After 15 years complaining about how we can never find enough SREs to hire, I designed and taught a class for computer science majors called "Managing Complex Systems." I will talk about how this went and what it says about the long-term future of the industry. Mikey Dickerson was an SRE and manager at Google from 2006-2014. He led the ad-hoc healthcare.gov repair effort in 2013, then founded the U.S. Digital Service in the Obama White House. Currently, he does consulting work with Layer Aleph LLC, teaches part time, and operates an astronomical observatory in rural Arizona. ### 10:35 am–11:05 am
