I spent time at the beach here in San Diego this weekend and it was a nice getaway. Back to it today, and there’s a whole stash of interesting things to read.
[article] The clouds can’t afford to forget developers. The spending power of developers is overstated, but the adoption power of developers is under-reported. Who cares what the CIO buys if no one uses it? Devs are where adoption happens, or doesn’t.
[blog] Kubeflow Pipelines v2: Making ML pipelines easier, faster, and more scalable. Use managed products where you can, but sometimes you want to run a platform yourself. In this case, if your ML platform runs on Kubernetes, you might be using Kubeflow.
[article] 10 Beliefs That Get in the Way of Organizational Change. Great list. We’ll likely never talk about it publicly, but if Google had fallen victim to these beliefs twelve months ago regarding generative AI, we’d be up a creek.
[blog] Meet Gen AI Navigator: Your personalized guide to adopting generative AI. This is a cool little experience that helps you decide the right next step for your generative AI journey. And, if you need to slow down or speed up!
[blog] Why Building a Platform May Not Be Your Best Bet—Exploring Five Critical Reasons. Build differentiation, buy commodities. If building a platform from the ground up will give you a clear competitive advantage, go for it. That seems to rarely be the case.
[blog] Voyager probes get virtual tune-up to keep decades-long missions going and going. Our devices seem to go stale in a couple of years, but this 40+ year old piece of hardware that’s billions of miles from Earth? Still getting updates.
[blog] This Is How To Overcome Fear: 4 Secrets From Research. It’s natural to feel fear. But you can also be frozen by it. This post has good advice for handling it better.
[article] How the U.S. Postal Service is doing cloud ‘right’. Those Gartner Magic Quadrants matter! But so does a team of quality architects, value stream thinking, and a focus on built-for-cloud, not lift-and-shift.
[blog] Kubernetes And Kernel Panics. Good post from the Netflix team. And I like seeing Google’s Spanner paper inspiring some of the work.
[blog] Spring Boot, Generative AI and Google Cloud: Pose Generator!. I don’t want to train a bunch of models; I want to use pre-trained models in my apps. That’s what this demonstrates.
[article] The top 20 admin passwords will have you facepalming hard. I can’t believe this is a 2023 article. How are we still doing admin/admin as username/password combos?
