Hopefully you learned something new this week. If not, find an item or two below that scratches that itch, even if it’s not a topic area you usually study. Have a great weekend!

[blog] The Written Word. Terrific little post about the art of writing well. It takes practice, and most of us aren’t practicing enough!

[blog] Top 10 Google Cloud Resources to bookmark for learning. If you want to casually or seriously pick up some knowledge about Google Cloud, these are good places to start.

[blog] DataStax takes aim at event driven AI with open source LangStream project. As you can imagine, there are gobs of new projects emerging to help folks build generative AI apps. Here’s one to watch.

[blog] Cloud Storage announcements at Next ‘23: a recap. I honestly didn’t catch all these updates at the time. It’s a good mix of performance, functional, and manageability capabilities.

[blog] Deploy to Cloud Run with GitHub Actions. Here’s a good demo for those that like serverless computing and continuously shipping software.
