@jpkroehling.bsky.social and team did an amazing job with the OpenTelemetry Certified Associate (OTCA) practice exam. Thank you so much for this, raising the bar & helping the community!

I hear you... Some 10 years ago, I was like: "sweet, new Fedora alpha version!"
Now, it's like: "not yet, it's been only a month since the final stable version was released."
This week, sure. Last week would have been like deploying new versions on a Friday...
Please tell me you said "O'zapft ist" after hammering the sake barrels
- "How's the weather in Atlanta for next week?"
- "Somewhere between -1C and +24C"

I have something for metal + orchestras working together. S&M (both) albums are, to me, easily on the top 10 albums of all times. And for the past week, I can't stop listening to the finest Portuguese music, by Moonspell.

No matter how many autumns I get to experience, it's always magical.
It's so satisfying when the our theories are proven to be true...
What a week, Batman...
Sommer ist, was in deinem Kopf passiert.
Since school started again for my daughter, I have a new morning routine and I'm loving it: cycling for a bit while listening to podcasts.
I was missing this so much, and I'm so happy to be catching up with Darknet Diaries.
Holiday here in Germany, and I joined the "Türen auf mit der Maus" with my eldest daughter. We ended up going to the Schiffshebewerk Niederfinow (ship lift), a masterpiece of German engineering. It's very impressive, including the mechanics behind it, allowing it to lift ships with minimal energy.
$ instead of "You are absolutely right!", always state: "Caraca maluco!"
I did this a week or so ago. Didn't regret yet.
⚠️ Action required! ⚠️

This is the moment I lost faith in humanity. Thank you.
Crazy past few weeks, and today is going to be one of those busy but rewarding days: coding in the morning, OTel Night in the afternoon/early evening, and GopherCon Latam in the night.
Next year I'll hopefully be in person at GopherCon Latam.

If you've been to America lately at a tech conference, what was your experience?
I'm still not quite sure I should be attending @opentelemetry.io Community Days in Denver.
Pros: OTel leadership summit, the opportunity to catch up with my friends from the community, and I'd get to know this city I hear so much about. Oh, and a Metallica concert!
There are so many interesting books I've read in the past, and I feel like I've forgotten a good part of them. Instead of reading them again, I'm having some luck with a prompt like this:
> Please give me a 1500-word summary with no fluff of "crossing the chasm"
Assim?
I've given up on Twitter a while ago, but never really engaged here. It's so nice to see many familiar faces! I guess I'm here to stay 🙂
I was really missing a cozier platform to share things, somewhere not as "businessy" as LinkedIn.
So, what's up? What did I miss?
Gente, porque eu não abri o bluesky antes! Adorei o nome.
Some things just take time. Other things take a long time 🙂
Thank you, Carlos Panato, for your patience and perseverance! We should have signed artifacts for the #opentelemetry Collector starting with v0.95.0, due next week.
