Structured logging, Serilog, Seq, Rust, and .NET 8 with Nicholas Blumhardt

About Nicholas Blumhardt:

I love putting software to work, helping to make people's lives more convenient, productive, and enjoyable. Drawing on my background in software development, I founded Datalust, a company creating new levels of simplicity and efficiency in software monitoring and diagnostics. Our product Seq is used in diverse industries including e-Commerce, health, education, energy and the financial sector.

Prior to focusing full-time on Seq, I worked on large-scale platform software at Microsoft, and on a wide range of consumer and enterprise software systems. I enjoy maintaining a connection to many of these professional communities through participation in the open-source software ecosystem. Helping others to enjoy and succeed in publishing open-source software is one of my great passions.
