AI Is Forcing DevOps Teams to Rethink Observability Data Management
As AI coding tools accelerate software delivery, they are also intensifying a problem DevOps and SRE teams have been dealing with for years: the unchecked growth of observability data. In this conversation, the founders of Sawmills argue that telemetry volume is no longer just a cost issue. It is becoming a data quality problem that […]
Sorry, Charlie, StarKist Wants AI With Good Taste
A surprising AI experiment showed that feeding a model sloppy code didn’t just produce bad programming, it produced bad behavior. The result points to something philosophers and DevOps engineers have long understood: Character, culture and incentives shape systems far more than rules alone.
The Observability Bill is Coming Due – and AI Wrote Most of It
Observability has always had a data quality problem. AI coding agents just made it catastrophically worse. Shimmy sits down with the co-founders of Sawmills to dig into why unmanaged telemetry is the unglamorous DevOps crisis that is quietly killing budgets — and what an agentic telemetry management platform actually does about it.
