Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.

I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

instead of pressing multiple keys at a time: X allows the user
to press and release a modifier key, and have it remain
active until any other key is pressed. Microsoft first
introduced X with Windows 95.
This feature does not go well with a certain group of users,
especially those who loved to use a popular program by

animators in the world outside of Disney and we think the most talented in

graphics people in the world. There's really no one else in the world who
could do this stuff. It's really phenomenal. We're probably close to ten years

• Well first of all it was a totally 'plug and play' machine. Except

machine, way beyond the Macintosh. So it sort of nicely

playness' of the Mac. Second of all, the machine had a fit and
finish that you don't find today. Of course the Z Computer was
also the first computer with built-in high quality sound, CD
