I've spent *maybe too much* time thinking about logging. At npm, logging was my main tool for debugging the registry. At Google, I learned to log proactively so debugging rarely required a deployment. Now, as a PM at Sentry, I get to learn how developers across many companies
When and what should I be logging?

argument: dashboards are still applicable in a world where analysis of telemetry is being done with agents. they're just more ephemeral -- perhaps conveying info from a single investigation -- and *way* easier to build.

Create and edit Sentry dashboards with AI agents, the Sentry CLI, or pre-built templates you can clone and customize for your monitoring needs.

Good sign: we immediately relied on Application Metrics @sentry while building them. They're launching today 👏 Why care? • dead simple to instrument • connected to spans, errors, logs → actually see why something’s off the rails • generous free tier — great for hobby

I'm having far too much fun stress testing @sentry's new Application Metrics product. I can't decide if I like the "scrum_token" or "disruption_id" more.
