I’m happy to share some of the projects my team at @datadoghq (the profiling team) has been working on over the past year. One of our main initiatives is to surface complex performance issues through effective visualization of profiling data.

The Chargers just became my favorite #NFL team.
A little late to the party, but I'm also gonna quote Taylor Swift and say "the smallest man who ever lived" is one who cannot stand a woman who outshines him.

Came back on Twitter temporarily after a long break to look at all the #harrisonbutker memes 😆
I can’t stand all the Taylor Swift hate and conservative bull💩 on Twitter. I’m moving to Threads. Bye.
One of my favorite psychological principles is the "Sunk Cost Effect." It likely explains why I just CANNOT quit Duolingo even though learning German is now becoming more of a pain than joy 🤣
I CANNOT GIVE UP MY 160+ days streak!
This site is such a GEM! Not only does it bring awareness to common psychological principles and human fallacies, it also teaches you how these principles are applied in UX design!

Resolution for 2024: prioritize the right things in life.

I did a thing! Here's the YouTube link to the talk I did at Open Source Summit last week.
It was both my first time in Japan and first time giving a talk at a conference!

I'm giving a talk on profiling tomorrow at the Open Source Summit in Tokyo! There's a link to the live stream in the event page.

Profiling is commonly associated with performance optimization, but its applications extend far beyond that. Increasingly, one of the things I’m starting to appreciate more about profiling is that it can help you understand how a language works.

I'm happy to formally introduce my publication "Performance engineering for the ordinary Barbie." You might have already seen a few blog posts in the past month published on there!
medium.com/performance-engin…
This publication is for anyone interested in delving into the field of performance optimization who are not already domain experts.
And please note: just because we are ordinary Barbies in the space of observability and performance, it does not mean we are ordinary people 😉
