It\u2019s no secret that I\u2019m a fan, and I try not to read every article he writes. This week\u2019s post on <a href=\"https:\/\/randsinrepose.com\/archives\/the-seven-meetings-you-hate\/\">The Seven Meetings You Hate<\/a> is worth posting here anyway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I\u2019m one of those odd self-taught programmers, but I\u2019ve always enjoyed some of the algorithm metaphors that exist. I really enjoyed this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/enomem.substack.com\/p\/the-drinking-philosophers-problem\">The Drinking Philosophers Problem<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I learned about <a href=\"https:\/\/steampipe.io\/\">Steampipe<\/a> this week (select * from cloud;). Looks like a lot of fun, and something I\u2019m definitely going to be playing with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The internet (esp. linkedin) is full of people who haven\u2019t bothered learning anything about AI or LLMs dismissing it all as a toy or a fad. The rest of us, are playing catch up, and getting as much context as we can to understand how LLMs will advance software engineering. I thought this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbestechcouncil\/2023\/09\/26\/three-challenges-with-adopting-domain-specific-llms\">Challenges with Adopting Domain-Specific LLMs<\/a> had a lot of good thoughts and insights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I\u2019m way behind on podcast listening, but I just added The Geeking Out podcast based entirely on <a href=\"https:\/\/geekingoutpodcast.substack.com\/p\/the-one-where-we-geek-out-on-platform\">the interview with Hazel Weakly<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks again for reading, and hope you found something interesting. See you next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I\u2019ve fully recovered from my long walk.
