Reddit SRE + Founder corpus (v2)
1475 unique posts scraped from 15 subreddits between 2013-06-14 and 2026-06-19. Built for product discovery on the Kubernetes Incident Autopilot hypothesis — agents that reason at inference time through incident diagnosis, with humans in an override loop.
Subreddits (15)
SRE tier: r/sre, r/devops, r/kubernetes, r/sysadmin, r/aws, r/azure, r/gcp, r/programming, r/ExperiencedDevs, r/chaosengineering
Founder tier: r/Entrepreneur, r/startups, r/SaaS, r/IndieHackers, r/ycombinator
