Ugh. The violence against innocent people here in the US this week has me shook up. I’d like to think we’re better than this. It’s inexcusable, and I do pray we collectively rediscover our ability to live life while remaining civil to those around us.
[blog] Automate app deployment and security analysis with new Gemini CLI extensions. This is awesome. Now it’s even easier to deploy apps built or changed with the Gemini CLI. And, to scan projects for security issues. I’m excited about this new extensions subsystem.
[article] Perl programming language rises again – Tiobe. Really? When you look at the data, it’s possible this is propped up by a burst in training or books, not necessarily new engineers. But either way, Perl lives.
[blog] Scaling high-performance inference cost-effectively. Lots of compelling data here for anyone looking to do (better) AI inference on their Kubernetes cluster.
[blog] How to harness skills that AI can’t automate. Nice post. I don’t really consider these “soft skills” either. They’re ones that you develop and hone.
[blog] Top Google Cloud Pub/Sub Tips & Tricks. Messaging middleware doesn’t get any glory, but it’s as important as most things in your architecture. Good advice here.
[blog] Cross-Cloud Streaming Pipeline: AWS Kinesis to GCP Pub/Sub. Two messaging posts in one day? Sure. I like that our bus natively connects to engines in AWS and Azure.
[article] 9 vital concepts of modern JavaScript. JavaScript is thirty years old, and it might be time for you (and me) to refresh the way we use it.
[article] Building Bridges: Deploy agents with A2A on Vertex AI Agent Engine. I read this to learn more about agent to agent systems and what a managed platform can do to make it easier to deploy/run them.
[article] Hugging Face Introduces AI Sheets, a No-Code Tool for Dataset Transformation. Is this the next area we’ll see a burst of options? Creating low-code/no-code apps that front generative AI models? We’ve got that Opal experiment out there too.
[blog] Agent Development with Gemini CLI. This post shows how you might take an existing codebase (even a “modern” one like an agent app) and have the agentic CLI help you understand and extend it.
[blog] Spring AI 1.1.0-M1 Available Now. This Java framework for AI app builders is shaping up nicely. Put it in your list of ones to evaluate if you’re building Java apps.
[blog] Investigate fast with AI: Gemini Cloud Assist for Dataproc & Serverless for Apache Spark. Troubleshooting distributed apps isn’t easy. Built-in AI assistance makes investigations into systems like Spark a bit easier.
