It was a good day of starting up my weekly (internal) newsletter for the year, catching up on doc reviews and email requests, and scoping out some coding projects for the weekend.
[blog] Continuous Delivery for GKE with Cloud Deploy and Argo CD. Great example of combining the control flow of a continuous delivery tool, with the scaled and structured process of GitOps.
[blog] Enterprise Architects: From Cartographers to Scouts. What does it mean for architects to switch their mindset and work from being cartographers (mapping out the space) to scouts (finding paths)?
[article] Generative AI in Government: What to Expect in 2025. Good piece that stays grounded on what matters most: better service for constituents.
[article] Are You Checked Out at Work? I like that this article isn’t about why you’re checked out. It’s about how to get yourself re-engaged.
[article] Tech Outage. I’m with Bob here. It’s easy to throw screens at our kids, especially in public settings. But we’re better off resisting the urge. I’m taking my kids out for dinner tonight, and they bring coloring books and action figures for us to play with.
[article] Rumors of SaaS’s death may be exaggerated. Are AI agents going to make database-driven SaaS (Salesforce, etc) unnecessary? Color me skeptical.
[blog] How to work with open source formats on BigQuery. A good data warehouse will play with a variety of data and table formats. I thought this was a good look at what the means in practice.
[blog] Design Patterns for Building Resilient Systems. Nothing Earth-shattering here, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t important info to refresh yourself with.
