Sentry CEO: startups gluing OTel onto ClickHouse will be the next o11y failures

- The quoted post proposes that the next gen of observability products is just ingesting OTLP into ClickHouse/DataLake and enabling alerts for agents, not people.
- Sentry co-founder David Cramer pushes back: that's the next round of failed o11y startups—every company that slapped together some OTel on ClickHouse went nowhere. The things that matter around such systems didn't stop mattering; LLMs didn't remove the need for critical engineering, and a giant warehouse of trash with inference always running is not a good system.
