Devops and Dadops
Karthik Gaekwad gave a talk about his experience transitioning from devops to "dadops" as he prepares for the birth of his first child. He discussed how many aspects of parenting, such as learning on the job, sharing resources with other parents, automating tasks, and monitoring metrics are similar to the devops mindset of continuous learning, collaboration, automation, and measurement. He also humorously compared the challenges of on-call support for devops to being on-call as a parent.
