If you ever need to figure out what's going on in your system, check the /proc folder.

Aivars Kalvāns walked us through the proc filesystem and showed us where to find everything from the arguments a process was started with to its open network connections.

Finally a solution to the 💩 in 💩out issue all observability tools face.

@dominik.suess.wtf showed us how OTel Weaver can ensure different teams use the same names and data types for the same kind of data.
It uses metric defintions to generate code / docs / dashboards

Another tool I need to check out: Sigstore - the Let's encrypt of supply chain security - as Stephan Kraft put it.

How do you find issues that involve your service mesh's side car proxies?

You need to make them less transparent and include them in your traces.

Konrad Renner showed us how it's done at #CloudNativeDaysAustria

You might not need to build your own controller for custom resources.
Instead you could use KRO and its resource graph definition as @yveshwang.bsky.social showed us.

Day 2 of #CloudNativeDaysAustria was kicked off by @lauratacho.com

She explained why DX still matters and how to communicate this to your management.

Pro tip: use the venn diagram from her presentation 😉

Today @t-sc.eu shared his learnings from karriere.at about how platform engineers can actually improve the experience for developers (especially of microservices) instead of just forcing them to learn yet another tool.

@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.

Sarah Christoff gave us a nice refresher about solving deadlocks.

I wouldn't have considered the resources themselves to be part of a possible solution (by requiring certain procedures to update their state)

It is eco friendly and able to avoid obstacles on its own.
The only downside is that you need to bring your own saddle. 🏇

I want more websites to have little whimsical touches, like @vitest.dev's feature overview.

vitest.dev/guide/featur...
Aligned with the vibe of the product, making the important things stand out without being distracting.
👏👏👏

Enjoy the adventure! Hope all your connections work out as planned 🤞

I won 2nd place but all I got was new knowledge.
Thanks to @lirantal.com for packing the dry topic of security into a fun quiz. #WeAreDevelopers

Same for me, but on the command line it can be fitting:
rm -fr

Requiring a comment next to the suppression forces you to do a double take.

Related:
For typescript errors we only allow expecting instead of suppressing them.

//ts-expect-error

So if your change causes an expected error to not appear anymore. You should take a close look again.

Next edit prediction can be soo nice.
Sadly this was not integrated in the Intellij Version yet.

Your build pipeline would validate if you forgot to add some important files, which I probably would on a daily basis.

Another interesting talk from todays #codecrafts vienna conference.

Bjorna Kalaja raised awareness for Green Software Principles and ran through different kinds of common refactorings.

E.g.: It pays of to simplify your data models to save energy.
Splitting your monolith has the oppsite effect.

Your team structure, software architecture, and business requriements are connected and need to evolve together to reach your target system structure.
