I traveled up to Seattle today for an offsite, so I got limited reading done. But, still some good ones in there!
[article] Unexpected Anti-Patterns for Engineering Leaders — Lessons From Stripe, Uber & Carta. Wow, this is great. These are legit “anti-patterns” that Will says you should actually embrace. All of these resonated with me.
[blog] Cloud CISO Perspectives: What the past year tells us about our cybersecurity future. I often see doom and gloom about security—recent hacks at Ticketmaster and Hugging Face come to mind—but a sub-heading here of “Attackers innovate, but defenders get better, too” gives me optimism.
[blog] Developer Experience: What not to do. Fair list. There’s logic behind doing each of these things, but companies need to recognize who in their audience those things are for. Often, not developers.
[blog] Gemini 1.5 Flash Outperforms Much More Expensive Models. A lot of the discussion on which model to choose focuses on benchmarks, which is reasonable. But I like this additional focus on cost as well.
[blog] How to Evaluate Video Performance in Developer Relations. Are you publishing videos yourself or through your company? How do you measure success? This post takes a look.
[blog] Vertical Slice Architecture: Structuring Vertical Slices. This pattern has been around a while, but I feel like I’m seeing more about it lately. I’m a fan of slicing through all the application layers and delivering value, versus building up stacks layer by layer.
[blog] AI Overviews: About last week. I thought this was a good response to the flare-up last week around goofy AI generated answers in Google search results.
