But.. alter data that gets executed (interpeter?), I mean, how does this work even in theory? All data is potentially code?

We don’t have time to tinker about for months on regulatory processes and making the our screws are “B6”. Software is a different industry.

Just for my curiosity could you name a non-clown industry?

My guess is aviation or .. defense?

We don’t have billions to throw away on making sure our about-dialog is memory safe.

This in fact makes me wonder if there is a good “operations center” not just “dashboard” but for all the dev things, websockets triggering, db stats, running queries etc. We have many semi-custom onprems, they do not behave properly as a fleet I cannot just act like they are cattle. These servers contain many products in many configurations. It’s all quite messy..

I find the CPU/disk space dashboards useless. Stuff like monit is useful but status of literal OS services is only part of the picture. There are many layers here and I sometimes wonder how others do this. Surely not all companies just have disposable fleets of “serverless” things?

Quickly eye-balling onprem responses, skipping over UIs and just eyeballing data in general is really useful. Curl can do it but with a couple headers it becomes messy, also RPCs, websockets, etc. It’s just convenient to have a single place where you can eyeball all comms.
