Did you know the interior of the average oven door can hold up to as much as 2 ounces of fully cooked dal?
It’s true. The trick, as I’ve discovered, is to make sure the dal is evenly distributed throughout the interior of the oven door and between as many layers of oven door window glass as possible.
I enjoy seeing the Slack workaround of people changing their handle to indicate when they are OOO. Even though Slack has first-class support for indicating status, people still find the handle rename a useful way to transmit this info.
@grimalkina I do appreciate how Slack decoupled your handle from your identity, so you can easily change your handle. Allowing different identities to use the same handle is an… interesting design decision.
@stuartmarks@regehr I thought of that sort of harsh reaction as I was reading this line from the book "Behind Human Error":
> To say that something should have been obvious when it manifestly was not, may reveal more about our ignorance of the demands and activities of this complex world than it does about the performance its practitioners.
Pretty much all of the woes of distributed tracing are caused from the mismatch of the mental model of distributed tracing that makes sense vs the one that can be built easily:
The model that makes sense is "lazily built and incrementally fleshed out call graph with late-binding updates of attributes as discovered"
But the way that makes sense to implement it is "strict call-stack semantics with fire-and-forget frozen rows of data into an append only data store"
