Collaborating with @adrianamvillela.bsky.social has been just the best. And our talk is pretty good too, if I do say so myself. We’re about to uncover the truth of vendor-neutrality in #OpenTelemtry at #kcdwarsaw

@adrianamvillela.bsky.social and @joshleecreates.bsky.social showed us why OTEL didn't follow the pattern of xkcd.com/927/

Great talk! It always helps to understand where the purpose of one tool ends and others need to take over.

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich."

A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

@hazelweakly.me Ok, I give in. I'm adopting "Lakehouse" terminology and have added it to my personal spell-check dictionaries. One day I will represent a technology that is already in spell-check... one day.

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

SO sorry about the treatment your specialists and engineers received at the hands of our secret police goon squad. That's normally something we reserve for a different race of people who we like even less, hope you understand. Please come back
