KubeCon+CloudNativeCon EU 2024 - OTel Sucks
During one of the sessions at KubeCon, @codeboten had this idea of having a "OTel Sucks" talk, in the same format as "Linux Sucks" that's been highly popular.

- [ ] Recruit volunteers to deliver this talk
- [ ] Collect ideas from users on what's bad about OTel, and what's good
- [ ] Prepare the presentation, with a dry-run closed to maintainers
@codeboten, would you like to follow-up on this one? If so, I'll assign this to you.
I'd be happy to help.
@jpkrohling my recollection of the conversation is that you had the idea :D i won't be at kubecon EU, but will be happy to take this on if no one has by salt lake :)
Same, I thought @jpkrohling was enchanted with this idea. I assume there'll be plenty of things to comment on for both EU and US conferences.
I might have said out loud first, but you all tricked me into doing it!
It's likely too late for Paris now, given that the CFP has closed and I have two proposals lined up for Observability Day already. Perhaps another maintainer would like to propose this for Observability Day?
@jpkrohling happy to funnel you various feedback items I've seen over time. There's quite a lot :D
@yurishkuro has mentioned he'd be interested in having something similar as well. Perhaps you both could collaborate on a presentation, @cartermp?
I'm certainly open to it!
I would also say that we should have any such talk also have a short section about "and this is what we're looking to make better" or something like that.
The original Linux Sucks has half of it being about ways Linux has deceived its users, and about half of it on how it's still awesome. We should definitely follow this format.
just curious, was an otel sucks talk proposed for kubecon/o11yday now?
Not to my knowledge. But we should keep track of this for NA 2024.
I'm closing this, as this wasn't proposed for EU 2024. I'll open a new one for NA 2024.
