DevOps are watching agentic AI change everything when doubling down on proactive operations and efficiencies. That path is a move beyond simple data logging – it’s based on open standards, rooted in open source and instrumentation should be "table stakes." to ensure developers are not locked into proprietary agents.

Observability that is open wins!

Lance is a great guy and that lab for a decade plus has done great work and supported so much of community. Happily supported their start and will continue to.

Exactly. I don't understand the drama on this at all.

"Corporate Open Source is dead"?? I don't even know what that means! Having launched at least 20 open source companies, several that went public -- this is not news that this faction of companies were NEVER going to make it (AND WE SAID SO). And that is ok.

What is C

I think the path in technology for open technology-based startups no longer looks like it used to for a lot of reasons - financial, maturity of online users, and more. We have really crossed a point where building a startup from scratch - without a strategic VC, ability to share customers with an established player in the market or ability to build on top of another company's technology/platform - is just not possible. The fabled guys in a garage inventing the next thing is gone.

Transparency is a tricky thing. Much information came from tribal knowledge. As rules have changed for private companies in the US, we saw some of the information being provided "as open" became the norm or required so there is less of a need to share it and there is not that "goodwill" factor. Most of what was being shared was available to some extent if you knew/know where to look.
