Jonatan's Devnexus plying card in front of a laptop screen showing the description of his talk.

My talk is tomorrow @devnexus.bsky.social, please consider coming if you are interested in Observability.

Also, you can collect my card if you are participating in the card game.

I think it is very important. I gave you everything to fix it, please do not mislead your readers.

Please don't spread this. I already told @frankel.ch why this is not a good idea.

It's fantastic to see yet another project pick #micrometerio as the entry point to their observability story! I'm so proud to have co-authored the observation api. Remember: "instrument once and have multiple benefits out of it" hc.apache.org/httpcomponen...
