Another good day in Sunnyvale for a continuation of an offsite, and a couple of presentations to customers. Today&#8217;s reading list has a lot of AI, but also a mix of other topics. Enjoy!

[blog] <a href="https://blog.research.google/2024/03/screenai-visual-language-model-for-ui.html">ScreenAI: A visual language model for UI and visually-situated language understanding</a>. Very cool research. A model that&#8217;s trained on UI layouts and infographics could really help with converting manual tasks to autonomous ones in the future.

[blog] <a href="https://blog.jetbrains.com/teamcity/2024/03/meet-teamcity-pipelines/">Make CI/CD Part of Your Development Flow With TeamCity Pipelines</a>. JetBrains offers a mature CI/CD product, and it&#8217;s great that they&#8217;ve introduced a new flavor that looks like an &#8220;easy button&#8221; for deployment pipelines.

[paper] <a href="https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/so/2024/02/10445159/1URb85tSMOA">Developer Productivity for Humans, Part 8: Creativity in Software Engineering</a>. What does it mean to be a creative developer? This research explores that question and finds a few categories to work with.

[blog] <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/the-benefits-of-using-gke-for-running-ray-ai-workloads/">Why GKE for your Ray AI workloads? Portability, scalability, manageability, cost</a>. When folks complain about Kubernetes complexity, the first question should be &#8220;compared to what?&#8221; This post was a good example of where Kubernetes seems to make something simpler.

[blog] <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/using-kuberay-and-kueue-to-orchestrate-ray-applications-in-gke/">Advanced scheduling for AI/ML with Ray and Kueue</a>. Speaking of Ray, if you&#8217;re running it on Kubernetes, you&#8217;re probably using KubeRay. Which means you might be integrating with Kueue. Read about both here.

[article] <a href="https://hbr.org/2024/03/is-your-ai-first-strategy-causing-more-problems-than-its-solving">Is Your AI-First Strategy Causing More Problems Than It’s Solving?</a> I feel the same way about &#8220;AI first&#8221; as I do about &#8220;every company is a software company.&#8221; Neither are right. Your business goal should be delivering the best, most differentiated product or service. Use AI, don&#8217;t use AI, whatever. AI and software are &#8220;how&#8221;, not &#8220;why&#8221; or even &#8220;what.&#8221;

[blog] <a href="https://www.telerik.com/blogs/how-does-angular-compare-to-jquery">How Does Angular Compare to jQuery?</a> I found this helpful, specifically for the tutorial-style explanation of the two technologies.

[blog] <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/how-to-improve-resilience-to-ddos-attacks-with-cloud-armor-advanced-rate-limiting-capabilities/">How to improve resilience to DDoS attacks with Cloud Armor Advanced rate limiting capabilities</a>. It feels somewhat amazing that you can protect yourself against the absolute worst DDoS attack imaginable by running a single CLI command.

[article] <a href="https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-ai-developer/">Is the “AI developer”a threat to jobs – or a marketing stunt?</a> Is the recently announced Devin product (see <a href="https://shiftmag.dev/meet-devin-the-ai-software-engineer-2949/">one take here</a>) more about positioning around Copilot than actually doing something new? Gergely takes a look.

[article] <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/3714282/getting-cozy-with-javas-new-softer-side.html">Getting cozy with Java&#8217;s new, softer side</a>. These are good updates that make Java feel simpler and easier to use.

[article] <a href="https://devops.com/jfrog-survey-surfaces-raft-of-devsecops-challenges/">JFrog Survey Surfaces Raft of DevSecOps Challenges</a>. I don&#8217;t know if these numbers are bad because I don&#8217;t know what &#8220;good&#8221; necessarily looks like. But, if this looks like your company, maybe you&#8217;ll feel better?
