So you think Distributed Tracing is the new thing? Well - its not! But its never been as exciting as today!In this episode we combine 50 years of Distributed Tracing experience across our guests and hosts. We invited Christoph Neumueller and Thomas Rothschaedl who have seen the early days of agent-based instrumentation, how global standards like the W3C Trace Context allowed tracing to connect large enterprise systems and how OpenTelemetry is commoditizing data collection across all tech stacks.Tune in and learn about the difference between spans and traces, why collecting the data is only part of the story, how to combat the challenge when dealing with too much data and how traces relate and connect to logs, metrics and events.Links we discussedYouTube with Christoph: LINK WILL FOLLOW ONCE VIDEO IS POSTEDChristoph's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophneumueller/Thomas's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rothschaedl/

This week, I was reminded of the joy of creating something with my hands. It was nothing special, in fact they were very average, imperfect, lobsided. They took two and a half hours to make. It was, by some distance, the longest I focused on a single thing all week. I was at a ‘wheel throwing' pottery class. Trying to get my clumsy hands to caress clay into the shape we were aiming for. I got comfortable with failure. All I thought about for two and half hours was that damn clay. I didn't look at my phone, think about work, the rest of the day, or even the fact I was splattered in clay. It was awesome being caught up in the moment. But it brought something else into sharp relief - how terrible my attention span is for the rest of the week. I'm not a huge fan of New Years' resolutions (how are they going by the way?) but 2025 just may be the year I resuscitated my attention span. According to Dr Gloria Mark, one of the world's leading ‘attention span' experts, I was experiencing flow - a state of deep engagement, total immersion in an activity. It's a creative experience, with the reward coming from the doing rather than the result. Flow is almost the complete opposite of what we experience in the digital world. Dr Mark's research shows we spend an average of just 47 seconds on any screen before shifting our attention - she calls this kinetic attention. You can blame social media, the internet, email, the way apps are designed to manipulate our brains, but it's still on each of us to decide how we behave online - we're as distracted we let ourselves be. The more we flick between screens, the more we multi-task, the busier we are, the more we deplete our attention capacity and executive functioning. We're exhausting ourselves. In her book Attention Span: Finding Focus for a Fulfilling Life, Dr Mark has a huge amount of information on all this. To summarise, if you want to reduce stress and tiredness, she suggests taking breaks to exercise or do a cross word, designing your day around it so you do your hardest thinking when you're most focused, and sticking to a daily goal. They're all simply steps. But they do require conscious effort. Ironically, I followed none of them writing this editorial. Gosh it took forever. I'm hoping that if I throw a little more clay this year the flow will spread to other areas of my life. So do you have something in your life that totally absorbs you, and it work beautifully to provide fulfilment? Or have you decided this was the year of working on your attention span? How's it going? Maybe you've put down the phone - or put restrictions on your device use. How easy has that been? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elections officials in Lancaster and York counties have identified a large number of improperly filled-out voter registration forms.  Election day is just five days away, but unofficial results likely won't be known for a day or two. That's because Pennsylvania voters can cast ballots early, but elections officials can't start processing them until Election Day. Third-party presidential candidate Cornel West has lost a Supreme Court bid to be included on the presidential ballot in Pennsylvania.  The national and state Republican parties are appealing a state court ruling that would relax the rules for mail ballots.   An elaborate display in a Westmoreland County community's Halloween parade is drawing harsh criticism. It happened in Mount Pleasant Borough and appeared to depict Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in chains, being led by a vehicle. Elon Musk and his super PAC promised Pennsylvania voters 100 dollars if they signed a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. A Chester County man says he has yet to be paid.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daniel Kang, VP of finance at Mercury, joins CJ for a dive deep into the nuances of annual planning. Dan talks about why if annual planning feels like a finance exercise, it is destined to fail and will feel like pulling teeth. He describes how to use this exercise to lead a broader strategic discussion about a company's direction for a process that is more impactful and less tedious. Dan also highlights that if you're searching for big ideas during the annual planning process, there may be underlying issues with your company's roadmap or innovation processes. He touches on the idea that planning tends to expand to fit the time allotted, explains why most companies spend too much time on it, and warns against the trap of false productivity. The conversation delves into how the planning process evolves with a company's growth, including how to calibrate for each stage and ensure plans are actionable.
