SA Tenets
A tenet is a belief held as true by the members of a profession. Here is a list of my tenets, as I understand and believe them. None of these are my own creation – I have learned them from my respected bosses and coworkers.
I stand on the shoulders of giants as I share them with you.
- First, Do No Harm
- If You Can’t Measure It, You Can’t Manage It
- Manage the interesting
- If You Can’t Open It, You Don’t Own It
- Automate The Hell Out Of Everything
- Oncall Applies In Both Directions
- Eat Your Own Dog Food
- Mistakes Are OK
- Document everything
- Hire Potential, Train Knowledge
