Gauntlet AI founder Austen Allred proposes continuous low-bitrate screen recording of all company screens to replace complex observability tools

ya

neat thing about developer exception engineering is:

the happy paths are all happy in their own way.

the unhappy paths are ~universally the same.

@Austen This has been considered. Non trivial given many businesses have one off or periodic tasks (audits at specific time of the year) Also screen recording is for internal workflow mining, my point is for autonomous product improvement

@Austen Isn’t this what Meta started doing?

@Austen What would this look like, say, for an NFL game? Recording everything that was said by coaches on the sidelines and in the booths with coordinators, in the huddles, at the line, referees, and the plays themselves, etc?

@Austen coding... doomscrolling x .com... coding...

@Austen Yep. That’s how humans do it…

The high cost workflows are expensive because of the reasoning that happens off the screen combined with sporadic human knowledge. E.g., new contract has different ways of paying for risk adjusting patients and care and the system needs to be able to read contract, identify differences, and automatically deploy changes to task creation for human care team.

Countless of these examples where finance spends days figuring out why margin tanked, all patients are defaulted to lowest tier, and no process for reassessing.

@Austen It will be cool but, the screen recording!! 'everything done' consider DB cost as well it can be something more robust.

If you do mind, we could work around this. I mean anyone.
