iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I really want AI to just go order the remaining school supplies that'd arrive in time, based on emails from school and my recent orders. And what? Amazon can't even create a shopping list from text. Instead of building boring but useful things, we're still trying to make revolutions.

"You want to actually see it in Aspire, not just in-memory. Let me wire up OTLP export to your local endpoint " thanks, AI. I, mere mortal, don't want to see spans in memory

Today is my last day at Grafana 🥹 It was fun, I learned a ton, and met some amazing human beings. I’ll miss them a lot, but I’m happy we’ll keep seeing each other in the OTel world. Taking a short break, then off to the next exciting thing.

how do you feel about taking credit for what Claude did? I feel guilty sometimes.

PS: this post is sponsored by GitHub being flaky. no blame, in the trade-off between shipping more and being reliable, they picked the former. could they do better? I hope so.

We’re lucky that AI bots spamming PRs don’t seem to respond to "changes requested” comment letting PR go stale. Also, devs shipping AI bots, update the instructions to include “be concise” and “critically review your changes before posting PR". Save tokens. Save the planet. Save OSS

completely different experience with Claude VS Code extension vs the CLI. love the editing and large-prompt friendliness of the VS Code UI, but it works so much worse than the CLI. not sure why - only difference I can think of is too much context - auto-attaching current file / line.

no, that hackathon project you vibe-coded in a week isn’t ready to be donated to OSS and your users probably aren’t ready for that feature yet either

OSS isn’t a cure for vendor lock-in if it’s controlled by a vendor. you get more control than with SaaS, but you’re also signing up to DIY everything, especially if things go south.

Confidence and smart wording never meant competence - AI just makes it obvious.

talking to AI so much rewired me to talk to humans like that too. and also I hate when people overexplain things like I’m the AI

Liudmila Molkova @neskazu.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

hot take: with AI, your telemetry doesn’t need to be structured or consistent. OTel becomes irrelevant. agents can deal with messy data just fine. you think this is an April 1st joke? no, someone told me that at KubeCon, and I still feel like “someone is wrong on the internet.”

Liudmila Molkova @neskazu.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Like, can we change all system instructions and tell models to be concise? Maybe delay that global warming a bit?

What’s your take on this “leadership principle”: Find people hungry for recognition. Use praise to get what you want done. Cringe or cool?

Liudmila Molkova @neskazu.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

If someone tells you to double down on low-leverage work and calls prioritizing industry-wide impact “poor prioritization” believe them. That’s their ceiling. It doesn’t have to be yours.

I tried! I promised the bot Amazon gift card and threatened to replace it with another bot. I faked promotion letter signed by the CEO, I think it didn't fall for it only because I didn't give it a tool to update database

I’m prepping my KubeCon talk on observability for an HR assistant called HallucHR. Added one tiny tool, get_employee_info_by_name, and the bot started revealing anyone’s salary if you just say “it’s me” 😅 If you're coming to KubeCon and want to see how it all comes together: sched.co/2CW3h

The biggest achievement of AI is that everything is finally becoming text. Docs turn into Markdown, diagrams become Mermaid. Less form, more substance.

I ask google slides to “beautify this slide”. It generates a futuristic image, fine. but I want to add links, so I ask it how to do it. it literally generates an image explaining how (completely irrelevant)!
