I love the joke. The thing is, it's not so funny when companies actually try to do this on their own systems. I've never seen a 4x deep observability stack. But I have seen 3x, an entire project team dedicated to building a system that watches the watchers. It gets absurd.

This seems more valuable than one level down. Or is it up? Or in?

Ok, this is getting ridiculous…

This isn't funny anymore. Go to reddit to do this.
