Daily Reading List – November 17, 2023 (#207)

I spent today digging out of a week of email and chats, so it was a light reading day. But check out a few nuggets below.

[article] Code quality: Is this indicator of a well-run software business going overlooked by investors? Is there one measure that tells you that a team has a good culture or ships good products? No. But there are plenty of clues.

[article] DeepMind and YouTube release Lyria, a gen-AI model for music, and Dream Track to build AI tunes. Wild stuff. The impact of AI on the creative arts will be noticeable.

[blog] Early Registration Now Open for Google Cloud Next ’24 (April 9-11) in Las Vegas. Bigger, more technical, and deeper engagement than our terrific 2023 event. See you there?

[article] 5 tech execs share how they use generative AI at work. It’s good to hear from users, not just vendors. These look good good examples of where generative AI adds value.

[blog] Demystifying Cloud Pricing. I haven’t seen these topics covered before. Read this post to learn more about what “price” means in the cloud, and some of the different pricing models you’ll encounter.

[blog] Exsssspanding Possibilities with Python. I’m hoping to spend some quality time with Firebase this weekend, so it’s cool to see that JavaScript support is now complemented with Python support.
