deepfates [verified] @deepfates · 8h Observability is an important part of monitoring and control. But a metric is only as good as its side effects. It takes work to maintain a metric and keep calibrated. If the metric does not inform action, it is merely costly noise. If what gets measured, gets managed, then we must consider what we truly want to manage, and how we can accurately measure it
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Cropped X post by @deepfates on observability, metrics and Goodhart-style side effects: a metric is only useful if it informs action, and what gets measured gets managed.
