> Also notice that it is impossible to achieve in the real world.

It's certainly not easy to get to that point but it's entirely possible. Everything on the post you're replying to is how on-call works for me. It's not some imaginary world, it's reality.

Go to SRECon for example and talk to people there. You'll be surprised. Just because you haven't experienced it (yet) doesn't make it impossible.



Reality taught me to not trust what people reply, they have different standards.

Met way too many people who consider their on-call to be okay. And when digging deeper, they're being totally exploited and I wouldn't touch their positions/teams/organizations with a 10 foot pole.

People who care about on-call moved to contracting or positions where they are not on call, they're not coming back. I did and I ain't coming back ;)
