During these quick European trips, I never get used to how late these people eat dinner. But another good day here in Paris, with a chance to talk about developer experience, generative AI, and how Google does DevOps.
[blog] Which Kinds of Tests Should I Write? Revisited. I like the designation of “customer tests” (ways to prove value, such as functional tests), and “programmer tests” (code does what you want, using something like unit tests).
[blog] Writing a Good Conference Summary or Trip Report: DevRel Superpowers. Are you expected to write up a trip report after a conference or business trip? This post offers a good framing for tackling it.
[blog] static-server: an HTTP server in Go for static content. Sometimes you just need a simple server running so that you can test out a variety of use cases. Here’s the few lines it takes to get a Go server running.
[blog] Capslock: What is your code really capable of? Here’s a new tool from Google that analyzes your code (Go, for now) and tells you about privileged operations (such as network operations). I can imagine this being helpful before you check in code, or during CI pipelines.
[blog] Cloud CISO Perspectives: Early September 2023. This includes the usual parade of links, but also an intro that discusses a major upcoming security conference.
[blog] Backstage on GKE, Cloud Run, and Cloud SQL. Platform engineering folks and others like Backstage as a platform for building dev portals. It can be hard to use, so I like demos like this that show how to get it running in Kubernetes or serverless container environments.
[article] Exploring Generative AI. Is generative AI any different than classic code generators? Yes, yes it is.
[blog] Bard can now connect to your Google apps and services. This is a terrific update to our free-to-use, powerful generative AI chat experience. Use connectors, double-check answers, and share conversations with others.
[blog] Expanding our infrastructure around the world. Here, we get more specific on Google Cloud’s next locations, including Oslo, Athens, Aukland, and Querétaro.
