Please stop using the word observability when you mean "generate telemetry" Telemetry data is important, but observability is about the understanding, not the data.

Top national security personnel using the fist and fire emojis after bombing Yemen. It's so disgusting for so many reasons. How did we get here again? Actually, don't answer that.

After I experienced yet another layoff, I lost nearly all motivation to do anything other than 1) find a way to pay the bills and 2) tend to family matters. But, since I got back to a stable gig (AKA no longer freelancing), why do I NOW have the motivation and creativity for side projects? 😅

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

I appreciate that Teams and Slack let me know my microphone is on mute whenever I sneeze. Allergies are pwning me today. 🤧 PS: What if we brought back the term 'pwn' in 2025?!

Koopa is adjusting to me not working from home every day. Can you tell he missed me? (Okay, he's on my lap. Not a great photo on second thought.)

I thought I was going to potentially lose King Koopa last week due to health concerns, but he pulled through. I'm so grateful. He's doing much better now. 😺💚💚
