The only good diff is a red diff.
Oooohh boy. Do you like articles? Cindy Sridharan has been on fire lately, with her pieces on the subject. Honestly I had kind of stuck my neck out there, insisting this definition makes sense, and all the monitoring boys were coming down really hard on me saying it was bullshit. Cindy researched the topic, read a bunch of the stuff on both sides, and wrote some brilliant long pieces with even more detail than me where she came to basically the same conclusions. It was super validating. I think observability is an idea whose time has finally come.
As for talks ... I'm not aware of anyone else talking about this just yet, though I hope that changes soon. You might check out my Strangeloop 2017 talk. I was super specifically pitching it to software engineers, trying to meet them where they're at. Let me know if you like it or not, please!
