Charity Majors says AI-generated code makes observability more critical
Overview
Honeycomb CTO Charity Majors tells O'Reilly Radar's Ben Lorica that as AI makes code generation effectively free, teams need observability to understand and support the software they ship.
She says nondeterministic systems require "more rigor, not less."
Majors recommends starting with OpenTelemetry autoinstrumentation and traces that capture an agent's decisions and steps through a task. She also argues that engineers should be "owners on the loop" of their agents.
