Boxes, Stress, and Observability

ObserCrew,🙌

Moving house this weekend was quite the adventure. Boxes were piled high, essentials were misplaced, and there was that classic "Which box has the coffee maker?" moment. It reminded me a lot of our work in observability: sorting through chaos to find clarity. Amidst the hustle, I've gathered some exciting updates I can't wait to share. So, grab your favourite beverage (if you can find it), and let's dive into this week.

So here's what is coming up in this week’s Digest 👉

These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2023

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

WHAT’S ON MY MIND

This weekend was quite the adventure, I moved into a new place! Picture boxes stacked high, a maze of stuff everywhere, and a sprinkle of chaos. It felt a lot like trying to monitor a complex system without any observability tools, overwhelming and a bit unpredictable. It really made me appreciate the value of organisation and visibility. So, apologies for this issue being a few hours late, but thanks for sticking with me. Sometimes, life's little detours remind us why we do what we do!

happy observing!

Much 😍,
