have they though? i for one remember the "golden days" being much more about checking specific values for things you already know could happen than gathering telemetry to be able to ask questions you never would have even thought about asking at the time you set it up.

Out of curiosity, what relevance do you mean it would have for the specific topic I was writing about?

logs, traces and profiling were all viable parts of a good monitoring stack even prior to the term observability being coined.

Hey guys!

I've put together a curated list on software architecture. Would be awesome if you'd like to contribute with your best resources on the topic.

Thanks
