I'll share more details in a blog post soon(ish) as I think this technique could be useful to others working on a more curated telemetry experience for their #dotnet applications. 4/4

It's kinda hard to explain in a thread, but here's a before and after of the waterfall. Attributes from child spans are conditionally rolled up to their parent and some unused spans are conditionally suppressed. 3/4

The goal is to reduce overall spans sent to the backend, simplifying the waterfall and reducing storage. At the same time, it allows me to enrich trace telemetry with additional attributes to provide more context in the trace. 2/4

Congratulations!

Yep, you could use field is null if you prefer here too.

Got everything working nicely with data encrypted via Azure Key Vault. I'm not a fan of the SDK API. Wonder if there would be interets in videos of me re-coding it from scratch to explain the moving parts.

That's an approach I've yet to try but keen to see if that helps with the overall productivity.

Thanks, David. It sure can be a mix! Lots of highs and lows this year.

Thanks, Steve! Hopefully the infusions are starting to do their thing. We'll monitor in a few months to see if my levels have moved from near zero for the most crucial IgG.

I've decided to open up and occasionally post about my experience here. Partly as a means to raise awareness (especially around the value of plasma donation) and to hopefully help others facing a similar diagnosis searching for information. #cvid #raredisease #primaryimmunodeficiency

The infusion involves pumping 330ml of fluid into two injection sites under my skin in either my stomach or legs (today we are trying legs). It's uncomfortable during and sore for several days afterwards but worth it if it means less illness and longer term complications.

Today marks my 4th infusion as I continue training with a nurse at home on the procedure for correctly infusing a fresh batch of antibodies. End-to-end the process takes around 2 to 2.5 hours. Recovery time varies but so far I've been fortunate not to be hit too hard by side effects.

The upshot is I need to self-administer subcutaneous infusions of immunoglobulin G (IgG), derived from plasma donations every 3 weeks to provide my body antibodies to hopefully prevent serious infections taking hold like the pneumonia (leading to sepsis) which got me in January. #scig

What are your hot picks for components these days? My personal desktop is creaking and I've been toying with build vs. buy for a new developer and creator PC.
