Hi, I’m Josh (he/him)

I’m obsessed with #devops, #observability and #databases. I’m a Developer Advocate at Altinity. I run a home lab and I have no idea what’s on any of the assorted thumb drives around my home in Western Massachusetts.

@adrianamvillela.bsky.social and @joshleecreates.bsky.social showed us why OTEL didn't follow the pattern of xkcd.com/927/

Great talk! It always helps to understand where the purpose of one tool ends and others need to take over.

My green flag for a cafe is when they don’t ask you “what size” you want your cappuccino

Small Data Small Data Small data appears to be a very exciting movement that is moving the overton window away from Big Data onto much simpler and cheaper solutions ...

when I say “storage is cheaper now” this is what I mean

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich."

A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

Finally got to meet @didiviking.bsky.social in person at #sreday - her talk showcasing the @victoriametrics.bsky.social cardinality explorer was great!

@hazelweakly.me Ok, I give in. I'm adopting "Lakehouse" terminology and have added it to my personal spell-check dictionaries. One day I will represent a technology that is already in spell-check... one day.

My favorite game to play in touristy parts of the UK is: “which side of the sidewalk are we walking on now?”

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

SO sorry about the treatment your specialists and engineers received at the hands of our secret police goon squad. That's normally something we reserve for a different race of people who we like even less, hope you understand. Please come back

I've been having fun working with @joshleecreates.bsky.social on our KCD Warsaw talk, which includes coming up with fun graphics. Here's one we came up with yesterday.

If you're Canadian, you'll get this take on the "No Name" brand using #OTel. If you're not, look up "No Name brand". It's a hoot.

Open formats are arguably even more important than open source - which is one of many reasons why I love #OpenTelemetry - join me in Elicium 1 for an intro! #ossummit

I’m not usually one to indulge in meta-discussions about #DevRel, but @horovits.bsky.social ‘s excellent talk at #ossummit spawned some very interesting ideas and conversations!

With the announcement of the formation of the DevRel Foundation under the LF, I’m excited for maturity.
