Today’s reading list is full of pieces where I said “that’s interesting” after finishing. I imagine that you’ll say the same thing after a few of these.
[article] Software Architecture in an AI World. Big post, but an important topic. I haven’t seen as much written on the impact of AI on software architecture practices.
[blog] Mistral AI’s Codestral launches as a service, first on Vertex AI. This is an excellent new open model, and it’s available as-a-service on Vertex AI. I tried it out today and was impressed.

[blog] Orchestrate Generative AI Applications. Can you coordinate a bunch of interacts with LLMs without ever writing a line of code? Yes, when you use no-code workflow engines like Cloud Workflows. I like this new integration with Vertex AI endpoints.
[blog] Is AWS Lambda a Halo Product? Are serverless products just shiny services that get you in the door to then buy the steady and dependable cloud infrastructure services? It’s likely revisionist history to say that Lambda was never intended to “win” or make money, but this is still a great argument.

[article] Is Vertical Slice Architecture better than Clean Architecture or Ports and Adapters? Derek takes another look at this architectural approach that focuses on features and capabilities, not independent layers of the stack.
[article] Hugging Face Transformers: Leverage Open-Source AI in Python. Learn how to work with models using the Transformers library from Hugging Face.
[blog] The Chronicles of Llama: The new Llama 405b on Vertex AI! it’s gotten easier to experiment with new tech. Use new models, new frameworks, and new cloud services without much setup.
[blog] Let’s talk about Developer Experience: The Spectrum of DX. This is a neat way to think about developer experiences, and what you should be aiming for.
