It's interesting (and mildly embarrassing) how much I used to think this too. Holy fuckola, how wrong I was.

 Don't get me wrong, our storage engine is the rock upon which everything rests.

As the market matures over the next few years, our strategy and differentiation will shift away from "only we deliver o11y" to exploiting all the unusual capabilities of our storage tier. 😈🐝
Subsecond ad hoc querying over weeks of webscale traffic.. unsampled? ✅

Drill down from high level SLOs to see all of the dimensions, diffed in order of their degree of outlieriness vs the baseline? ✅

The raw speed and flexibility unlocks soooooo many product daydreams.
But that's just good engineering. How to build a product that helps our customers achieve meaningful observability...that is a design problem.

Teaching people to lean into their curiosity and follow the signal? Design (and product) problem.
This time last year, we were hiring our first product leader, our very first design leader. We had ~9 people writing code.

We've been busy 🙃 we now have four in product, seven in design, and just doubled our engineering firepower. Every single one of them is ✨😍amazing 🔥🤩🐝
What I'm saying is, I'm not just yapping; we really are putting our chips down big on design this year.

We will succeed largely to the extent that our design, product and engineering teams are equal players of equal caliber who love the shit out of each other.
Speaking from within my own little domain of R&D, that is. 🙃 and as a product-led company, getting this right is huge. But not everything.

In some ways, for a company like us, getting the product right is the easy (😩!) part. When you're creating a category, GTM is FUCKING HARD
Our customer success team is going to bear the brunt of helping users navigate their observability journey while helping our product folks make it better, faster, easier.

Our sales team is the only one I know of in software that is 0% threatened by our generous free tier 🙃🌷
Our marketing team (and mighty devrel) have to span worlds effortlessly and invisibly; building the demand gen engine, building enduring partnerships, pushing the industry forward with OTel, educating and explaining. Oh, and positioning can be one of the hardest parts of product.
Did I mention how small but mighty our sales team is? It is hard to build a high performing sales org, but it's harder when so many of your prospects show up already acting like they hate you.

"Your sales folks are the only ones I'm ever genuinely happy to hear from" - a user 🌷
Fact: it is easier to hire world class biz folks when you don't casually demean them or their work.

If an engineering candidate exoticizes or dismisses sales or marketing, they get an auto thumbs down from me.
One of the (many) things I love about @lizthegrey is how easily she agreed to put devrel with product marketing. (This also put her multiple hops away from the C*O, a devastating blow at a hierarchical org).

I can say this shit all day, it's actions like these that make it real.
Each of these functions has to be individually stellar at executing and course-correcting, respect each other and resolve conflict productively, and they need a strategy that is mostly correct and under continuous alignment...

It's basically impossible. We're probably doomed. ☺️

Ive taken part in uncovering evidence of p3d0’s to reveal to LEO.

I have seen some *dark* sh*t in my day.

We’ve spent the last ten months building #CitizenBrowser, a project that aims to peek inside the Black Box of social media algorithms, by building a nationwide panel to share data with us. Today, we are publishing our first story from the project. /1

.@corintxt crunched the numbers and found that after Facebook flipped the switch for political ads, partisan content elbowed out reputable news outlets in our panelists’ news feeds. https://t.co/Z0kibSBeQZ /2

You can learn more in our methodology, where we describe how we did this and what steps we took to ensure that we preserved the panelists' privacy. https://t.co/UYbTXAjy5i /3

Personally, this project is the culmination of years of experiments trying to figure out how to collect data from social media platforms in a way that can lead to meaningful reporting. I’ve described a couple of highlights below 👇 /4

My first attempt was in 2016 at Propublica, when I was working with @JuliaAngwin . We were interested in seeing if there was a difference in the Ad interests FB disclosed to users in their settings and the interests they showed to marketers. /5

Hello, writers! How about a thread on LITERARY AGENTS? How to get one, how to talk to one, how to keep one happy. Spoiler alert: I am 100% pro agent and can't imagine not having one on my side. 1/

