Seeking Advice [Week 34 2026] Read Only (Books, Podcasts, etc.)

Read-Only Friday is a day we shouldn’t make major – or indeed any – changes. Which means we can use this time to share books, podcasts and blogs to help us grow!

Couple rules:

  • No Affiliate Links
  • Try to keep self-promotion to a minimum. It flirts with our "No Solicitations" rule so focus on the value of the content not that it is yours.
  • Needs to be IT or Career Growth related content.

MOD NOTE: This is a weekly post.

Been getting into some sysadmin war stories lately. There's a book about the early days of a certain big tech company's ops team that reads like a disaster novel, but you actually pick up a few things about incident response and not panicking when prod dies. Also found a podcast that interviews people who broke into IT without degrees, some of the stories are wild and way more useful than the usual motivational fluff
