Remembering my friend Bernard (Kofi) Otu this weekend. He suffered a stroke on Valentine’s weekend 2021 and has remained unresponsive in hospital since. I wouldn’t even be where I am in my career without him. I will be forever grateful for his friendship and mentorship. Miss you, friend.

My latest blog is up, on how I monitor my #homelab with #opentelemetry - in preparation for the #otel-end-user-sig OTel in practice session tomorrow morning: www.joshuamlee.com/otel-clickho...

I've gotten lazy (or more productive?) and started using voice dictation on my phone to send texts. It's funny to see how Siri (mis)interprets some of the words I say in my Canadian English accent. EH! 🤣🇨🇦

When we see the occasional glimpses of women-dominated leadership in industries like tech, and we get dudes complaining of a lack of gender diversity, let me remind everyone that women have had to put up with male-dominated bullshit for CENTURIES, so please fuck all the way off.

I’m traught, welmed, and feeling the aster.

On a crowded subway and I spot an empty seat. The person standing in front of the seat gives me the stink eye as I’m trying to get seated. What gives?

That cat’s out of the bag! Hot off the press from OTel Unplugged: @reesesbytes.bsky.social and I will be the new #OpenTelemetry Community Managers, joined by @juliafmorgado.bsky.social as Associate Community Manager. 🎉🎉 Thanks @marylia.dev for capturing the moment of the announcement!!

If you've ever been confused about @opentelemetry.io OpAMP, then look no further. I spent a week asking questions, experimenting, and reading up on OpAMP to bring you the OpAMP overview that you needed but didn't have...until today! adri-v.medium.com/opentelemetr...

Nothing puts the fear of god in me more than the sight of a little kid coughing in my direction without covering their mouth. Gross.

Today was talk day at @ndcconferences.com London for @aakansha.bsky.social and me, as we delivered our first talk together. We dug into #OpenTelemetry OpAMP, unraveling its mysteries. Thanks to those who came out to see us speak. 💜💜 Bye bye, London! See you in March for #SREDayLondon2026!!

Great first day at @ndcconferences.com London! Looking forward to giving my talk about @opentelemetry.io OpAMP on Tuesday with @aakansha.bsky.social!

Bucket list item achieved! What a blast it was to interview @scott.hanselman.com on @geekingout_pod.bsky.social. I'm an ad-hoc podcaster & the only prepared questions I have are my icebreaker questions. I loved how each question took us on different side quests 🎧: buff.ly/4UmedW5 📺: buff.ly/cKedLw1

Psssst...Early Bird Tickets are now on sale for KCD Toronto! Tell your friends! Early Bird pricing ends March 1st, so get 'em while you can! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ community.cncf.io/events/detai...

Hello from London! Excited to be here for @ndcconferences.com London to speak with @aakansha.bsky.social about #OpenTelemetry OpAMP! If you’ve ever wondered what OpAMP is all about and have been confused by the docs and examples out there, this talk is for YOU! ndclondon.com/agenda/opent...

Geeking out on #StarTrek with @scott.hanselman.com? Yes, that totally happened.

I think I made MSCopilot mad at me when I accused it of lying. Skynet is coming for me in my sleep.

I finally understand OTel OpAMP, and I can safely say that it’s 1000x less confusing than OpAmp that’s taught in electrical engineering classes. I never understood that shit.

Took my kid to the pediatrician and I swear her doctor's ADHD is as bad as mine. The number of side quests the doctor went on during the consult was wildly hilarious.

I promised myself that I would drink my tea before it got cold. The tea got cold. Damn you, ADHD!!

I was just editing the episode of @geekingoutpod.bsky.social that I recorded with @scott.hanselman.com and got to the part where we talk about old programming languages. Anyone on here remember Gorillas and/or Nibbles on QBasic? Tell me you’re old without telling me you’re old… 🙃🙃

Sometimes I feel like a fake techie. I don't like D&D or strategy games of any sort, videogames (except Wii games), I don't have a fancy office setup, have never built my own machine, and I don't code in my spare time. 🤷‍♀️

Guess I gave a lot of talks in 2025! Huge shoutout to all the conference organizers who thought I had something interesting to say, and of course, to all the folks who came out to see me speak! 💜

Proud mama moment to co-host the @geekingoutpod.bsky.social 2026 opener with my kiddo, Hannah. Also, THANK YOU to my awesome panelists @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social, @withenoughcoffee.com, @techtalkingmom.bsky.social, and @didiviking.bsky.social. You are all SO INSPIRING!! 💜 📺: shorturl.at/HZ1UN

I think my brain is allergic to marketing blog posts.

So excited for this live stream with @adrianamvillela.bsky.social and @geekingoutpod.bsky.social

I declare that instead of using the term “DevOps Engineers”, we should switch to “CI/CD Engineers” instead. Feels like it captures the job better.

Millennial/Gen Z #bouldering folks: what’s the deal with wearing socks with climbing shoes? I get it for rentals, but I find that you lose out on good footwork with socks.

Hear ye, hear ye! CFPs are open for KCD Toronto! It’s the FIRST EVER KCD in Canada, and we’re looking for local and international speakers to talk all things cloud native. CFP is open until February 16th. Conference take place on May 13th. TELL YOUR FRIENDS!! sessionize.com/kcd-toronto-...

I did a LOT of travel in 2025, and when you do a lot of travel, you develop a packing system and a go-to list of items that are must-haves in your luggage. What are mine? Read on to find out!

As a dev, looking up how to do things that I don't do often is a PAIN (hello, regex). Wouldn't it be nice if I could just say, "Do the thing" to my AI assistant , and it would do it? But also, I wanted an excuse to mess around with Codename Goose. How did it go? Read the post! buff.ly/ZXzRccI
