I wanted to join the army as a kid, was infatuated by the forces. I had memorised spec-sheets, obsessed over the operations and used to be awestruck everytime I saw someone in olive green. Tried out a couple of times in college and was deemed medically unfit. I tried again last year but didn't make the cut either. Now I have crossed the age limit and will remain a code monkey for the rest of my life.

Nothing too bad. The life I live now is so much contrasting than the life I promised myself as a kid. I still have other hobbies and I still read a lot about the forces.

4 YOE.

Two years building observability infrastructure at current startup (YC 23). Built a Go library for zero-code OTel auto-instrumentation that scans 1000+ processes via /proc, shipped 7 production OTel integrations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Nginx, RabbitMQ and more), and architected backend systems for dynamic integration lifecycle management across databases and streaming services.

Also built internal tooling: an InnoDB metrics parser that doubled metrics output, and a DataDog-to-OTel metadata transformer. CI/CD pipelines, multi-platform builds, the whole thing.

Before this: FastAPI microservices at a startup, and facial recognition infra at Infosys with FAISS similarity search under 50ms for 100k+ images.

Opus 4.6 was working fine after the whole cache problems were solved. Now after the release of Opus 4.7, Anthropic has completely removed Opus 4.6. Why is Anthropic taking such poor descisions and screwing up with their customer base?

It is very much under progress.

https://naman47vyas.lol/ - Vibe coded. I do not have much front-end experience. Just plain simple html, css and js.

Backend engineer with 4+ years building distributed observability and data systems. At my current workplace, I built a CLI tool solving OpenTelemetry service-name collisions, architected 7+ production integrations increasing telemetry 2x, and designed type-safe config systems that eliminated biweekly crashes. Previously built large-scale facial recognition system with <50ms FAISS similarity search on 100K+ images.

I love building developer tools and infrastructure that just works. Passionate about open-source observability and making complex systems simple.

Our manager comes every 3-4 months, and assigns a ticket. Literally the only TEXT in the whole damn ticket was `Auto discovery in host and k8s`.

Auto discovery of fucking what?!!!

He writes in the message "IMP: we have a month so lets try to push to stage/BETA in 2-3 week and test it for a week and make it live before end of month."

mw-injector[0], it's a WIP project. It detects what Java, Node, Python or Golang services are running on a host and instruments it with Opentelemetry APM. Inspired by Otel-injector[1] but it automatically selects service names for each service so you have service level segregation.

There are great big software projects and shitty ones. IRCTC, UPI being examples of great ones.

Insurance and RTO being shitty ones.

I had an insurance deadline very near and the payment was not showing up in the insurance providers dashboard so had to do it twice and now it was still not showing up.

Also I have faced huge problems with getting the learner's licence online.

Do let me know if you've faced anything same.

Its interesting and sad that the social media apps all together evolved into doom scrolling apps.

Working on a binary that will instrument every Java service running on Linux host machine with OpenTelemetry Java Agent.

Kinda like this (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-injector) but with support of having multiple service name for different services. This includes tomcat, normal systemd services and also services running inside docker containers.

EDIT: I am popping my cherry with this comment on HN. Been a lurker since past 2-3 years.

Even with proper sandboxing, storing all sensitive credentials as environment variables is still a security anti-pattern. ENV vars are too easily accessible - any process can just run ENV.to_h and dump everything.
