[pessimizer]

Whatever part of dev/ops that applies to me personally is very much tied up in 'full-stack' debugging of intermittent performance problems and heisenbugs.

I rely on the ops guys to keep vanilla installs steady and to keep everything patched, but there's very little way that they can get insight into application problems (especially in the framework du jour) that express themselves at some other location in the stack. I just have to know the whole thing.
