Last sentence, second last paragraph

Sentence:
"In order to know if things are working, you have to start at the top instead, which I covered xref."

"xref" should be instead be a reference to the previous place this top down was discussed. My guess is on page 24.
Looks like this might be because you use LaTeX and \xref{reference} is the way you tell LaTeX that you want to make a reference.

Thanks for an interesting book on an important topic!

Note from the Author or Editor:
Original line ending was "... which I covered earlier in the book." and was changed to "... which I covered xref." during post-production (seemingly accidental). Needs to be reverted for future releases.

Last paragraph

"because you often want alerts them going to a human"

"them" should be removed

Note from the Author or Editor:
Good eye! Definitely a typo left over from editing. We'll get this fixed in the next print run.

Thanks for the bug (er, errata) report!
