There are two “user interfaces” to an application: the frontend that your customers interact with and the internal backend view.

Jeremy Blythe writes about “Effective Trace Instrumentation with Semantic Conventions” because telemetry is a big part of the internally-facing user interface of our software, and that’s a big part of developer experience.
The recent changes in semantic conventions are rough. Honeycomb’s open-source team made a whole page to help track which instrumentation libraries have upgraded to the new conventions. TL;DR: Java is on it, .NET has some, and the other languages aren’t there yet.
Bonus: Mike Terhar has a detailed post on how to manage the migration.
