PS- I just skimmed https://opentelemetry.io, which your readme.md links to.

Good stuff. Much industry progress since I was last in the arena.

Their site has words about manual and automatic instrumentation. I'd have to dig a bit to see what they mean.

--

So. Remembering a bit more... Will try to keep this brief; you're a busy person.

> tend to log useless information or fail to tag them in ways that are actually searchable

#1 - I don't know know to manage lifecycle of meta. Who needs what? When is it safe to remove stuff?

We logged a lot of URLs. So many URL params. And when that wasn't crazy enough, over flow into HTTP headers. Plus partially duplicate, incorrectly, info in the payloads, a la SOAP. ("A person with two watches has no idea what time it is.")

When individual teams were uncertain, they'd just forward everything they received (copypasta), and add their own stuff.

Just replace all that context with correlation IDs, right?

Ah, but there's "legacy". And unsupported protocols, like Redis and JDBC. And brain dead 3rd party services, with their own brain dead CSRs and engrs.

This is really bad, and just propagates badness, but a few times, in a pinch, I've created Q&D "logging proxy". Just to get some visibility.

So dumb. And yet... Why stop there? Just have "the fabric" record stuff. Repurpose Wireguard into an Omniscient Logger. (Like the NSA does. Probably.) That'd eliminate most I/O trace style logging, right?

Image all these "webservices" and serverless apps without any need for instrumentation. Just have old school app level logging.

#2 - So much text processing.

An egregious example is logging HTTP headers. Serialize them as JSON and send that payload to a logging service. Which then rehydrate and store it some where.

My radical idea, which exactly no one has bought into, is to just pipe HTTP (Requests and Responses) as-is to log files. Then rotate, groom, archive, forward, ingest, compress, whatever as desired.

That's what I did on the system I mentioned. All I/O was just streamed to files. And in the case of the HL7 (medical records stuff), it was super easy to extract the good bits, use that for Lucene's metadata, and store the whole message as the Lucene document.

I know such a radical idea is out of scope for your work. Just something fun to think about.

#3

> if none of your logs let you link service performance to customer X

Yup. Just keep adding servers. Kick the can down the road.

One team I helped had stuff randomly peg P95. And then sometimes a seemingly unrelated server would tip over. Between timeouts, retries, and load balancers, it really seemed like the ankle bone was connected to the shoulder bone. It just made no sense.

Fortunately, I had some prior experience. Being new to nodejs, maybe 5 years ago, I was shocked to learn there was no notion of back pressure. It was a challenging concept to explain to those teammates. But the omission of backpressure, and a hunch, was a good place for me start. (I'm no Dan Luu or Bryan Cantrill.)

I'd like to think that proper end-to-end logging, and the ability to find signal in the noise, diagnosis would have been more mundane.

> The researchers found a total of 45% of flavored and unflavored supplements tested positive for rancidity, with 32% of flavored supplements testing positive and 13% of unflavored pills.

They added percentages of two separate groups to get the total rate of rancidity. Seems like the overall rate of rancidness is roughly 1/4, not 45%. Makes me think either 1) this was not written by a human or 2) the human who wrote this made a pretty egregious error.

Overall takeaway is: don't buy flavored omega-3 supplements.
No. Some languages don't require you to play cat and mouse games to get around artificial limitations put there by the language designers.

There was a talk at PyCon a while back about that patterns commonly used in Java were non-existent in Python.
The word you're looking for is "uppity." "Arrogant" is the CEO assuming he's worth hundreds of times more than a different man.
That’s so gross. Ick. Great finding. I’ve actually wondered about this in the past.
In addition, it could be that the PhDs' technical research and work is about how to structure a portfolio strategy such that it can profit from insider trading when the opportunity arises without triggering any SEC alerts.

For example, maintain a portfolio across as wide an asset base as possible, while trading each asset frequently enough that any insider trade inserted into the mix looks random, or at least plausibly deniable, and thus a low-odds case for the SEC to prosecute.
That goal, as you’ve stated, is nowhere on the website. Thanks for clarifying your position though.

It seems to me that a lot of these skills can and should be cultivated inside the company. Toyota famously incorporated this idea into their corporate culture from top to bottom. The company has done very well, yet the CEO's pay is modest by US standards - about $7 million this year, some 80% of which is in the form of stock options. This was a record; in recent years the job has paid in the $-5 million range. Toyota isn't the world's most bleeding edge company, but it's fair to rank it among industry leaders globally. I've never heard anyone saying they wish they hadn't bought one of their vehicles.

Do the official docs even have tutorials? I'd send beginners to Khan Academy instead.
Address-of (&) can be resolved at load time, making this possible at file scope:

struct node {
struct node *next, *prev;
} circular_list = { &circular_list, &circular_list };

This requires no initialization code to run; linking resolves it.

