How's telemetry different than application or business data? Devs dropping 10MB+ fields in logs!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️Good luck loading that data in database or any analytics store ... forget about querying or displaying them as results

Just heard the saddest story of the #Crowdstrike debacle. Transplant surgeries not happening at a major hospital and a few organs, hearts, kidneys etc being thrown away .. people wait for years on the transplant list, only for some poorly tested upgrade to ruin their hopes 😞

A few years back, @a16z wrote a blog post about cloud workload repatriation. We're bringing back our software build/test pipelines and seeing massive performance gains (blog post coming soon). What workloads have you seen successfully move back?

Yesterday I got referred to as "the second most famous Albanian CTO in the Bay Area" Never thought the #OpenAI drama would hit this close, thanks @miramurati 😜

Here at Cribl, we believe interoperability is good for customers and OCSF advances that mission in a material way. We’re proud to be a part of this effort and ensure customers can focus on protecting their enterprise, as opposed to fighting with data.
When vendors cooperate together to serve customers, great things happen! We’re committed to the #OCSF format because it’s what’s best for customers. An open format ensures customers are able to focus on threat hunting and incident response! finance.yahoo.com/news/ocsf-…

Many know of RTFM. For any tech company UTFP is way more important: Use The Fucking Product

Today was my 5 year mark of embarking on the startup journey, starting with two of the best people I could hope to, @clintsharp and @DritanBitincka. When we started I was a parent of a 6mo old, here are my favorite 5 similarities of founder/parent experience
