 ** Microsoft GitHub and Open Source

 I, like many others, were lured into (non-MS) GitHub years ago.
 It was nicer than the entire competition - it worked better, it looked better, it was where *all* the Open Source lived.
 Well, not all.

 Microsoft GitHub is still not near the biggest sin an Open Source can commit when it comes to cooperation (that crown still goes to using Discord), but it's far from being "Open".

+I spend the last few days at $DAYJOB trying to create metrics monitor.
+A Sidekiq services may (or may not) have emitted some stats which may (or may not) have been received by DataDog agent which may (or may not) have been received by data dog which may (or may not have) processed it and they may (or may not) be queried.
+Turns out, that on step 831 of this pipeline *my* logs were rejected to save costs.
+I cursed more than I will ever admit and I named everyone in proximity of this hellscape while cursing.
+Screw you, Mr. Observability!
+
+Now, analyzing logs and metrics is kinda in the epicenter of of being a software engineer.
+They may say it's building software, but sometimes we build software just to maintain it.
+It's not a new concept.
+Ever since we became able to curve numbers on rock plates, someone had to analyze it.
+
+Remember grep?
+Tail?
+Cat?
+Our good old pals?
+They served us pretty well over the years, didn't they?
+And then we took them the the shed, shot them, and decorated our editors with their carcasses.
+They are not adequate for /cloud scale/.
+
+Well, we at $DAYJOB produce close to 20Tb of logs a day.
+Is this a lot?
+Certainly not enough to make Alhtole salivate, but much too much for a laptop to /grep/ over.
+
+We, as an industry, did what we always do: reinvent it.
+Somehow the "disruption" idea is so etched into our very selves, that we do it to ourselves.
+When we had a small problem of performance, we solved it by covering in layers upon layers of complexity.

+But sucking is at the core of DataDog.
+It's contrary to their best interest to reuse skills we already had.
+Grep?
+Forget it!
+It's colorful blobs of structured data.
+You just click on things which allow you to click on other things.
+No need to worry your pretty little head with it.
+If they build it, we will come.
+And then we will not know anything else.
+
+They could have /built/ upon what was there, but this would not put them on a VC happy path.
+They could have created a simple system, but instead a company needs to have people fluent in DataDog to operate DataDog.
+
+And even with that, it's not /good/ and certainly not great.
+It's slow, clunky, takes horrendous amount of horse power to use their web interface.
+The data is significantly delayed, and you need to sample it, as you can not afford not to.
+But don't worry, if your have a blind spot as a result, you will never find the charts ever again!
+Problem solved!
+It's one in one of your 77622145201 dashboards.
+
+I'm currently angry at Data Dog, but it's not only them.
+Our entire industry hates improving.
+It's not enough to fix a problem, you should aim at changing the paradigm (and I have no idea what it even means!).
+A coworker once joked that Google created Kubernetes to ensure that spinning new product is complex enough, for them to never have a competition.
+
+This mindset results in us, not even being out of current tech bubble, looking for the next tech bubble.
