I’m in Sunnyvale today and had some terrific meetings. Probably because I just finished reading Death by Meeting and am focused on making my meetings more engaging and impactful. It’s a quick read, and I highly recommend it.
\n\n\n\n[article] Three methods for measuring GenAI adoption and impact. This is good for answering the “how”, assuming you’ve answered the “what” and “why” already. Use telemetry, experience sampling, and surveys to collect data to answer your questions.
\n\n\n\n[blog] Dive deeper into Gemini with BigQuery and Vertex AI. I like that you can invoke models inline using SQL commands. This simplifies your architecture and makes ML more approachable.
\n\n\n\n[article] Finally, Platform Engineering for Enterprise Cloud Migration. My former CEO at Pivotal is back with a company doing very interesting work modernizing mainframe systems. This was an excellent piece about why these efforts typically fail today, and how there’s a better way.
\n\n\n\n[article] Two Years of Incidents at Six Different Companies: How a Culture of Resilience Can Help You Accomplish Your Goals. Really good talk from Vanessa that educates us on incidents, how to respond effectively, and some anti-patterns to avoid.
\n\n\n\n[blog] Tune in for Google I/O on May 14. Might be worth marking your calendar for this event where we share new hardware, services, and tech innovations each year.
\n\n\n\n[article] After Thursday’s flight, Starship is already the most revolutionary rocket ever built. There are times where it can feel like human civilization doesn’t create amazing physical things any more, and then I get inspired by pieces like this.
\n\n\n\n[article] Open source is not insecure. Dan explains that OSS itself improves your security posture, but we need to rethink how we package, sign, verify, and distribute OSS.
\n\n\n\n[article] Microsoft joins AWS, Google Cloud on path to free data egress. We started a trend! Microsoft followed our lead and ensures you can leave a cloud provider with fewer punitive costs.
\n\n\n\n[blog] Open Release of Grok-1. Access the weights and architecture of this model. It already has an impressive number of forks and stars on GitHub.
\n\n\n\n[blog] The evolution of play: From live to living games. I’m not sure we understand all the implications of this, but AI should definitely make games and gameplay more interesting!
\n\n\n\n[blog] To Perform Under Pressure, Shift Your Perspective. I enjoyed Steve’s book (Do Hard Things) and this idea about perspective is an important one.
