| # 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 |
|
|
| ## Sources |
|
|
| Two scrape backends, both Pushshift-compatible JSON: |
| - **PullPush** (api.pullpush.io) — original 792 posts |
| - **Arctic Shift** (arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com) — recovered 683 previously-missing posts (the open successor to Pushshift, no auth required) |
