It's interesting (and mildly embarrassing) how much I used to think this too. Holy fuckola, how wrong I was.

 Don't get me wrong, our storage engine is the rock upon which everything rests.

As the market matures over the next few years, our strategy and differentiation will shift away from "only we deliver o11y" to exploiting all the unusual capabilities of our storage tier. 😈🐝
Subsecond ad hoc querying over weeks of webscale traffic.. unsampled? ✅

Drill down from high level SLOs to see all of the dimensions, diffed in order of their degree of outlieriness vs the baseline? ✅

The raw speed and flexibility unlocks soooooo many product daydreams.
But that's just good engineering. How to build a product that helps our customers achieve meaningful observability...that is a design problem.

Teaching people to lean into their curiosity and follow the signal? Design (and product) problem.
This time last year, we were hiring our first product leader, our very first design leader. We had ~9 people writing code.

We've been busy 🙃 we now have four in product, seven in design, and just doubled our engineering firepower. Every single one of them is ✨😍amazing 🔥🤩🐝
What I'm saying is, I'm not just yapping; we really are putting our chips down big on design this year.

We will succeed largely to the extent that our design, product and engineering teams are equal players of equal caliber who love the shit out of each other.
Speaking from within my own little domain of R&D, that is. 🙃 and as a product-led company, getting this right is huge. But not everything.

In some ways, for a company like us, getting the product right is the easy (😩!) part. When you're creating a category, GTM is FUCKING HARD
Our customer success team is going to bear the brunt of helping users navigate their observability journey while helping our product folks make it better, faster, easier.

Our sales team is the only one I know of in software that is 0% threatened by our generous free tier 🙃🌷
Our marketing team (and mighty devrel) have to span worlds effortlessly and invisibly; building the demand gen engine, building enduring partnerships, pushing the industry forward with OTel, educating and explaining. Oh, and positioning can be one of the hardest parts of product.
Did I mention how small but mighty our sales team is? It is hard to build a high performing sales org, but it's harder when so many of your prospects show up already acting like they hate you.

"Your sales folks are the only ones I'm ever genuinely happy to hear from" - a user 🌷
Fact: it is easier to hire world class biz folks when you don't casually demean them or their work.

If an engineering candidate exoticizes or dismisses sales or marketing, they get an auto thumbs down from me.
One of the (many) things I love about @lizthegrey is how easily she agreed to put devrel with product marketing. (This also put her multiple hops away from the C*O, a devastating blow at a hierarchical org).

I can say this shit all day, it's actions like these that make it real.
Each of these functions has to be individually stellar at executing and course-correcting, respect each other and resolve conflict productively, and they need a strategy that is mostly correct and under continuous alignment...

It's basically impossible. We're probably doomed. ☺️

@curaffairs The author doesn't know enough about search to have written that article and the reason he's having those problems is AI algos like Rank Brain and Google's attempts to use natural language processing nothing to do with SEOs.

1/x

YMYL is not evaluated at the site level, but the query level.

Again this is on Google, not SEOs because they want to surface better sites.

And those devaluations are part of Core Updates which SEOs like me recover sites from.

2/

Featured Snippets are not optimized for - you can use certain HTML to be pulled in one but there is no definite use case where Featured Snippets are shown or that your site's will show for it. Also doesn't always come from the #1 result.

& that's Google not the SEO.

3/

Also there are many times when an SEO doesn't want their site in the Featured Snippet cuz it doesn't result in a click to the website. But we have no control over what Google pulls as Feature Snippets except to put in a meta tag to exclude us from them

And Neil Patel is not an SEO. Most senior level SEOs see him as nothing more than a scammer because reportedly he's ripped them off by stealing their content and articles and passing them off as his.

The Internet is at a tipping point, here’s what you’ve probably never heard coming next.

Time for a thread 👇👇👇

1) Let’s start with the users…

Today over 50% of the world is on social media AND on average we each have 70-80 usernames and passwords.

Each of these accounts are owned and controlled by the platforms.

Recipe for disaster.


2) In 2021 American adults spend over 4 hours a day online - that is half a work day.

Time is our most valuable asset, did you realize you are giving this away for free?


