As always with Charity Majors this was a pretty great interview. Lots of repeat ideas with some good nuggets. One common new theme here is getting comfortable shipping code you have never seen before. Pointing out there are few real differences in the before and the now, a lot of the same priciple apply to get the right #obervability stack setup, the right deployment patterns setup. Now we don’t have a person that immediately jumps up and yell’s I wrote that, Sorry everyone, and has a fix in 2 minutes because they know the exact failure mode they caused in an instant. Charity truely believes the kids will be alright. She is working with some high school aged kids making some incredible projects right now. The industry will need to learn how to re-embrace juniors and the non grey-beards. Why I’m sharing this link.

- Just listened to this as I am really starting to get into grafana and feel like there isn’t a mountain of setup this time around realizing how much of my stack is brand new. Drill Down and Alloy are both new and key to my setup. The Ai integrations at the end sound wicked good, I will be interested if you can do similar things with an MCP vs how much proprietary stuff needs grafana cloud.
