We believe #OTel will play a key role in the future of observability. During our Tech Talks kickoff, we discussed our contributions to a project that enables our customers to leverage its benefits. Thanks to everyone who attended. More Tech Talks events to follow! #DatadogLife

Why aren't people talking more about just how bad Slack's mobile app is at syncing data in a timely fashion? I often restart the app just to make sure I have all the context before responding to something on my phone.

What's the Twitter equivalent of the Peter Principle where people keep expanding the scope of their thought leadership until it becomes clear they have no idea what they're talking about? Seeing it a lot lately.

Every year, programming simple things is becoming more complicated due to the complexity of tooling. The industry scales it up by putting more people on the job instead of addressing the complexity. The result is every programming job needs heavy communications.
