context of achieving Architecture for Flow:
