I feel like the space moves fast, and I need a way to keep up with it better. In an ideal world I would want to see best practices for different tools, and pipelines so I can evaluate them and adopt what makes sense.

- SRE Weekly (https://sreweekly.com/) - Curation newsletter on interesting links in SRE
- SRE Prodcast (https://sre.google/prodcast/) - Good podcast by Google on SRE. They pick a specific topic and then interview an expert on that so each episode is well focused. They also provide transcripts so you can just read through it instead of listening.
- Resilience in Action (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/resilience-in-action/i...) - Another good podcast on SRE with interviews.
If you just want a listen of resources, then you should check out the Awesome SRE repo on github - https://github.com/dastergon/awesome-sre
I propose 2 young YT channels that worth watching about reliability and observability
- Slight Reliability (https://www.youtube.com/c/SlightReliability) Podcast from Stephen TOWNSHEND
- Is it Observable (https://www.youtube.com/c/IsitObservable) from Henrik REXED
In the Operations space my favorite writer is Charity Majors, although a lot of what she talks about isn't OPs specific:
Rachel by the Bay is also great:
Totally not related, but Phil Eaton's posts on how databases work are super interesting and lack fluff.
In terms of CI and builds, I try to write some on this topic for the Earthly Blog. My Bazel article was recently on Hn. Here are my posts:

Warning though, I also write about lots of other stuff. Are there specific CI topics you'd like to see covered?
That is a good read thank you.

If not, which is what the diagram implies, how do you handle two branches with two PRs trying to get merged in, since there is a chance that they will create conflicts with each other. Do you force branch tests sequentially?
This is a bit of a pain in busy repos

We also have a podcast about engineering that frequently touches CI/CD as a topic:
Or Docker images have K, L problems that Podman doesn't have. However Podman has W issue so you have to decide which pain you want to live with.
That kind of stuff.

Even just a maintained “start to finish” of what someone thinks is current best practice for project development would be a fantastic resource.
