Users engage with only 6% of product features: Product benchmark findings - ”We found that even the best product teams are focusing on features that aren’t being used by their end users. While 6.4% of features are driving 80% of clicks, almost 94% of features are untouched and ignored.”
Workers have AI confidence — but no training to back it up, survey shows - ”Nearly two-thirds of leaders said AI is “fully implemented” across their organizations, while only 36% of workers agreed. Additionally, 60% of leaders say they are ahead of their competitors in AI maturity, while only 46% of workers agreed.”
Fake Software Defined Talk #487
The Deep Dive crew does their version of a Software Defined Talk episode.
"Make content about what you're curious about, not what you know."
Our new podcast is out, Software Defined Interviews, with me and Whitney Lee.
For the first episode, I interview Whitney. I’ve known her and worked with her now for, I don’t know, three years? She’s so great to talk with and so smart on all the cloud native stuff. In our episode, we go over her background, of course, but also plenty of “how you work” type stuff. For you nerds out there, we also talk about the evolution of the Kubernetes community and why security is always such a pain in the ass.
Croissant - Good looking cross posting app for Mastodon, BlueSky, and Threads. Adding in Shortcut support would be awesome.
Shambles, But Make It Digital - School IT is a mess. As with enterprise IT, I bet it could be better by just choosing one platform, no matter the compromises. My kids have three or four systems (ManageBac, Google Classrooms, also email). They haven learned the corporate skills of keeping up with all of this, and it shows. If the school had a semester long course on “office work,” it might be OK, but they don’t.
The flavor is a little...spare
I’d heard that the NotebookLM feature that creates podcasts was cool, but it’s wild! I’ve used it several times now. Here, you can listen to its summary of my chip tasting shorts. These are 60 second videos where my daughters and I try different chips - like foie gras, holiday stuffing, or just BBQ. You just give it some stuff and it comes up with a male host and female host doing a two people talking podcast.
Deep Dive: Digital WTF book discussion
The Deep Dive crew discuss my book, Digital WTF. This is a collection of columns I wrote for The Registerbetween 2014 to 2018. This one is 32 minutes, which gives a lot of time to see the weird things - strange noises they make, repeated phrases and talking patterns. In the producer notes, I asked them to do a scat intro, but they didn’t manage it. Maybe next time!
RTO or GFTO - RTO is like a dress code.
Deep Dive - Five Years of State of Kubernetes Surveys
I ask the NotebookML Deep Dive crew to comment on the past five years of our State of Kubernetes Surveys. Check out one of blog posts on our most recent survey.
