💬 “So...how’s your app doing?”
If you’re only looking at backend dashboards, you’re missing the point....and your users.
At #SREcon25, @bidetofevil.wtf & @davidrifkin.bsky.social break down why mobile telemetry is the missing piece of your reliability picture.

it's almost time for SRECon26, which means it's been less than a year since @ferd.ca and i were delivering the closing keynote at SRECon25.
my perspective has changed A LOT since then, and the advice i would give has changed too. i wrote it up here.

My (hypothetical) SRECon26 keynote
One year ago, Fred Hebert and I delivered the closing keynote at SRECon25. Looking back on it now, I can hardly connect with how I felt then. Here's what I'd say one year later.

eBPF is helping to reshape the common OS tradeoffs between Safety, Performance, and Programmability. It's like solving the CAP theorem, but for Linux
