As you read through today&#8217;s list, you&#8217;ll find advice on which tech you should explore (or skip), how to think about supply chain security, and get some ideas on AI patterns.

[site] <a href="https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar">Thoughtworks Technology Radar: Volume 30</a>. This is always one of my favorite tech assessments to read. It&#8217;s worth your time to see what hot (and not) in techniques, platforms, tools, and programming languages. <a href="https://www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/technology-strategy/macro-trends-tech-industry-april-2024">Blog post on the trends in this report</a>.

[article] <a href="https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/02/github-besieged-by-millions-of-malicious-repositories-in-ongoing-attack/">GitHub besieged by millions of malicious repositories in ongoing attack</a>. That&#8217;s scary. Be extra diligent when visiting repos to ensure you&#8217;re using the &#8220;real&#8221; ones.

[blog] <a href="https://jeremydmiller.com/2024/04/01/thoughts-on-modular-monoliths/">Thoughts on “Modular Monoliths.”</a> Jeremy is rightfully skeptical of whether a modular monolith is the same mess with a fancier name.

[blog] <a href="https://insights.sei.cmu.edu/blog/applying-large-language-models-to-dod-software-acquisition-an-initial-experiment/">Applying Large Language Models to DoD Software Acquisition: An Initial Experiment</a>. Can you use LLMs to make the request for proposal/information process easier? Document summarization seems like a valid use case here.

[blog] <a href="https://lakshmanok.medium.com/generative-ai-design-patterns-8eb1d937fccc">Generative AI Design Patterns</a>. I wouldn&#8217;t trust much labeled as &#8220;best practice&#8221; when it comes to generative AI. It&#8217;s too early. Instead, Lak is documenting gen AI patterns as they emerge.

[blog] <a href="https://opensource.googleblog.com/2024/04/osv-and-helping-developers-fix-known-vulnerabilities.html">OSV and helping developers fix known vulnerabilities</a>. Add vulnerability scanning into your CI pipeline, and use this tool to remediate vulnerabilities in your code.

[article] <a href="https://hbr.org/2024/04/ceos-is-your-business-strategy-bold-enough">CEOs, Is Your Business Strategy Bold Enough?</a> It&#8217;s easy to say &#8220;be bolder&#8221; when you&#8217;re on the outside and don&#8217;t deal with the day-to-day challenges and conflict. That said, be bolder.

[blog] <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/introducing-gke-autopilot-burstable-workloads/?e=48754805">GKE Autopilot mode gets burstable workloads and smaller Pod sizes</a>. Using GKE in Autopilot mode isn&#8217;t bold; it&#8217;s just smart. Now you can create burstable workloads and have tiny pods for more dense clusters.

[article] <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/its-time-my-next-chapter-aaron-skonnard-jcgvc/">It’s Time for My Next Chapter</a>. Job well done, Aaron, building Pluralsight into such a valuable and useful service for so many people.

[blog] <a href="https://engineering.atspotify.com/2024/04/data-platform-explained/">Data Platform Explained</a>. Here&#8217;s Spotify&#8217;s take on data platforms and how theirs has evolved.

[blog] <a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/tensorflow-guide/">What is TensorFlow?</a> There are a few different machine learning frameworks that folks should be familiar with, and TensorFlow is one of them.
