Running evals across multiple open-weight models and hitting a reproducibility problem that's making me question how much of published bench…
Observability cost spiral: when your APM bill exceeds compute costs
We hit an awkward milestone last month — our observability stack (tracing + metrics + log aggregation) now costs more than the actual comput…
How do you handle flaky integration tests without just adding retries?
We have a growing suite of integration tests that hit real services (databases, message queues, third-party APIs). About 8-12% fail intermit…
