Useful resources for Ops folks
Good morning everyone! I'm off on a short vacation, and so you don't get bored, I decided to drop a few useful sources we've generated for Ops folks in our community. Drop links in the comments to things that helped you level up at some point 😉
By the way, ChatGPT generated the structure (the sources themselves we put together with colleagues), it turned out to be handy to feed it several unstructured messages with links, and it then categorized the sources by a template and prompt and fit them into a channel post. Saved a lot of time and manual work.
