Firewalls & The Fog of War – Clearing the Haze in Tech with Shelby Spees

Jonan Scheffler interviews Shelby Spees, Developer Advocate at Honeycomb.io about her background in teaching and speaking foreign languages, and the overlap between linguistics and software, because in large part, linguistics is about conveying information efficiently with different systems. Similarly, in software, we're always conveying information to machines and/or to each other, (and hopefully, more to each other than to the machines!)

Shelby also talks about her work helping contribute to the CNCF white paper on observability, which is collectively working towards a goal for the betterment of ourselves and our peers.
