Good day. For you too? It’s a holiday weekend here in the States, so I’ll be off on Monday. The Reading List returns on Tuesday.
[blog] Why Aren’t People Going to Local and Regional In-Person Events Anymore? We each see different things. In my recent experience, we’re turning people away by the hundreds for local events. Relevant topics have changed, formats are different, and communities don’t stay the same.
[article] From Black Box to Blueprint. Can you reverse engineer a system with the help of AI and use that insight to build a modernization blueprint? Thoughtworks shares their experience doing just that.
[blog] Happy birthday, GKE! Let’s celebrate with new features and better pricing. Our kid is growing up. The world’s best Kubernetes offering has simpler pricing (paid stuff is now free, and other aspects are add-ons versus entirely new service tier).
[blog] Do the simplest thing that could possibly work. I think we all know this, but it’s hard to do. We want to predict the future and build solutions, platforms, and structures that suit our expectations of what’s coming next.
[blog] Simplify complex eventing at Scale with Eventarc Advanced. I haven’t seen a new type of messaging engine in a LONG time. But here we have a new message bus based on Envoy. I’m going to dig into it this weekend.
[article] Fastly: Senior Devs Ship 2.5x More AI Code Than Juniors. Does extra debugging of all this extra code negate the time savings? This says maybe, but I think it’s TBD.
[blog] Five ways Skopeo can simplify your Google Cloud container workflow. Never heard of it, but I’m glad I know about it now. This looks like a very strong alternative to using the Docker daemon in certain settings.
[article] AI Contrarians on the Problems With Vibe Coding. It’s ok to be contrarian. I’ve been using these tools a fair bit, and have learned that it’s not all or nothing. With the right expectations, and using the right tool for the job, it’s objectively better.
[article] Legacy tech is hard to kill. Yes it is. Much easier to just add new fancy stop on top and leave the lower layers for the next sucker.
[blog] No More Coders? You Still Need DevOps. Andrew doesn’t believe that coders are going away, but execs who are hedging their bets might be de-emphasizing platform investments. Don’t do that.
[article] Evolving Kubernetes for generative AI inference. You can run AI workloads many ways, and Kubernetes has turned into quite a good option.
