Christine Yen is the CEO and co-founder of Honeycomb, the observability platform that helps engineering teams understand what their software is actually doing. A developer by background, she built products at Facebook before co-founding Honeycomb to bring fast, flexible observability to the rest of the world. 

Recorded live from the floor of HumanX 2026, this lightning round explores what observability means now that both humans and agents are writing, shipping, and debugging code.

Christine and host Dan Turchin dig into why the code was never the real source of truth, why "more" has become the watchword of the agentic era, and what it takes for teams to agree on what good actually looks like before they build it.

What You'll Learn

Why the code was never the real source of truth, and what to observe insteadHow the software development lifecycle is collapsing as PMs, designers, and engineers become buildersWhy the system that writes the code should not be the one that judges itHow defining "good" in plain English keeps quality measurable, whether people or agents build itWhat responsible AI looks like in practice, from disclosure norms to protecting human attention
