[article] Tech Works: When Should Engineers Use Generative AI? Good piece. Be aware of what you’re doing. But I do suspect that many of these underlying concerns about generative AI results will (a) fade as products improve and (b) not matter as the value outweighs the cost.
[youtube-video] Cloud Functions local debugging. It used to be tough to build and debug serverless functions anywhere but in the cloud. Not any more. Local dev and debugging is easier now.
[blog] Spring Boot, a persistent ORM and a consistent Database! Very good example from Abi that shows some end-to-end work connecting a Java app to a database and deploying to a serverless runtime.
[blog] Creating kids stories with Generative AI. Here’s a good use of AI! Generate bed time stories. We’re probably only a step or two away from generating mission statements, annual goals, and quarterly reports.
