Jonan Scheffler interviews Observability Economist, SLOgician, and Zendesk Site Reliability Engineer  Fred Moyer about being a “SLOgician,” which he explains is someone who works on SLOs from a statistics perspective. 

Additionally, a lot of his work is being what he describes as an “observability economist.” Fred works a lot with Zendesk’s observability systems. And because they’ve been growing so rapidly as a company, they've been scaling rapidly as well. Therefore, he works to ensure that they’re using their observability economically.
