Zero-Config Debugging With Deno and OpenTelemetry, by @lcasdev (@deno_land):

https://deno.com/blog/zero-config-debugging-deno-opentelemetry

A reflective take on how modern systems—from social media to certifications—reward surface-level wins over deep effort. This post explores how we’ve learned to game metrics, optimize for the minimum, and lose sight of meaning in the process. It asks: what happens when the game replaces the goal?

[I am, of course, biased in this regard, but I also like well-presented metrics – and use cases being met are my favourite!]

Stanley Cup playoffs are just around the corner, starting this weekend.

I'll post some #data #visualization #dataviz for each team pairs before the playoffs start. First, we'll start with the eastern conference. Atlantic, we'll first have the battle of #Ontario with #Toronto #MapleLeafs vs #Ottawa #Senators. These are rolling 5 days #metrics for each team, allowing for easy comparison. #hnom #stanleycup #nhl #hockey

The WebAIM Million: The 2025 Report on the Accessibility of the Top 1,000,000 Home Pages, by @webaim:

https://webaim.org/projects/million/

I recently discovered that diagnostic plugs in cars were more or less standard (OBD2) and that you could buy a plug reader for like 30 bucks. I also discovered that some OBD2 prometheus exporters exist.

So now basically my new project is to have a server in my car, like a RPi. It would srcap the OBD2 data locally and backfill it into my home prometheus database whenever the car gets into my home wifi range.

Discover Diff Authoring Time (DAT), developed by Meta!

DAT measures the time developers need to submit changes ("diffs") to the codebase. It offers insights into the efficiency of the development process and helps identify areas for improvement.

Johan Cruyff on the limits of data:

‘What I know for certain is that the conclusions I would draw from experience are different from the ones based only on figures. Because if Lionel Messi scores three times out of every ten attempts, he might be criticized by someone who sees only the statistics for being just 30 per cent effective. I’d say: just copy him and see if you can get up to that level. It’s practically impossible.’
