After working with ADONET for many years, I've really come to appreciate this code snippet. I think it demonstrates one of #fsharp's most intriguing qualities, it's expressiveness. There is so little code-noise that the true intent is demonstrably clear.

Here's what I have to say about this:

"Observability is about the unknown-unknowns. A system is observable when you can ask any arbitrary question about it and dive deep, explore, follow bread crumbs. O11y is about being able to trace the inner workings, just by observing the outside." Charity Majors #hnydevweek

Observability is like old time console.log with so much context and powerful tools so you can find very quickly what is happening system wide! #hnydevweek

Distributed tracing allows you to look at a complete unit of work. #hnydevweek

Why do we need #OpenTelemetry? Join our tech #Meetup to figure it out! Traditional logging is insufficient to understand complex systems and debug issues. Santiago Botero'll show how to debug almost anything thanks to #OpenTelemetry 📅 March 8th - 7 PM CET meetup.com/D-EDGE-tech/ev…

Next Tuesday I'll be talking about observability and how opentelemetry plays an important rôle. The examples are in #fsharp so you can come and learn how integrate OpenTelemetry in #fsharp

It's today #opentelemetry

The hill I will die on: technical debt is an engineering problem and is owned by engineering, not “product” and not your C-suite. By engineering I mean the engineering org and those at the higher echelons, not the junior-ish engineers who are the leaf nodes in the org chart.

Tiny utility functions: keep them local. DRY is for business logic, people jessitron.com/2022/12/19/imp…

If you believe you are following the Liskov Substitution Principle in a class hierarchy, but your naming conventions lead to classes named Abstract* or *Base, then you are not, in fact, following LSP. LSP described a subtyping relationship, which also applies to naming.

FSharp.SystemTextJson version 1.1 is released! blog.tarmil.fr/article/2023/1… #fsharp #dotnet

Preach. Or as @jamieedanielson said at kubecon, "if you can log, you can trace." And you should be.

Life goal: to have a current job interesting and meaningful enough that you want to optimize your technical choices for success in it, instead of its ability to carry you to the next one.

But more importantly: most of what burns people out is *not* working too many hours. It's things like, * seeing your hard work go unused * working on the wrong thing * long-running, simmering conflict * not being able to fix things that are making your job harder

Holy shit, this article is ☄️🔥 If you read one piece this week, make it this one! Ivan Burmistrov comes from Facebook, where he used Scuba, the progenitor to Honeycomb.io System Status Updates. He gives a whole 30 second tutorial in why wide events are everything to observability 2.0.

Not surprisingly, another great article from Mark Seemann Fundamentals blog.ploeh.dk/2024/05/20/fun…
