What is the Fixing Incident Fatigue course about?

Every Monday, the same alerts trigger. The same services degrade. The same engineers get paged. You document post-mortems, but fixes don't stick. Runbooks exist, but they're outdated by the time they're used. Engineers improvise, increasing drift. Leadership questions reliability. You're expected to 'do more with less' , but the feedback loop is broken. This isn't failure of effort , it's failure of.

The situation this course is for

Every Monday, the same alerts trigger. The same services degrade. The same engineers get paged. You document post-mortems, but fixes don't stick. Runbooks exist, but they're outdated by the time they're used. Engineers improvise, increasing drift. Leadership questions reliability. You're expected to 'do more with less' , but the feedback loop is broken. This isn't failure of effort , it's failure of operational design. The system is not learning from its own incidents.
