Pi is one of the ways out of this problem (OpenCode another) so I took it as an intentional reference as it is highly relevant. I also use Pi as my daily driver and I think it's a …

> Also, thoughts on Vector vs otel agent? IMO, with the current tech, it entirely depends on what data you're talking about. For metrics and traces, I would use the OTel collector …

This is very true! In practice I have seen that it is exceedingly difficult to write the GraphQL "sinks" (I don't recall the exact term) that can intelligently handle things like b…

The article imo misuses the term BFF a bit, but perhaps its meaning has evolved over time. I was at SoundCloud when BFF was being introduced as an important piece of the microservi…

just want to say, this is the most comprehensive, eloquent, and succinct description of the Staff role I have seen put to page.

I don't believe this is a solved problem, and it's been around since OpenTracing days[0]. I do not think that the Span links, as they are currently defined, would be the best place…

Thank you for sharing this! I've been intrigued by the idea of property tests for a while but in my mind it's relegated to the "mad science" corner of tools I would use, partly bec…

I was excited to take the leap and try the FP2, and ended up really disappointed by it. The quality of both hardware and software was just pretty bad. The casing would warp and pop…

Looks interesting, I like that it's packaged as a single binary so it's easier to install. The idea to have default behaviors for different extension types is also cool. I've used …

Hi HN, At $JOB I recently implemented a weekly email report that contained high-level business and operations metrics. Though a lot of us use live metric dashboards, there is still…
