“GenAI can help you write talk proposals, but if you use it without injecting your own curiosity and humanness, reviewers can tell. Here’s the process I use to shape real, human abstracts that reflect my curiosity and experience. I developed this process for technical talks, but it adapts well to other formats too.” From Whitney.
VMware Explore and SpringOne Highlights from the Tanzu Division’s Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Strohmeyer - Tanzu - ”I think explaining to our customers the movement of all the Kubernetes resources into VCF was important in positioning VCF as a complete infrastructure solution and then having clarity that Tanzu Platform is a true, pre-engineered Platform as a Service (PaaS) based on Cloud Foundry. I think some customers were not aware of that change, and appreciate the power of simplicity with CF and how we are continuing to invest in that proven technology with Tanzu Platform 10.3.

6 NotebookLM features to help students learn - Just in time for school!
Platform engineering is about more than what’s going on Backstage - An internal developer platform is a lot of work, not just installing the UI layer. // Also, check out the Syntaso people popping up!
Conflicting opinions on the ROI of AI - Yeah, it’s up in the air at the moment. I think we need to get a better handle on what use cases work. Is it just chat, code generation, and better search? What are the other apps?

Final thought on Australia - “Sydney, with its lush yards, immaculate beaches, stellar Asian food, and laid-back citizens, is a superior Los Angeles and might be my favorite large city in the world. Given that LA is my favorite large US city, it might be that I have a thing for sprawling suburban cities with Mediterranean climates, but I’m pretty sure, having talked to many other travelers with varied tastes, that it’s more about the quality of Sydney, and less about my own particular fetish."
