Modern systems have good observability and better tooling than ever, yet testing often remains manual and slow. In your experience, what aspects of testing can actually run autonomously today, and what still seems fundamentally hard or unsolved?

When debugging issues in UAT, what information do you end up recreating by hand? Logs, state, timing, data, versions, or something else?

Across backend/infra, frontend/mobile, and distributed systems, what information do you most often find missing from bug reports that would materially speed up debugging? What low-level context (state, inputs, environment, timing, etc.) do you wish you reliably had?

I’m looking for examples of high-quality engineering blog posts—especially from tech company blogs, that go beyond surface-level explanations.

Specifically interested in posts that: 1. Explain technical concepts clearly and concisely 2. Show real implementation details, trade-offs, and failures 3. Are well-structured and readable 4. Tie engineering decisions back to business or product outcomes

Any standout blogs, posts, or platforms you regularly learn from?
