Daily Reading List – May 28, 2025 (#561)

I ended up doing more coding than reading today, which hasn’t happened in a while. I’m building some agent demos for upcoming presentations, and had fun getting things to work.

[blog] Making AI Work: Leadership, Lab, and Crowd. i’m calling it. This will be the best thing I read this week. Ethan looks at why individual performance improvements with AI won’t make a difference without a bigger organizational change.

[blog] Things you never dared to ask about LLMs — Take 2. You’ll finish this blog (with embedded slides and video) much smarter about LLMs.

[blog] Introducing TCQ, Forrester’s Technology Change Quotient. How ready is your company to adapt to fast-changing technology changes? The analysts at Forrester Research came up with a new measurement that looks useful.

[blog] Cloud Service Mesh in 2025 — global control, zero pain upgrades. The service mesh has gotten much simpler (and more invisible) over the past five years. It’s worth another look if you dismissed it years ago.

[article] The Era of the Product Creator. Do you have the title of product manager but find yourself transferring feature requests to a backlog and coordinating releases? That’s a risky long term career bet.

[blog] Announcing LMEval: An Open Source Framework for Cross-Model Evaluation. This looks helpful. You’ll want to have some strong team skills around evals.

[blog] Leveraging AI for incident response: Personalized Service Health integrated with Gemini Cloud Assist. Does AI replace operational work? No, but it sure makes it easier. I like the ability to have a contextual AI chat that understands the current state of the cloud, and my systems in it.
