Discover why AI-generated code creates unprecedented challenges for debugging systems and why observability is no longer just an ops concern but essential to software delivery. Charity offers candid insights on high-cardinality problems, the parallels between music and engineering, and why understanding systems through their outputs is more critical than ever in today's rapidly evolving tech landscape.
