Daily Reading List – October 27, 2023 (#192)

Today you’ll find a lot of content for “builders” in my reading list. Maybe build a small side project this weekend to learn something new?

[blog] Increasing transparency in AI security. Don’t let the boring title fool you; this is a post you should read. I like the point of applying the same rigor of the software supply chain to the ML supply chain. Protect yourself!

[blog] Salesforce Code Builder Is Now Generally Available. Developers of all kinds should have nice things. If you build Salesforce apps, it looks like your toolchain just got better.

[blog] Develop a FlutterFlow App powered by Vertex AI PaLM 2 Integration. This post caused me deep-dive into FlutterFlow for a few minutes, and I’m impressed. Building good-looking apps that invoke AI models isn’t nearly as hard as it was a year ago.

[article] Closure: Is Open Source Licensing Suddenly Unsustainable? Long piece, but interesting look at a few dimensions (including “legal”) related to Hashicorp’s recent licensing change for Terraform.

[blog] The power of “yes.” Brian reminds us that saying “yes” is good. While it’s smart to know when to say “no”, defaulting to “yes” can open up many opportunities for good things.

[blog] Serverless data ingestion from Google Sheets to BigQuery using Google Cloud Function. Yesterday, we talked about another swing at private clouds. Until you’re serving up something like this on-premises, you don’t have a cloud. Rather, you have conveniently automated hardware.

[article] What Forrester expects CIOs will encounter in 2024. We’re entering prediction season! Now’s the time when analyst firms and courageous individuals make their bets for the year ahead.

[podcast] Key findings from the 2023 State of DevOps Report | Nathen Harvey (DORA at Google). I learn something new every time I talk to (or listen to) Nathen. Great episode here.

[blog] Revolutionizing Real-Time Streaming Processing: 4 Trillion Events Daily at LinkedIn. Apache Beam forms the foundation of a lot of stream processing at LinkedIn, and this post walks through what they’ve done and the impressive outcomes they’ve achieved.
