Are you good about taking a proper lunch hour? I&#8217;m hit or miss. Today was a ten minute lunch and I struggle to remember what I ate. Take care of yourself and eat food. At least I still was able to squeeze in some excellent blogs and articles today!

[blog] <a href="https://daleonai.com/bigcontextwindows">Big Context Windows Are a Big Deal</a>. Best post of the day, no doubt. Dale writes an inspiring and engaging post about why Gemini&#8217;s context window is such a game changer.

[article] <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/21/redis-switches-licenses-acquires-speedb-to-go-beyond-its-core-in-memory-database/">Redis switches licenses, acquires Speedb to go beyond its core in-memory database</a>. Not surprising, but it&#8217;s definitely clear that the OSS landscape has changed! Here&#8217;s more from Redis on <a href="https://redis.com/blog/the-future-of-redis/">their future</a>.

[article] <a href="https://martinfowler.com/articles/measuring-developer-productivity-humans.html#HowToCaptureQualitativeMetrics">How to capture qualitative metrics</a>. This is a continuation of a previously-shared article and it explores details on actually acquiring data for qualitative studies.

[blog] <a href="https://www.forrester.com/blogs/unleashing-the-power-of-turingbots-g-researchs-journey-to-transform-software-development-generative-ai-ai/">How G-Research Used TuringBots To Transform Software Development</a>. Quick post from Diego at Forrester, but he&#8217;s been on this AI-assisted dev tool topic for a while now and has good insights.

[article] <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/3714763/ai-used-extensively-for-security-but-not-for-coding-jfrog-survey-finds.html">AI used extensively for security but not for coding, JFrog survey finds</a>. Interesting results, likely skewed based on who is asking the questions. But, it&#8217;s good to get insights into the security toolchain story.

[blog] <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/customers/how-commerzbank-safeguards-its-data-with-vpc-service-controls/">How Commerzbank safeguards its data with VPC Service Controls</a>. Surprisingly deep post. However you create isolation perimeters around cloud resources and networks, hopefully you have something like VPC-SC available to you.

[guide] <a href="https://cloud.google.com/architecture/ai-ml/storage-for-ai-ml">Design storage for AI and ML workloads in Google Cloud</a>. This is an excellent guide for choosing the right type of storage for each stage of an AI/ML workload. Its concepts apply regardless of where you train and run.

[blog] <a href="https://www.infoq.com/articles/leading-team-software-engineer">Leading tech people or staying a software engineer: What to choose? Panel Discussion</a>. Most techies have this mental argument with themselves at SOME point in their career: stay as an individual contributor, or get into management?

[article] <a href="https://lifehacker.com/work/how-to-use-the-flow-state">Use the Eight Elements of the ‘Flow State’ to Be More Productive</a>. I think we all know (and crave) that feeling of being in a flow state. In the zone. Here&#8217;s more about that.

[blog] <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/data-analytics/bigquery-sql-gets-time-windowing-and-gap-filling/">Introducing new BigQuery features to simplify time-series data analysis</a>. BigQuery is great at structured data, unstructured data, and everything in between.
