In the mid-1990s, I was enrolled in computer science classes. My university’s computer science department provided a SunOS server—a multi-user, multitasking Unix system—for its students. We logged into it and wrote source code for the programming languages we were learning, such as C, C++, and ADA.

Ten years ago, essentially the only people thinking hard about distributed tracing were academics and a handful of large internet companies.