Why would you want a literary agent?
* you want to be traditionally published
* you want someone experienced to help guide your career
* you want to learn how to edit like a pro
* you want to sell foreign and movie rights
* you want answers to your newbie questions 2/

Why you might *NOT* want a literary agent:
* you want to self publish
* you're not willing to compromise on your edits
* you don't think their expertise is worth 15% of your advance
I... can't think this way. Literary agents have been crucial to my career. 3/

So, how do you get a literary agent?
1. Have a finished, revised, edited, polished manuscript.
2. Write a query letter for your book
3. Send your query to agents who rep your genre and are open to submissions
4. Repeat steps 1-4 until you're offered representation. 4/

So, let's go through those four steps. First of all, you must have a finished, revised, edited, polished book, and it must be sellable. That is, you can't sell a 600k picture book or a 40k adult Fantasy, etc. You must read extensively in the genre you're writing. 5/

SRI VARAHA NARSIMHA, SIMHACHALAM, VIZAG (AP)
#bharatmandir

One of the 32 Narsimha Kshetram of Andhra. It has a unique form of Narsimha, appearing like a shivlingam

It is said that Narsimha’s fierce nature is soothed by worshipping him with Varaha, considered a peaceful deity


The shrine is believed to have been constructed by Prahlada. With time, it crumbled.
In Treta yuga, King Pururava was passing from here in his vimana. The vimana was attracted to this place by a mystic power.
When the place was unearthed, the deity was found.
@GunduHuDuGa


Pururava’s wife, Urvashi, had a dream that the deity should remain covered in sandalwood paste for the whole year except on Akshaya Tritiya.
This practice has continued till date.
The mukhya mandap here, has a pillar kappam stambham believed to possess curative powers.


Chandanotsava/ Chandan Yatra is the most important festival celebrated on Akshaya Tritiya. The sandalwood paste is removed from the moolavar deity and nijarupa darshan (original form of deity) for twelve hours of the day are done by devotees.

A relationship begins to get stiff when excessive patterns begin to form.

Too many patterns leads to a boring, predictable, logical lifestyle.

Get the emotions involved.

Do something spontaneous out of the blue moon & flip the script.

'What's wrong with the patterns?'

Nothing is wrong with patterns.

However, there is a problem when all you have are patterns.

It's boring.

'Can you explain why?'

Sure 👇

The thing with relationships is that it's meant to be an emotional experience.

It's very difficult to logically explain love, right?

'Right.'

Well this is where you want to steer the ship the right way.

1. Too emotional is bad.

2. Too logical is bad.

Let me break it down.

1. Too emotional

If a relationship is completely ruled by emotions, then it's too volatile.

You will never reach productivity if you are aimlessly only following each others emotions.

This lifestyle tarnishes any structure for the couple.

'So why do people do it?'

Because it's fun.

You may ruled by this stage in the honeymoon phase.

Normal.

You'll be so spontaneous that it almost becomes a lifestyle.

But it's hard to level up your life when you're too spontaneous.

Avoid.

You want to know something about how bullshit insane our brains are?
OK, so there's a physical problem with our eyes: We move them in short fast bursts called "saccades", right? very quick, synchronized movements.
The only problem is: they go all blurry and useless during this

having your vision turn into a blurry mess every time you move your eyes is obviously not a good idea, so our brains hide it from us. Now, imagine you're an engineer and you have this problem.

You've got some obvious solutions you could do.
1. make the vision go black during movement. (Some VR games do this!)
2. just keep showing the last thing we saw prior to movement

both are good options with different downsides, but OH NO. this is assuming everything makes sense and is chronological and (regular) logical.
Your brain does neither of these options, really.

first, it basically puts your visual system on "pause". You're not seeing blackness or even nothing, you're just not seeing period.
then when you finish your saccade, it shows you what you now see at the new position. and then it pretends it can time travel.
