Daily Reading List – November 22, 2023 (#210)

Had a quiet day clearing out my inbox and having a few meetings ahead of the upcoming US holiday. I’ll be taking Thursday and Friday off from the daily reading list, but should be back on Monday the 27th!

[blog] Broadcom announces successful acquisition of VMware. Thus ends a very long acquisition process for my friends at VMware. I hope this proves to be a great pairing.

[blog] Integrating langchain4j and PaLM 2 Text Bison Model. Soon, we’re going to see even easier abstractions for talking to LLMs. Don’t wait for that. Learn the “harder way” now (which actually isn’t too hard!) to understand the fundamentals, and then enjoy the simplicity that’s coming.

[blog] gRPC vs. REST. Both are good choices for service communication in your app architecture. Read this to understand the differences.

[blog] Debugging Your Go Applications. When you can successfully troubleshoot a technology, that’s when you really know it! This is a good look at aspects of troubleshooting a Go app.

[blog] Adding runtime threat detection to Google Kubernetes Engine with Falco. AI stuff seems to drown everything else out, but there’s tons of other software out there that deserves attention. Especially security-related software, as Mike shows off here.

[article] Google Says You Might Be Doing DORA Metrics Wrong. This article goes deep into the DORA program, what it means to measure performance, whether engineers understand the DORA metrics, and more.
