Daily Reading List – August 4, 2023 (#136)

Quiet reading day as I churned through some writing activities and cleared off my to-do list. Have a great weekend!

[article] Exploring Generative AI. This post has a short but useful look at when in-line coding assistance gets in the way of your work.

[article] The Value of Digital Transformation. The Harvard Biz Review article has some data and perspectives about digital leaders outperforming laggards in their business goals.

[blog] SQL only LLM for Text Generation using Vertex AI model in BigQuery. Summarization is such a powerful generative AI use case. This post shows you how you could summarize GitHub repo contents at scale, without writing any code.

[article] How Red Hat’s License Change Is Reinvigorating Enterprise Linux Distros. I get where Red Hat is coming from in all this. But I’m not sure the customer wins when we have even more fragmentation in Linux land.

[blog] How to Read: Lots of Inputs and a Strong Filter. This is probably right, but I don’t want to do it this way. I finish every book I start. That’s dumb, but I like closure.

[blog] Supporting Teams with Different Maturity Levels. How is your platform team thinking about supporting the diverse range of skills in your dev population? Good post.