3) The applications we use today are built on the foundation of ‘Free + Ads’.

You get free access.

They get YOUR account, YOUR data, YOUR screen time, YOUR community.

And the worst part? This can all be taken away at any moment.


4) So where do we go from here?

It starts with self-sovereign digital identities.

ONLY the user owns their identity data online without intervention from outside parties.

Data drop! Some numbers, nuggets and trends for bowl season which I find interesting...

Miami has lost 9 of its last 10 bowl games and is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 bowl games. Oklahoma State has covered each of its last four bowl games, three coming as an underdog.

This is the first time since 2011 Texas is favored in a bowl game...

Wisconsin has won five of their last six bowl games with the only loss in that span a one-point loss to Oregon last year in the Rose Bowl. Each of Wake Forest’s last five bowl games have been one-possession games (6, 3, 3, 8, 6)...

Mike Leach coached teams are 1-9 ATS in their last ten bowl games (4-6 SU). Included in those ten games are four outright losses and a 1-7 ATS mark as a favorite. In the last five years, Leach’s teams have averaged 19.6 PPG in bowl games (28 is the high in that span)...

There are lots of problems with ad-tech:

* being spied on all the time means that the people of the 21st century are less able to be their authentic selves;

* any data that is collected and retained will eventually breach, creating untold harms;

1/


* data-collection enables for discriminatory business practices ("digital redlining");

* the huge, tangled hairball of adtech companies siphons lots (maybe even most) of the money that should go creators and media orgs; and

2/

* anti-adblock demands browsers and devices that thwart their owners' wishes, a capability that can be exploited for even more nefarious purposes;

That's all terrible, but it's also IRONIC, since it appears that, in addition to everything else, ad-tech is a fraud, a bezzle.

3/

Bezzle was John Kenneth Galbraith's term for "the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it." That is, a rotten log that has yet to be turned over.

4/

Bezzles unwind slowly, then all at once. We've had some important peeks under ad-tech's rotten log, and they're increasing in both intensity and velocity. If you follow @Chronotope, you've had a front-row seat to the

SRI LALITHAMBIGAI, THIRUMEYACHUR (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Kshetram where Shiva is worshipped as Meghanatha and his consort is Lalithambigai seen in Abhay mudra.
Once, a demon Pandasura was harassing the Devas who went to Devi Parashakti for protection. 
@GunduHuDuGa


Devi rose from a Yaga Gunda, mounted on the Sri Chakra Rath with the name Lalithambika, waged a war against Pandasura and destroyed him.  When her fury did not subside, Shiva asked her to go to Earth, assume the name Manonmani, perform penance and shed her fury.


Shiva blessed Devi to be Shanta nayagi. There is a sculpture here depicting Shiva pacifying Devi. If you observe closely, you can see that from your left hand side there will be a smile on Her face and if you see from your right hand side you can see anger in Her face.


Hayagriva taught the greatness of Lalitha Sahasranama to Rishi Agasthya. Pleased with his devotion, Ma Lalithambikai appeared before Agastya. He is believed to have then sung Lalita Navaratnamala in praise of Devi. He has also composed a hymn named Rahasyanamasahasram.

HORANADU ANNAPOORNESHWARI, CHIKMAGALUR (KAR)
#bharatmandir

Annapoorneshwari is the Devi of nutrition and food. The literal meaning of Annapoorneshwari is “Feeding one and all”. Anyone who comes here is offered meals and shelter within the premises.
@LostTemple7


Maharshi Agastya is believed to have done pratishtha here.

Once, Shiva and Parvati had an argument. Shiva declared everything in the world including food to be Maya or illusion. To prove him wrong, Devi Parvati disappeared resulting in entire Earth becoming still.


Taking pity, Devi appeared as Annapoorna and relieved everyone.
Another belief is that once Shiva beheaded Brahma and his skull got stuck in Shiva’s hand. He was cursed that till the skull is not full of food or grains, it will remain stuck to his hands.


Shiva went everywhere and asked for food but the skull was never full. He finally came here and Maa Annapoorna filled the skull with grains and reversed Shiva’s curse.

It is believed that who ever visits Devi Annapoorna here will never be without food in their lives.
