Why continuous profiling is the fourth pillar of observability | Datadog Learn how modern continuous profilers have transformed profiling into a core observability practice.

Check out this new blog post outlining how profiling is becoming the fourth pillar of observability 🚀.

“Reason 5: OTel SDKs are complex and can be very slow”

It is really challenging to maintain this level of performance and simplicity without breaking any of the downstream systems like Kubernetes and Prometheus.

How we tracked down a Go 1.24 memory regression across hundreds of pods | Datadog We rolled out Go 1.24 and saw a memory regression. Here's how we dug into system metrics, uncovered a bug in the runtime allocator, and worked with the Go team to help fix it.

Fantastic new blog post from my colleague Nayef.

👇 This is what we have been working on.

It is a must-watch if you would rather not instrument your #go programs yet want to have all the benefits of observability!

And Hannah is awesome! Brace yourself for the first-class memes!

AI is a tool (sorry!) that people who are bad at their jobs will use badly and that people who are good at their jobs will maybe, possibly find some uses for. People who are terrible at their jobs (many executives), will tell their employees that they “need” to use AI, that their jobs depend on it, that they must become more productive, and that becoming an AI-first company is the strategy that will save them from the old failed strategy, which itself was the new strategy after other failed business models. The only journalism business strategy that works, and that will ever work in a sustainable way, is if you create something of value that people (human beings, not bots) want to read or watch or listen to, and that they cannot find anywhere else.

This is very good.

Maybe I can finally learn German this way!!? 🤔 😛

This week was tough, but this made my day ❤️ #opensource

Finally did it—after a decade, Go officially overtook Ruby as my actively* most-coded language! 🥳 Took a long journey from my caffeinated Ruby-monkey days to becoming a dedicated gopher.

Progress!

Looking for a tool that automatically rewrites old error-checking patterns to use errors.Is / errors.As for #golang

I know github.com/polyfloyd/go... catches these issues, but I need something that fixes them. Does such a tool exist?

Open-weight models aren’t open-source. They’re just ‘look but don’t touch’ machines. Stop pretending.

The Tao of Go — Bitfield Consulting What is the Tao of Go, and how can we work with it, like a surfer going with the waves instead of struggling against them? By being kind, simple, humble, and not striving; here’s how.

This one’s a bit dated, but it’s a great reminder of Go’s design philosophy. Simplicity, readability, and pragmatism over cleverness. Always worth revisiting! #golang
