Is profiling the fourth pillar of observability?? SIGH. charity.wtf/2025/10/30/t...

Talk to me if you have an interesting profiling use case. I'm doing some explorations :)

Code-level Telemetry Instrumentation: from "Oh Hell No" to "Worth It": https://whitneylee.com/2025/10/30/codelevel-telemetry-instrumentation-from-oh.html

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more: adventofcode.com/2025/about#f... adventofcode.com/2025/about#f...

Some love from my wife for #AdventOfCode and @was.tl (cc @aneurysm9.com): elly.town/d/blog/2025-...

Reminder: code review is not "to catch mistakes", it is a tool for understanding to limit bus/lottery factor first and foremost. When code is written (if you're lucky) by one human, having the second human abdicate their judgment to the machine is actively harmful to your team's code understanding.

Day 25 Merry Christmas! #AdventofCode

If you don't want the #AdventOfCode 2024 calendar spoiled you might want to stay away from the shop; there may or may not be bonus merch cottonbureau.com/people/adven...

#AdventOfCode 2024 is almost done! But don't worry - the puzzles aren't going anywhere. In fact, there are hundreds of puzzles from past AoC events that are still available! adventofcode.com/events

Earlier this week @hazelweakly.me wrote about what she calls "observability 3.0". I argue our core challenge is not surfacing insights to eng-adjacent teams, but the reverse -- helping engineering teams understand and explain their work in the language of the business. charity.wtf/2024/12/20/o...

If your experience with OpenTelemetry looks like a more complicated, worse version of adding an APM vendor I don’t fault you for being skeptical about the project Let me make the case why that will improve and take us far beyond what vendors could ever offer jeremymorrell.dev/blog/opentel...

Y'all there are D&D stamps! Someone at USPS rolled a critical hit.

Day 12 Operation De-Fence #AdventofCode

oh man the character.ai lawsuit is SO much worse than the headlines made it out to be:

We're seven days into #AdventOfCode 2024! Have you learned anything new about your programming language / tool / editor of choice?

True story.

Two exciting announcements from #AWS #EKS team! - EKS Auto Mode ( ++Karpenter++ ) - EKS Hybrid Nodes ( connect on-prem/edge ) Give it a shot!

This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free! Most people write code to solve them, but you can solve them however you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟 The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com

If you want to get into the Christmas^W puzzle-ing spirit, Veloxx is back to DJ our #AdventOfCode unlock party - starting 1.5 hours before the first puzzle unlocks! www.twitch.tv/veloxxmusic

hello #AdventOfCode friends ❤️

I’m also excited about the introduction of Native Histograms! It seems you still need to explicitly enable them, but the idea of not having to choose and constantly update bucket boundaries is worth the extra effort! 🎉

Another classic

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Pour one out for @krisnova.net who isn't alive to witness this moment of everyone from tech twitter finally being set free from the social gravity hellhole of Xitter.

[trying to find parking for the eight year old's violin lesson] ME: standby to hot deploy! EIGHT YEAR OLD: what? what's hot deploy? ME: it means that you jump out in front and run in while i go look for parking. 8YO: YESSSSS ME: never mind, there's a space 8YO: NO DADDY I WANT TO HOT DEPLOY

Killing prisoners should not be a legitimate power of government

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day. On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

In a recent article of mine about a better web, I wrote: “We often forget: that world is still out there.” Here’s a great example: eieio.games/essays/the-s...

"average spider eats 3 people a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average spider eats 0 people per year. Georg Spiders, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 peopl each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

it is unspeakably funny that the billionare death yacht was named 'bayesian'

why let this fuckin guy off the hook with “i ain’t touching this one”? his party leader made fuckin misogynistic racist comments he should be forced to defend them

I did not know how badly I just needed a campaign that was " look at these fuckin freaks". Not as political strategy, just for me. Because just look at those fuckin freaks

what he's really saying...
