People and story

Built from MSP escalations, not slide templates

Tech SysCode began when three escalation engineers kept rewriting the same sticky-note diagrams for clients across Gyeongsangbuk-do. We formalized the rituals: paper first, evidence second, humor only after the outage is contained.

Principles we defend

  • Evidence over bravado: If it is not logged, it did not happen.
  • Rotation respect: Quiet-hour scheduling beats hero culture.
  • Documentation debt: We grade runbooks, not personalities.
  • Honest scope: We say when a topic needs a vendor specialist instead.
