Engineering, automation, and… chaos monkeys?  🤔🙊Amy Smidutz, Director of Delivery Engineering at Netflix, explains how breaking things during production helps increase resilience to failure.

In this episode, you’ll learn how large companies like Netflix deliver content seamlessly to hundreds of millions of subscribers. Spoiler alert: it’s not what you might expect.

Counterintuitively, chaos experimentation and breaking things during production can actually help reduce fail-overs for millions and improve resiliency to outages. You’ll hear about the importance of reducing blast radius, why regional failures can prevent large outages, and how automating away certain tasks reduces human error.

ART: the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. But what makes a creative skill human?

Imagine a beginner artist who mixes a bunch of colors on a canvas on its first attempt at painting. Now imagine a beginner art critic that, based on a lot of art-related data, is learning and judging the artist. Naturally, the first want to please the second, so it gets better reviews, and by doing so, improves his skills.

Now imagine that the Artist and the Critic are both AI. Finally, imagine that by improving their skills, they allow the production of art pieces you can and want to buy.

This is not “the art of the future” but one of the art forms that we will learn to appreciate and consider a human creation.

After all, who is creating AI?