Very long ago I made a GUI help system for a program, where all the documentation nodes were represented as structures with pointers for their navigation links: next section, previous section, up, children ...

I statically declared the entire content with declarations akin to the above circular_list.

The help GUI was just a window which displayed the node contents, and the buttons like next and prev just chased the pointers to another node which would replace the displayed content.

Worked like a charm.

Good luck giving that to internationalization people to translate. Haha!

>And should mediocre CEOs that fail or otherwise perform poorly get golden parachutes? No, of course not

So start there instead of making it seem like your few specific examples speak for the entire population of CEOs. Talk about the CEOs who fumbled completely during COVID despite having a great position, demanded benefits despite their huge reserves and are now crying about having to pay it back while their profits are up.

Talk about the CEOs dumping their toxic waste straight into the rivers to avoid having to pay costs. And the CEOs who push for every trick in the book to pay a close to zero net tax. And the ones who will lobby and keep almost any potential upstart from ever becoming a threat. And those who have solidified themselves in their branch thanks to first mover advantage, and can do whatever they want and still succeed despite our 'competitive free market' (yeah right).

>They deserve to earn drastically more than the average worker.

They already did in absolute terms. Percentages compound. How about explaining why CEOs need an even bigger advantage in both absolute and relative terms than they had before? Did the workers not contribute to their success?

And why are the workers the first to feel the headwind whereas the CEOs are the first to feel the tailwind?
That's just not true.

If you're losing on Constitutional grounds, I agree with you. But if you're losing the case on legal grounds it can absolutely be a silver lining, since it can demonstrate to Congress a need to legislate (I know, I know, a foreign concept for Congress).

Consider Section 230, though. It was passed because the Supreme Court ruled on a case in a way that irritated Congress. The Courts were bound because the law was what it was. But those Court cases prompted Congress to act. The actual rulings from the Court were horrendous precedent, and if that's where the policymaking stopped the internet would have been a disaster. But Congress acted and passed Section 230.
> nor the experience to manage thousands of people.

No-one is managing thousands of people.

You might have ~10 direct reports as CEO (common incident command theory says that number should be between 3 and 7, optimal around 5, because after that, you start to lose connectivity between what each report is doing).
at least in usa the word uppity has some other connotations. also i was quoting that guy as saying arrogant so i guess he was the one looking for the other word not me
CEO pay is adjusted based on another CEOs in the market. Since every board members has already markup their CEO pays higher and then higher, the increases are what you see today for CEO pay. Not every CEO skills at Steve/Tim/Jensen but they all delude themselves by paying high, hoping they will eventually get Elon-quality CEO into their company and make their stock the next Tesla-NVIDIA-Netflix. Most of the time, they get Stephen Elop type of CEO, unconsciously destroying company in the name of strategic stakeholder value maximization (MBA lingo). Now what about workers? The good one will just hop away. They then will tell everyone "no one is replaceable" and then go on to mis-hire even more incompetent or noob staff in. Or they will outsource it just like Dell and others during Bush Jr time.

What they need to do is to publicly disclose the performance of their CEO. Have CEOs rated by staff and publicly distribute this info worldwide. They also need to implement clawback dating as far as a decade depending whatever products they in charge during their tenure. And lastly, always put full jail offenses directly on CEO without any plea bargain. Not doable? Then workers need to get retrenched as they rightly deserve it when they didnt bother to hop away.
Wikipedia on this (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polygamy&oldid=11...):

"serial monogamy, marriage with only one other person at a time, in contrast to bigamy or polygamy[.] Some definitions of serial monogamy consider it to be polygamy, as it can result in evidence of genetic polygamy. It can also be considered polygamy for anthropological reasons."

So, "serial monogamy" vs "serial polygamy" seem to be two different interpretations of the same phenomenon:

- Serial monogamy: multiple monogamous relationships

- Serial polygamy: a polygamous relationship where the individual partners/relationships are separated in the time domain (like time-division multiplexing (TDM) in engineering: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Time-division_mul...).

Per-capita GDP is a good measure of how much wealth a country is producing, but it says nothing about how that wealth is distributed. While Japan's per capita GDP is lower, it's a vastly more equal society than the US, where a large portion of that wealth is captured by a small % of people. The unsustainability of this, long term, is part of the overall debt story.

That was my first thought at "270,000+ employees across 16 brands". They're not handling those people. They're paying multiple tiers below them to deal with those people. They'd be thinking of brands as units, and staff below them think of teams within those brands as units, and so on.
Doing math like this is always bad and just leads to arguments.

Imagine a chocolate bar factory, making chocolate bars for 50 cents and selling them for $1... 1mio per month, 500k profits per month.

