“If the computer can generate the required values then it should also be able to do the monitoring and alarms. And how does the operator monitor that the computer is working correctly, or take over if it obviously is not?”
“But if you’re under some deadline to add BPF observability, try thinking like a sysadmin instead and just build upon the existing tools. That’s the fast way. Think like a programmer later, if or when you have the time.”

Your first take. They tend do a lot of heavy lifting (eg: essential vs accidental complexity). I suspect the Legal department has a different view of what’s essential vs accidental. So what is the “complexity metric”?
