#ClaudeCode : "Did telemetry win? Yes — unambiguously, and it's a little embarrassing for me.
The bug was invisible to code inspection and to my local forensics."
Want to develop faster with or without AI? Use OpenTelemetry. Avoid thrashing in the dark.
When I develop Dart servers, Flutter apps, web apps in Vue or React, nginx, Docker containers, anything - my try/catches create OpenTelemetry (OTel) spans. Logs are exported as OTel signals and OTel ties them together across the stack from mobile to server.
Since the OpenTelemetry standard is available everywhere (new to #Dart and #Flutter) it's easy to trace what happened from a user's tap, through layered services, into the database. AI eats it for breakfast especially because OTel defines Semantic Conventions. So it always knows to look for 'http.header" or "https://t.co/GlE0uzC60o". It doesn't have to grok what each service calls what.

#Dart #Flutter
Calling all #Flutter and #Dart developers!
A new Dart and Flutter Special Interest Group (SIG) for the OpenTelemetry standard is forming now.
We are looking for contributors to help shape:
- the standard observability APIs for Dart traces, metrics and logs. Seeded by https://t.co/5gbdl1vUmB, and
- the new Client OTel standards for front end observability across all UI platforms. Perhaps seeded by the fledgling https://t.co/XBnd0sEtgn
My favorite part: The OpenTelemetry standard includes defining Semantics (ex: https://t.co/GlE0uzC60o, not hostname). Join us and you can help decide how our industry talks about, measures, and views the apps we build.
A worldwide team is forming, even @kevmoo is helping out.

Bonus if you get this far:
https://t.co/tCmcn5daij is offering free private Pub to Flutter and Dart teams, along with native OpenTelemetry SDKs that can do what Dart can't.
What's OpenTelemetry?
OpenTelemetry is the open, vendor-neutral standard for observability - the way modern apps emit metrics, logs and distributed traces. It's a graduated CNCF (@CloudNativeFdn) project and the second most active after Kubernetes.
