The speaker highlighted a significant pain point: sharing large PromQL queries without syntax highlighting is a real headache. It can lead to misinterpretations and wasted time. The speaker noted that Microsoft Teams currently doesn’t natively support Go language syntax highlighting, leading to a frustrating experience when dealing with complex queries. ...