Then a new ceo comes, sees that all the ingredients are vegan, there are nuts inside, making the bars "healthy", slaps on vegan logos, superfood logos, changes the ads to make the chocolate bar seem more high end and raises the price to $2 each... due to new logos, superfood text and ads, even with a price increase, 1mio of chocolate bars are sold, and the profits rise from 500k to 1.5mio per month.

Did the workers make the chocolates that brought in 500k? sure. Did the same workers make the same chocolates that brought in 1.5mio? sure. Did the workers do anything differently than the month before? Change anything? No. Did the ceo make a single chocolate bar? Nope. If the workers did the same as they did the month before, and if the CEO didn't make a single chocolate bar, who 'created' the extra 1mio of profits?

Sure, it sounds intuitive to put dollar values to each person, but reality is more complex than that. In the end, workers want to get the as much as possible money for least work done, and owners want to pay as little as possible for as much as possible work done... and that applies to everything, from workers and owners in a company to average joe buying apples (most apples for least amount of money)

It’s never at the same time and older siblings help with the younger ones which is still an infinitely better situation than some low paid employee watching 15 kids at the same time.

Also that time has passed. All of Asia including south and south east are basically at replacement rate. Africa averages higher but not by a whole lot more and that number is dropping quickly.

There’s a reason women from wealthy families never work and dedicate all their time to raising kids.
The CEO here is the least likely to be responsible for the increase/decrease in profits/value in that one year. The best you can hope for is a pr boost. Whatever strategy change would not be visible in the short period. Key hires there is not enough time for an impact. Whatever value increase is going to come from vps and everyone down the line. Why not give them the upside on the value they create?
50% of SPY constituents are going to beat SPY. That in itself doesn't imply the CEO is a meaningful factor in company performance.
For all those who think that a high debt-to-GDP ratio is fine (put the meme picture here) and that the US will simply follow the Japan scenario for several decades at least (nothing great, but nothing catastrophic), I highly recommend to read this Lyn Alden's article: https://www.lynalden.com/economic-japanification/

To summarize it: Japan and US are in two very different situations, the former is one of the largest world's creditor nations, while the latter is THE largest world debitor nation. The reserve currency status, while quite useful for kicking the can down the road, makes situation exponentially more dangerous when the can will hit a wall.
I find so many people in m part of the US that are like completely oblivious to what goes on around the world. Its like Plato’s cave, they only know how bad things can get based on a limited view of the world.

I can’t help but imagine future generations will think extremely poorly of current gen Europeans for the plate their being handed.

>Anyone thinking a C-Suiter clocks out at 5pm and doesn't work after hours has no experience in the C-Suite (or even upper management for the matter). There isn't really a such thing as "off hours" for these folks on average. Correspondingly, decisions made by your C-Suite can earn a company huge returns, or doom the company and all of it's employees and stake holders.

you're ignoring the contributions of people in the company that make the C-suites job possible. Why should the C-suite be entitled to this just because they work long hours?

I work long hours. I've had jobs - salaried, mind you - where I worked past 5 PM, well into the evening, and no stock options are not the same. At any rate, one of those jobs the stock options weren't worth anything anyway.

CEOs get golden parachutes and gobs of money and for what all, exactly? What do they actually contribute?

I'd love for there to be an experiment where you take a senior operations person, for instance, and put them in the CEO role, and see, if given the same support and onboarding, if they can't make good or possibly better decisions than the someone with "CEO experience"

I've met alot of CEOs, and they don't tend to be very in touch with their workforce, they simply see what they want to see, most of the time, few exceptions.
Also note that year-over-year numbers are still skewed by comparing to the pandemic years. Debt-to-GDP compared to two years ago is less not because the debt situation got better, but because GDP two years ago was artificially depressed by the pandemic restrictions.

That’s already how it works. Workers took pay cuts in 2008 to keep the companies going. It worked and now the UAW is asking for the same pay recovery that the C-suite already received.
Yes. You could join an existing company and build something for them.

> What I mean is that the US government is mostly in debt to itself, in money it can print.

Because if it did just print money to service the debt, the value of the dollar would drop due to more USD in circulation. Remember when a load of money was added to circulation during COVID, and then a year later inflation reached the highest levels in half a century [1], until the supply started to drop? That was $2.2 trillion USD. Imagine the inflation $33 trillion would bring.

Because the pool for a CEO hire is much smaller, than "people with MBAs" as has been floated in thread elsewhere.

If you want to hire a CEO, you either usually are looking either at A) A CEO of another company with experiences relevant the current situation, at a size similar to the current company's size. Or B) A senior exec (CFO, COO, etc ...) at the same company, or more rarely an involved board member.

These are self-limiting pools.
