It's those software flourishes that have me excited to try the iPhone Duo when it launches next month, but I'm less convinced that its hardware will be anything special.

Custom labels in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring: New updates for consistency and ease-of-use

In Loop Engineering and the follow-up on Graph Engineering, I went a level deeper into how the loop itself gets structured once you decide to build something. This month the question changed shape on me again. It stopped being "how do I build an agent" and became "which of the fifteen tools with agent in the p
