Is OTEL on the frontend in as bad a state as the documentation makes it sound? It's basically like: "you're taking your life in your own hands"

@mipsytipsy This! And also, what I might think is the "right" amount of process (yes, I err toward less is more) may not serve the needs of our teams. 🥰

In the same way that everybody tests in prod, whether they admit it or not, everybody is following a process, all the time. It may be conscious or subconscious, chaotic or standardized. The right question isn't "should we have a process", it's "does our process still serve us?"

Honeycomb is going through one of those phases, as startups do, where people argue passionately about process, and how much process is too much process. Startups tend to attract people who like to fly fast and loose and ad hoc, and I am no different.

@zeeg I will spend the rest of my life fighting this wherever I go as an IC, and migrating too and from management roles “as needed”. There is certainly some amount of necessity in the way “BigCo” operates, and it certainly has its place. @mipsytipsy talks about this sometimes!

Suppose I say summer,
write the word “hummingbird,”
put it in an envelope,
take it down the hill
to the box. When you open
my letter you will recall
those days and how much,
just how much, I love you.

This is so good! Emily’s story is a wonderful reminder there is no one, clear path to the exec table. It’s such a privilege to work with her, and I’m grateful for what she brings to our leadership team — and how she helps lift others up along the way.

If your professional brand does not include cat GIFs are you even product leadering?

I've been very busy. Things start to pile up, and you start to focus more on what you aren't doing well rather than what you are. That little specter of depression starts to sneak in. Today's medicine is: ran 5k, taking to my friends. Use your people. Happens to all of us.

@fishmegs You are many things, but I would never call you joyless. not easily impressed, perhaps. Maybe that’s less pithy though? :)
