and, i guess, sometimes to be the corporate shill that my public persona is anchored on (though linkedin is usually good enough for that these days) 😬

i barely am, only when i'm in the mood to lurk (and inevitably be crushed by the existential despair of it all)

a visual pipeline builder showing "receive data -> send to s3 archive" and "receive data -> keep http errors -> keep slow traces -> sample 1 in 10 -> send to honeycomb" an engineer's speech bubble says "Let's adjust the sample rate."

Engineer: What's this user doing? Engineer 2: "Let's enhance with more data from our S3 archive." a Honeycomb query builder is shown with a heatmap and count, with a customer id and url selected. the button "enhance from archive" is highlighted, along with the time range being enhanced

We just launched powerful new capabilities in the Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline, including graphical pipeline building functionality and "Enhance", which gives teams the ability to do the detective show-style "enhance the letters on that plate" for sampled data.

To trust the polling, the trends are perhaps more distressing among those still too young to have even dipped their toes into the work force. According to the data analyst David Waldron’s assessment of the world-class Monitoring the Future Survey, run by the University of Michigan, in 2018, 84 percent of eighth- and 10th-grade boys said they agreed either “completely” or “mostly” that women should have the same job opportunities as men. Five years later, the number had fallen to 72 percent. The share who agreed “at all” that men and women should be paid the same money for the same work had fallen from 87 percent to 79 percent. The share who said they agreed “completely” with equal pay for equal work had fallen from 72 percent to 57 percent — just over half.

This isn't a stalled gender revolution. It's a gender counter-revolution. And the most troubling part is that it's younger men and boys the leading charge.

@sophiebits.com can't be messaged

eep

oh man. i would excitedly try the shit out of notion mail. (i can also be patient! signed up on the waitlist 🙌)

i was a huge fan of cron before notion bought it, and have been delighted that that product experience is as delightful as ever. excited to see what y'all do with email!

(i'm trying really hard not to attribute the performance degradation to the release of their AI functionality, though it's certainly happening on the same timeline. who really knows.)

ugh. superhuman has gotten so intermittently laggy that after 9 years (!) of being a loyal customer and not thinking about email software, i'm all ears for alternatives.

what's the new hotness for a fast + beautiful email experience these days? native app strongly preferred

“Founder Mode” and the Art of Mythmaking I’ve never been good at “hot takes”. Anyone who knows anything about marketing can tell you that the best time to share your opinion about something is when everyone is all worked up about it. Hot …

I (finally) wrote up my thoughts on "Founder Mode" and the Brian Chesky morality tale about how he turned around Airbnb company culture.

This has made it into the Silicon Valley water table; it must be dealt with. There are some good nuggets within; let's dig them out.

Observability in the Age of AI How will Honeycomb leverage AI in 2025? Find out from Charity Majors and Phillip Carter.

I'm proud that we're going public with some positioning on what @honeycomb.io actually believes AI represents:

A new, weird, and sometimes janky kind of virtual computer.

Stay tuned for a lot more clear-headed posting on applied AI in the coming year.

ngl—as i see all of you on here chatting away, given how long my public persona was Corporate Shill, i feel like i've forgotten how to be a human on the internet with other humans 🤔
