Just published a very opinionated 🔥 blog post on why I still recommend using Prometheus's native instrumentation libraries over @opentelemetry.io, especially if you mainly care about metrics and using them with @prometheus.io:

This has happened to me so many times! I always leave the tab for a pending review open, so I know what reviews I need to submit/complete...but too many tabs
This fear to start a @github review, have 17 pending comments and forget to click submit.
Instead I just avoid the review feature altogether and send comment by comment. Some reviewees of mine hate me because of the ton of notifications. Sorry. Send help 😀
