A command-line tool for tracing slow database queries across services. It started as a weekend script and got out of hand, which is how most useful things start.
Before this I spent six years on payments infrastructure, which taught me more about failure modes than any book.
Long-form notes on systems, debugging and the occasional rant about tooling.
Happy to talk at meetups about databases, observability or career changes into engineering.
I keep two mentoring slots open at any time, free, for people switching into the industry.
