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...

You would:

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.
