I like aquariums, rust, Scala, video games and observability. OpenTelemtry contributor.
This was one of our favorite games since the Kickstarter delivered! Hope you expand it more

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?

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.

Quite the evolution. Feel like I need to go back and find my photos

It's really quite powerful. It also makes me wonder what the end state for ottl will be.

My suspicion is that structured processing and streaming data are implicitly hard and query/processing languages have complexity that you can't actually remove without making it useless.

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.
