Lightning Talk: ObservabilityWithout Monitoring - A Thought Experiment
summary
Argues monitoring doesn’t always yield observability: black‑box cars and electric models hide telemetry so users and mechanics rely on slow, noisy signals and lab delays, while attaching an OBD device or a continuous glucose monitor gives direct, actionable data. Proposes a thought experiment equating a missing medical tricorder to absent observability, notes user reports are biased and incomplete, and emphasizes that attaching sensors changes diagnosis from guesswork to measurable signals.
