I was brought to tears while walking to work this morning.
I decided to write about it, and what came out was a love letter to myself, to computers, to The Soul of a New Machine, to @bcantrill and @ahl's Oxide and Friends, and to love itself.

I missed RustConf! How did this happen? (hint: busy with launching product)
Relive the magic of #rustconf through pictures! Thanks again to all the Rustaceans who attended #rustconf24 in Montreal and online this past month. We can't wait to do it all again next year 🧡

So far, this is *always* worth the effort. The "story" of a request or activity gets all colored in
At @thesysteminit, we've been fine tuning the observability story for our distributed system to allow us to understand what is happening internally - we finally hit that key point yesterday of being able to trace across the service boundaries and across systems interacting with NATS. At any point, we can turn the tracing level up and get details data that look like this. This level of understanding is so key to being able to tune the system!

Distributed tracing can be *so* hard to get wired & then tuned to appropriate levels. But once everything's connected...it's an unbeatable advantage

It’s so great to see what @adamhjk of Chef fame and his amazing team (which includes @nickstinemates @stack72) have created at System Initiative!
What struck me: we all know how difficult it is to do things when cloud feedback cycles are 5-20 minutes.
They create an IDE-like environment where you can get fast feedback for changes, modeled on the infrastructure you have. You can quickly visualize and make the changes you want.
This is the way.
Kudos!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Congrats my friend, @portertech !!
Of course we’re also incorporating our #AI/#ML approach to traces.
To accelerate the development of Adaptive Traces, we’ve acquired TailCtrl, founded by @portertech!

This blog from @thesysteminit is best-in-class writing for developer tools. It: 1) names the pain point, 2) discusses previous attempts to solve the problem, 3) explains why their solution is novel, & 4) the voice is authentic - they built for themselves. systeminit.com/blog-system-i…
Ok, I've spent over 15 minutes scrolling and playing. This is like background sound ASMR or somthing
The BBC sound effects library is now completely free to access.
This is news.

Today is one of those to savour. A big day for our company and team, a thoroughly satisfying launch execution, good health, supportive family, heck—the best autumn weather! Could also be the strong dose of endorphins mid-ride…

Congrats @adamhjk and team! 5 years is a huge development cycle for a new product. Much respect for getting it out into the world and as open source! This kind of thing takes so much perseverance, stamina, and faith. I'm rooting for you 😀

There is a lot of "silent" (compared to the noise generated by gen AI) innovation happening in the infrastructure, network and devops space. Companies like @thesysteminit , @Tailscale and @oxidecomputer are definitely worth keeping an eye on.
