observability, "test in production", engineering-management pendulum

Charity Majors is co-founder and CTO of Honeycomb.io, a software observability platform built around high-cardinality event data. She is widely cited for reframing observability beyond metrics and logs, and for her essay series on the engineering-management pendulum, which argues that switching between IC and manager roles is healthy rather than a step backwards.
