Open-weight models aren’t open-source. They’re just ‘look but don’t touch’ machines. Stop pretending.

This one’s a bit dated, but it’s a great reminder of Go’s design philosophy. Simplicity, readability, and pragmatism over cleverness. Always worth revisiting! #golang 📝 The Tao of Go: 🔗

Managing tool dependencies in #golang is finally a joy! 🎉 Go 1.24 introduces tool directive for go.mod, making it seamless to track and install tools. We’ve come a long way, and I love these small but impactful improvements to the tooling. Great write-up: 🔗

Instrument all the things, in every way—leave no process unobserved!

At @datadoghq.com we are always hiring. We are looking for a new fellow to work on our agent and OpenTelemetry! Ping me if you want to know more. careers.datadoghq.com/detail/65977...

Roc is re-writing from #rustlang to #ziglang gist.github.com/rtfeldman/77...

Just wrapped up #FOSDEM—always a pleasure! If you’re into open-source, this is the conference you can’t miss. Loved catching up with friends and seeing all the amazing projects people are working on. Until next time!

Yet another talk about #eBPF and @opentelemetry.io auto-instrumentation on #FOSDEM by @fstab.bsky.social and Rafael Roquetto It’s crazy to everyone heading to this direction these days!

Great talk on cost of @opentelemetry.io auto-instrumentation at #FOSDEM

🚀🚀 @prometheus.io v3 by @bboreham.bsky.social and Jan Fajerski

Starting the day two of #FOSDEM. I will spend the whole day on #observability and #monitoring devroom. Surprised?! 🤪

Nobody leaves #eBPF room at #FOSDEM so nobody gets in 🥲 Early bird catches the worm.

Let’s start! #Go devroom at #FOSDEM

It’s #FOSDEM o’clock!

Yandex released a new eBPF profiler. If you're into profiling, I highly recommend reading their announcement post. It covers a lot of background knowledge, and also introduces some cool new ideas such as capturing micro coredumps when a process gets killed! medium.com/yandex/yande...

I'll be at #FOSDEM this weekend! 🎉 If you’re attending and want to chat about open-source, observability, or just geek out, I’d love to meet. Let me know! 🚀 fosdem.bsky.social

People keep sharing their magical success stories with Cursor. Meanwhile, mine just spits out pure bullshit (pardon my French). I’m not even doing anything niche—fed it step-by-step clear instructions with examples. Is my Cursor defective, or am I just cursed?

We are starting a new initiative to bring compile-time instrumentation to #OpenTelemetry Go! 🎉 This will enable lightweight, high-performance telemetry without manual instrumentation. 🚀 A promising initiative shaping the future of observability in #golang. https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2025/go-co…

#Golang 1.24 is packed with upgrades: generic type aliases, weak pointers, faster Swiss table maps, and enhanced cleanup functions. Dive into what’s new:

A great mentor or manager can make all the difference when joining a new organization. They’re the bridge between you and the culture, turning what could feel like survival mode into thriving mode—regardless of the size of the group or organization.

‘Tech is a meritocracy’—a claim I’ve heard at every place I’ve worked, and every time, it aged very poorly. This page perfectly dissects the myth and bias behind it.

Kindness and empathy in engineering lead to better teams, better code, and better lives. This article perfectly captures how the most influential people I’ve worked with operate. A must-read:

Two weeks into the new role, and the road ahead is starting to take shape (I think): compile-time and runtime instrumentation challenges, #Go internals, #eBPF, and plenty of learning. Intimidating but exciting!

Today's OTel Night is kicked off by @felixge.de and @kakkoyun.me with OpenTelemetry Profiles!

I have to admit that the "1000 talks" for #FOSDEM is such a clean number that it feels made up, but it's actually a precise count as of today. We'll have a few more scheduled by the time FOSDEM starts as we're still juggling some things into place.

I got OpenTelemetry to work. But why was it so complicated? Discussion

One year without Olive. She wasn’t just my dog; she was family. If you’ve ever loved and lost a pet, you know the hole they leave behind. Hug your furry ones a little tighter today.

Thrilled to share that I’ve joined @datadoghq.com as a Staff Software Engineer on the Language Platform team for @golang.org 🐹 I’m excited to continue my journey in observability and performance engineering, focusing on building tools that make developers’ lives easier.
