How tarot-style fate cards can transform incident response practice into a collaborative, low-stakes game that improves skills, psychological safety, and systemic resilience.
How to use a playful, physical “night sky” of anomalies to deepen observability, strengthen debugging muscles, and build shared system intuition—especially in complex, regulated domains.
How to turn recurring bugs into structured, replayable “levels” for your team—combining incident reports, gamification, and AI-native tools to build a debugging arcade that developers want to practice in.
How a simple analog postcard rack with metaphor-driven visuals can transform incident postmortems from forgotten docs into a living, shared memory system for reliability learning.
How an old idea—physical sand tables—can help modern engineering teams understand and prevent cascading failures in complex systems.
How to turn every outage—no matter how painful—into a tiny patch in a growing ‘incident quilt’ of organizational learning, using structured retrospectives, strong on-call practices, and insights from major industry failures.
How to design a pocket-sized, analog "incident compass" using engineering principles to stay calm, reduce cognitive load, and communicate clearly during your worst on-call shifts.
How to design pocket-sized, paper-based debugging field guides—scanalog-style manuals that mirror your tools, follow proven practices, and evolve alongside your codebase to support real-world production incidents.
Explore a playful but practical metaphor for managing technical debt: treating your legacy systems like a desk‑sized terrarium that you monitor, prune, and gradually heal with intentional refactoring, reusable requirements, and modern tooling.
How to turn your next incident review into a memorable, tangible learning artifact by building a miniature 3D “shadowbox” that maps causes, context, and systems in physical space.
