You Have Too Many Metrics

Isn’t this a case where the stock answer (RED / Golden 4 metrics) plus a link to the appropriate chapter of the SRE book is all you need?

If you wire up a simple Datadog / Honeycomb dashboard with those, plus log exploring, you have added lots of value that will definitely be used, for a team that clearly has no idea why they need o11y.

OK now I'm cracking up, I didn't realize o11y was a thing.

I was joking with my GenZ teammate that we use s5s (servers) and macroservices. Can we make m6h (monolith) a thing too please?

Can we go back to autocorrect and just spell the words out?

At this point they seem like some sort of secret handshake of the Eleven Society of Extraordinary Consultants.

Those are two different requests. Autocorrect may be a step up in legibility from word length indicators, but it's a big step down from typos.

I just swiped "accessibility" with a somewhat-below-par amount of care and attention, and the output was "aggressively".
