缘起
在 2021-10-03 我写了 码农幽默英语排行榜 S1E1 。 想不到事隔 3 年后，才有这个续集。
入行那么多年，总觉得这个行业，结合我们的儒家底蕴，很难在职场找到幽默感。而在这种大环境的艰难时刻，幽默感或者比宏大叙事更能度众生。故写此水文。希望不要太爛Gag（英文：Bad pun，或 Dry humour）

Monitoring is a means, not an end
Does it really have to be perfect?
…
Complexity is never free. Every alert you create, every dashboard, every metric, every log line, every trace span and every if statement has a cost.
…
So when designing, improving, or even just tweaking your monitoring, always consider if a simpler solution might make more sense overall.
No one can have a cake and eat it too
No one can have a cake and eat it too, but it does not mean we cannot have a half and eat a half.
没有人可以拥有一块蛋糕，且享用了它，但这并不意味着我们不能吃一半。

Can we focus on writing the content without worrying too much about typesetting? There seems a natural contradiction between content and appearance, and we always have to balance our time spent on these two aspects.
