I'm excited to share that Brev.io has raised a $3.3M pre-seed round, led by @ResoluteVC to build the AI-native layer between business goals and work. Most AI today is doing execution work in a vacuum. Without your goals, metrics, and live progress in the context window, you get motion without alignment -- it's the missing link in a lot of AI deployments right now. As AI drives down the cost of execution, the bottleneck shifts to strategy, coordination, and alignment. That’s the gap we’re building Brev to close. $100 in free credits: get.brev.io/free-100 Learn more: get.brev.io/ai-goals We're hiring: get.brev.io/Join-Brev

AI is granting us superpowers, but it's boxing us out of the creative work that many of us find the most personally fulfilling. I wrote about it here: foggyfuture.substack.com/p/the-giddy-no…

@eshamanideep impressively general 😅

Introducing Giga's browser agent. Giga can now log in and completes tasks end-to-end, just like your human agents. It used to take months to get support APIs deployed for AI agents in the enterprise. Now these integrations can be built instantly.

📣Announcing our Series A📣 @momentohq levels up to a real-time Data Platform with Topics GA! @ksshams and I are grateful to see our efforts recognized by our customers and our investors. This is only the beginning, we are ecstatic about the future! gomomento.com/blog/momento-s…

We had a chat with @el_bhs, co-founder of @opentelemetry, about leading the industry to a brighter future with open source. Prior to OTel, observability required custom agents. OTel is leading the way toward a common instrumentation standard.

We raised $20M to build the future of data streaming infrastructure! Thanks to our partners at Amplify and Greylock for believing in us. Read more about our plans in our latest blog post! warpstream.com/blog/the-origi…

We are hiring for ML roles at Continua (@ContinuaAI)! Join our small AI startup and help bring our vision of personal agents to the world. continua.ai/careers Work with our small team (continua.ai/team) and have an outsized level of impact and autonomy. 🧵1/2

I really enjoyed this conversation with @dymxzvf the other day... we covered a lot of ground, including the early days of observability for distributed systems at Google, the best levers for AI in observability, the elephants in the room for TCO+ROI, etc. Worth a listen!

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 Excited to kick off our official speaker announcements for #SLOconf with this talk by @adrianamvillela and @Ana_M_Medina of @LightstepHQ 🙌 What learnings should you leverage from the incidents you’ve been through? 🤔 Register sloconf.com

This has come a long way in a short time -- very slick!🤯

@caseyrosenthal (But big -1 to ChatGPT for missing the incredibly inappropriate time+place to quote MLK...)

@caseyrosenthal So, you're joking. But I copy-pasted the actual announcement into ChatGPT, asked it to critique, and even an LLM has enough empathy to see that this is going to land like a ton of bricks:

PagerDuty is the first major company to publish a layoff announcement written by ChatGPT.

ChatGPT smalltalk still has a ways to go

@AntoineGrondin @LightstepHQ 100%! Lightstep's own @tedsuo did a nice talk about similar topics at Kubecon 2018, in fact: youtube.com/watch?v=NU-fTr…

@LightstepHQ traces should become more readable and readily usable in dev envs and local envs, same as logs are.

New video! What about #observability for OSS? How should you use @opentelemetry to instrument a shared library? Plus some best design practices for writing stable software and backwards compatibility. Agree? Disagree? Let me know what you think. :) youtu.be/EAoKqdxHEjA

@austinlparker @jordanjhamel @opentelemetry Instant classic

Parental leave has afforded me time to rummage through pre-Covid conference swag bags. Tracing actually is fun! @opentelemetry

I'm a big fan of the people and the overall approach at @momentohq -- moving more heavy-duty infra problems into specialized, fit-for-purpose solutions that improve performance, reduce risk, *and* reduce cost. (Congrats, @dymxzvf and @ksshams!)
