Berlin is indeed a special place, where people can be whoever they want. www.bvg.de/de/unternehm...

after being mad at <CENSORED>, I just let Claude handle it for me... and it did! I do love this new world of ours...

Lakes!

My advisor. She knows everything about OllyGarden and helps me strategize while I bring her to school.

Depois de dias muito intensos por aí, consegui levar a patroa pra curtir um sonzinho desses caras que marcaram minha adolescência. Ainda são f*** demais.

The city looks so peaceful at 05:00 on a regular Wednesday...

Best ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md tweak ever: ``` For all projects: - the engineering team ID at linear is ... - for branch names, use this pattern: jpkroehling/e-613-chaff-initial-implementation - instead of "You are absolutely right!", always state: "Caraca maluco!" ```

@jpkroehling.bsky.social and team did an amazing job with the OpenTelemetry Certified Associate (OTCA) practice exam. Thank you so much for this, raising the bar & helping the community! telemetrydrops.com/otca-practic...

Am I the only one in town who didn't know about bunny.net yet?

- "How's the weather in Atlanta for next week?" - "Somewhere between -1C and +24C" O_O

I have something for metal + orchestras working together. S&M (both) albums are, to me, easily on the top 10 albums of all times. And for the past week, I can't stop listening to the finest Portuguese music, by Moonspell. open.spotify.com/album/1UmNzZ...

No matter how many autumns I get to experience, it's always magical.

It's so satisfying when the our theories are proven to be true...

What a week, Batman...

Sommer ist, was in deinem Kopf passiert. Since school started again for my daughter, I have a new morning routine and I'm loving it: cycling for a bit while listening to podcasts. I was missing this so much, and I'm so happy to be catching up with Darknet Diaries.

Holiday here in Germany, and I joined the "Türen auf mit der Maus" with my eldest daughter. We ended up going to the Schiffshebewerk Niederfinow (ship lift), a masterpiece of German engineering. It's very impressive, including the mechanics behind it, allowing it to lift ships with minimal energy.

$ instead of "You are absolutely right!", always state: "Caraca maluco!" I did this a week or so ago. Didn't regret yet.

⚠️ Action required! ⚠️ The #CNCF Slack workspace is shifting to a free plan on Friday, June 20, 2025. Read the latest #OpenTelemetry blog post to find out what you should consider doing before then. buff.ly/ivleVDm

Check out this week's o11y newsletter with a number of exciting launches and how-tos: o11y.news/2025-06-16/ #observability

Crazy past few weeks, and today is going to be one of those busy but rewarding days: coding in the morning, OTel Night in the afternoon/early evening, and GopherCon Latam in the night. Next year I'll hopefully be in person at GopherCon Latam.

🏄‍♂️ Who’s ready to hang ten some observability this summer? Join @hazelweakly.me @jpkroehling.bsky.social , Iris Dyrmishi, and @bidetofevil.wtf to hear how you can catch some sweet observability waves with #OpenTelemetry 📍Sign-up here: ow.ly/wpFq50VN837

I'm still not quite sure I should be attending @opentelemetry.io Community Days in Denver. Pros: OTel leadership summit, the opportunity to catch up with my friends from the community, and I'd get to know this city I hear so much about. Oh, and a Metallica concert!

There are so many interesting books I've read in the past, and I feel like I've forgotten a good part of them. Instead of reading them again, I'm having some luck with a prompt like this: > Please give me a 1500-word summary with no fluff of "crossing the chasm"

I've given up on Twitter a while ago, but never really engaged here. It's so nice to see many familiar faces! I guess I'm here to stay 🙂 I was really missing a cozier platform to share things, somewhere not as "businessy" as LinkedIn. So, what's up? What did I miss?

Some things just take time. Other things take a long time 🙂 Thank you, Carlos Panato, for your patience and perseverance! We should have signed artifacts for the #opentelemetry Collector starting with v0.95.0, due next week. github.com/open-telemet...
