Ep. 5 - From Piano Keys to System Queries with Charity Majors
Join hosts Tim Higgins and Tony Davis as they welcome Charity Majors, co-founder and CTO of Honeycomb.io, who helped define modern observability. From piano major to systems engineer, Charity shares her journey founding "the original observability company" and how her experiences at Facebook and Parse shaped her vision. 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.
