04 — FIELD NOTES
From the field.
Observations from building operational systems in the physical world.
FIELD RELIABILITY
Drilling operations taught me that most software reliability assumptions are wrong.
Before working in these environments, I mostly thought about reliability in traditional software terms: service uptime, response times, infrastructure failures. Field operations introduce a completely different set of constraints.
→ READ MORESYSTEM INTEGRATION
Most operational data problems are integration problems.
Not because the systems are broken. Because they were never designed to work together in the first place. In industrial environments, a single operational workflow often spans dozens of disconnected systems.

The problem with most industrial dashboards isn't visualization. It's trust.
They're designed like reporting tools instead of operational systems. A dashboard can look impressive and still fail the people using it every day.
