In this episode, we sat down with Sylvain Kalache, Head of Developer Relations at Rootly, and wow—what a ride. We dove headfirst into the world of self-healing systems, LLMs in incident management, and why "incident vibing" (yep, that's a thing now) might be our collective future.


Sylvain’s journey started with on-call SRE work at SlideShare and LinkedIn, where he noticed recurring failures and dreamed of a system that could fix itself. This episode is the story of that dream maturing over the years—culminating in AI-powered incident response tools that don’t just detect problems but actively hypothesize root causes and suggest resolutions.

We came away from this chat with one big takeaway: The future of incident response is fast, AI-assisted, and increasingly human-centric. But to get there, we need to treat LLMs like tools, not oracles—and be very intentional about how we use them.
