Every time people talk about OTel I discover half the people are talking about spans rather that stats. For stats it’s not a ‘fancy logger’ because it’s condensing the data at various steps.
And if you’ve ever tried to trace a call tree using correlationIDs and Splunk queries and still say OTEL is ‘just a fancy’ then you’re in dangerous territory, even if it’s just by way of explanation. Don’t feed the masochists. When masochists derail attempts at pain reduction they become sadists.
