Way to go Cristian! It always makes me happy to read about fellow Colombians doing great work.
I am also glad to know that the merge between OpenTracing and OpenCensus is still going well. I started adding telemetry to the projects I maintain in my current job and so far it has been very helpful to detect not only bottlenecks in the operations but also sudden spikes in the network traffic since we depend on so many 3rd-party web API that we have no control over.
We often have to contact them to either investigate these problems because sometimes it seems we are faster to detect them than them, or explicitly fix bugs that we have detected thanks to our integrations. It has been an interesting experience for me specifically because up until a year ago I thought the services provided by the companies we have been integrating were very-VERY reliable, but not, these integrations have opened my eyes to the fragile state of HTTP, AWS networking, and the uncertainty of working with 3rd-party companies.
Thank you OpenCensus team for providing me with the tools to learn more.
For someone who have been trying to immigrate to Canada for the last six years (from a South American country), that have invested hundreds of dollars investigating how Canadian immigration laws work, that have worked for three years for an US company in the security field, I find inconsistent all the news saying that the country needs professionals to keep the internal work force but then you find out that the government puts so many barriers in the immigration process that at the end you have to give up. I hope the government (including the Quebecoise) becomes flexible in the future so people can find better opportunities to immigrate there.
Hey, nice graphic, I have something similar here https://github.com/cixtor but it isn't a hack. Anyway, that's a very nice post, I also have a different explanation here, maybe you can compare some ideas, I use a different technique to achieve the same thing: http://www.cixtor.com/blog/57/github-contributions
Hello, today I'm coming with a very simple article, but with a curious image. This post doesn't have a technical explanation, it is just something that I want to share because it was funny to achieve this thing Cixtor GitHub Contributions (https://github.com/cixtor).
