you are not alone!
live coding on mine

iterated @recursecenter F2'19
i used to yell at pentavalent carbons & neurons

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

hey! I just wrote some code
and it's kinda shiny
oh here's my crystal
compile maybe?

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

I try to avoid EDT/EST, PDT/PST, etc because generally* those only refer to the time observed by most areas for ~1/2 the year

I like to just say "Eastern" or "Pacific"

(and I'd prefer it if you did too, unless you meant to specify the daylight savings status)

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

you know that phrase "if you look at it wrong"?

its true, I looked at an alert config wrong, and the *mere act of looking* crashed our es cluster

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

understanding complex systems is hard because sometimes you don't even know the terms to begin having a conversation

so today, I'm gonna finally write the TLDR that I wish were available I first started learning about #observability on https://t.co/NVC8nN6WgL @ 7pm ET

[Anthony Sottile @codewithanthony]

please don't teach people to run arbitrary code out of verified tweets

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@necrobuffalo can relate. this is me after scrolling Twitter for 3 mins

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

i don't love coding in the dark (@~@)
but i love coding in the ⋆ 。゜☁︎ 。⋆ dark 。゜☾゜。⋆

ps- hi, this is my first observability pun

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@sol__vin @postmodern_mod3 @alexanderadam__ @wyhaines @asterite @lbarasti take care of yourself, be well!

I'm positively certain your community/fans would love to catch you streaming again when you're ready, and not a moment sooner!

yanas life goals:
✅ be immortalized in open sauce✨

(😅now I really need to learn some parseltongue)

[Anthony Sottile @codewithanthony]

heh I got a @Where_Is_X stream-meme special "squacket" into pytest https://t.co/eurYhwclm7

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@kislayverma this is awesome! but everything is a balance, and I find that I lean into planning how different parts of the system would work instead of "just make it happen"

what's your advice for people who want to balance productivity at work with mindful coding?

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

in overwatch, https://t.co/9QiQwVOAXq has a voiceline: APM jom ollyo bolkka (APM좀 올려볼까!)

and now that I'm observabilitying, I can't help but think https://t.co/9QiQwVOAXq was actually increasing her APM for o11y

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@Jam_ONG "clinically proven" says the label

please link to your study and let me judge for myself what your n=1 means

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

TIL context propagation: how traces pass stuff to each other in the ether

(but not everyone speaks the same dialect so wam bam thank you opentelemetram)

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@alexanderadam__ today I am incredibly thankful to have escaped such an era

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@eXodiquas because code is just the medium. thoughts are the stuff of of code, and I think people who code generally like to express and explore their thoughts

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

not that timezones aren't already wats

[@[email protected] @MissAmyTobey]

being an SRE is just asking "is that localtime or UTC" over and over until you retire

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@Ecmoy @jkrippy so if I don't take your advice, then I can has more advice?

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@ZachSDaniel1 no, im a sudocow

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

I stream because my duckies entertain me with the some of the best wats I've ever seen

for example, did you know of a little command line utility called `yes` and all it does is print 'y' to the command lin?

:D

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

in honor of learning through building+breaking,

I'm gonna make a observability platform with @ryanprior

scoping this baby out live on https://t.co/NVC8nN6WgL ~6:30pm eastern! (in 20mins)

come be my rubber duckie

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

@geofurb same.

(I think people have very strict ideas of what makes a thing that thing. and Im coming in with questions like, but does a door have to have 4 corners? and does it have to have a lock? or have a knob at all? does it have to be opaque?)

[YANA @Where_Is_X]

a couple years ago I started coding for fun

in the past week, I started observability-ing, and it's even more fun

especially when I ask crazy questions like:
can a log be a span?
can I have monitoring be derived from spans/traces?
