Congrats to @andykellr and everyone at @observIQ on today's beta launch of the first open source observability pipeline built for @opentelemetry

If you've been wondering what I've been working on, it's now available in beta! I'm really proud of our team at observIQ for all of their hard work.

A product I've been working on is on @ProductHunt today. Have a look and let me know what you think. I'll be in the comments answering questions.

In an interview this week I was asked if I ever get imposter syndrome. Um hell no. There are men out there trying to build a company with 10x the funding I have and 1/10 the ability. I’m not the imposter.

What’s the opposite of imposter syndrome? I have that.

This is the language used by Nazis against Jews ("vermin"), Hutus against Tutsis ("cockroaches") and American slaveowners against slaves ("animals"). Once you've labeled people as animals, violence, murder and genocide will follow. Every person, every migrant, is a child of God.

So @lyft is paying $8m/mo to @AWS -- almost $100m/yr! Each ride costs $.14 in AWS rent. I keep hearing they could build their own DC & save. My early days at @Google cloud, heard the same from customers: "at scale, owning is cheaper". It wasn't - they all came around. Here's why:

So many things are being marketed to me as "tactical". It's starting to feel like "tactical" means "artisanal" but for men. Both make me less likely to buy.

Netflix auto-playing previews for every single show is one of the most pronounced user-hating experiences online in a while. I get that it helps juice the audience count, but it turns browsing into a game of hot potato.

why doesn’t Howard Schultz just try to go to space like a regular billionaire

@jdriscoll @Shipt It would surprise me if they couldn't find standing to sue. The rules for legally treating someone as a "contractor" are pretty strict.

I celebrated the #PolarVortex by watching Freaky Friday on VHS with my mom and daughters AMA

@dhh According to USDOL, this is illegal.

@Shipt @jdriscoll According to USDOL, it would be illegal for you to reduce the employees pay below $2.13 per hour regardless of the size of the tip.
