Six years as a Telemetry Engineer at Mozilla.
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Another year went by, so that it's now been 6 years since I [joined Mozilla as a Telemetry engineer][joinedmoz],
|
|
||||||
I blogged every year since then: [2019], [2020], [2021], [2022], [2023]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Looking back at the past year it sure was different than the years before, again.
|
|
||||||
Obviously we left most of the pandemic isolation behind us and I got to meet more of my coworkers in person:
|
|
||||||
At the Mozilla All-Hands in Montreal, Canada, though that was cut short for me due to ... of course: Covid.
|
|
||||||
At PyCon DE and PyData here in Berlin.
|
|
||||||
And at another workweek with my extended team also here in Berlin.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
My work also changed.
|
|
||||||
As predicted a year ago I branched out beyond the Glean SDK, took a [look at our data pipeline](https://youtu.be/nZupfJy6I0A),
|
|
||||||
worked on features across the stack and wrote a ton of stuff that is not code.
|
|
||||||
Most of that work spanned months and months and some is still not 100% finished.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For this year I'm focusing a bit more on the SDK and client-side world again.
|
|
||||||
With Glean used just about everywhere it's time we look into some optimizations.
|
|
||||||
In the past we made it correct first and paid less attention to optimize resource usage (CPU & memory for example).
|
|
||||||
Now that we have more and more usage in Firefox Desktop (Use Counters!) we need to look into making data collection more efficient.
|
|
||||||
The first step is to get better insights where and how much memory we use.
|
|
||||||
Then we can optimize.
|
|
||||||
Firefox comes with some of its own tooling for that with which we need to integrate, see <about:memory> for example.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I'm also noticing some parts in our codebase where in hindsight I wish we had made different implementation decisions.
|
|
||||||
At the time though we did make the right choices, now we need to deal with that (memory usage might be one of these, storage sure is another one).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And Mozilla more broadly?
|
|
||||||
It's changing. All the time.
|
|
||||||
We just had layoffs and reprioritization of projects.
|
|
||||||
That certainly dampens the mood.
|
|
||||||
Focus shifts and work changes.
|
|
||||||
But underneath there's still the need to use data to drive our decisions and so I'm rather confident that there's work for me to do.
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
## Thank you
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
None of my work would happen if it weren't for my manager [Alessio] and team mates [Chris], [Travis], [Perry], [Bruno] and [Abhishek].
|
|
||||||
They make it fun to work here, always have some interesting things to share and they still endure my bad jokes all the time.
|
|
||||||
Thank you!
|
|
||||||
Thanks also goes out to the bigger data engineering team within Mozilla, and all the other people at Mozilla I work or chat with.
