Listen Later

Do you feel like you're flying blind when it comes to your software?

In today's episode, we dive deep into the world of observability - it's not just monitoring on steroids, and we'll explain why. Our guest, Charity Majors, co-founder and CTO of Honeycomb, will break down the concept and how it's changing the game for developers.

Get ready to hear about:

  • Observability 1.0 vs. 2.0: Is your toolkit stuck in the past? We'll explore the evolution of this critical practice.
  • AI in Debugging: Friend or foe? We'll discuss the role of AI in software analytics and why it won't solve all your problems (but can definitely help!).
  • The Single Source of Truth: Tired of juggling metrics, logs, and traces? Honeycomb's approach might be the answer you've been looking for.
  • Building a Boring Company: Forget ping pong tables and nap pods. We'll chat about why a well-run, functional company might be the key to long-term success.

    • So buckle up, developers and ops folks! This episode is packed with insights to help you see your software like never before.
