Daily Reading List – June 5, 2024 (#333)

Finished up another day of this offsite in Seattle, and am spending my evening building demos for a customer presentation tomorrow at 630am. It’s a glamorous life!

[article] How to Talk About What You Do (without Being Boring). Are you good at this? Do you have a crisp, conversation-starting way to describe your job?

[repo] Gemini UI to Code Streamlit App. Here’s a cool little Python app that converts UI designs into usable code.

[blog] Getting started with retrieval augmented generation on BigQuery with LangChain. Very cool writeup that shows off a few key technologies all at once. There’s also a link to a sample notebook to try yourself.

[article] GoFr: A Go Framework To Power Scalable and Observable Apps. Getting a web server running in Go isn’t very difficult. But frameworks like this (which is new to me) do more than that for devs building data-driven apps.

[blog] Building a Smart Retail Shopping Assistant PART 1. Abi wrote up a good piece that walks through a complete solution scenario.

[blog] 25 AI prompts to make product managers’ lives easier. I’d like to see more of this type of thing that shows prompt ideas or techniques that best serve different roles.

[blog] Empowered development: GitLab on Google Cloud for streamlined delivery and enhanced security. We announced this a month or so back, and now have more details about using an integrated GitLab on Google Cloud.

[article] 9 command-line jewels for your developer toolkit. I’d advise that you know at least the very basics of bash scripting and how to navigate around, edit files, and such. These are additional commands that are good to be aware of.

[blog] Phishing for Gold: Cyber Threats Facing the 2024 Paris Olympics. I found this to be a sobering look at the breadth and depth of attack faced by organizations.
