We just launched powerful new capabilities in the Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline, including graphical pipeline building functionality and "Enhance", which gives teams the ability to do the detective show-style "enhance the letters on that plate" for sampled data.

AMA Thurs/Fri on @honeycomb.io!

I briefly forgot that in Canada, the political colours are reversed
Not gonna lie, Trudeau has singlehandedly saved his own career and the Liberal Party in the span of two months.

All what it took was a little boost from down south. (1/🧵)

Good question! I'm curious to hear about what similarities exist between the companies folks note as exceptions.

What's the best-run tech company over 500 people? I often hear about folks' struggles inside big companies: are there conspicuous exceptions? Why do you think these orgs work? (Please don't hijack this to complain, I specifically want to hear what people feel works well at scale.)

I'm working on a new typeface for my Canadian and Mexican friends to liberate them from American typography.

I call it Sans Tariff. It's like any other font you can get from the US these days but about 25% smaller.
