All things considered, personally doing ok, and slowly getting better.

Starting to show up publicly again. Not sure I have the coordination to skateboard, volleyball has been my midlife skill pickup

Hey! Long time. How's life treating you?

Survey closing in 10 days. If you use OTel as a developer, tell us about your experience!

Sad news indeed. Brendan was a force in any room. A great colleague and an old friend. He will be missed.

That was an excellent write up, Adam, thank you for that.

Turtles all the way down...

1. Do cool, powerful stuff.
2. Think: "This is easy".
3. Ignore it for built in "query" helpers.
4. Run away screaming.

Select all that apply.

New on our blog: #OpenTelemetry for Generative AI

You could argue that's the point of abstraction - I don't want to care (until it's not working).

Last point I'd disagree with.

The goal in o11y around unknown unknowns is having a bare minimum mechanism of *gaining* understanding.

The reality is folks aren't motivated to learn their full system until there's a problem.
