Next Gen Application Delivery: Getting Started with Intelligent Apps Powered by AI - “Our numbers show that 65% of all enterprise developers use Java, making it essential for business-critical applications. Development frameworks, like Spring AI, enable Java developers to interact with AI models and vector databases through the framework, rather than having to learn new skills."
15 hours a week - ‘And yet, for most of that time, I’ve continued to find that exertion harder to exercise than most, while my flair and ability have gained me attention and love, I’ve seen less of whatever today’s equivalent is of “a satisfactory grade in the public examinations”'
Kubernetes getting better at speeding up development - State of Kubernetes survey, 2024
Survey says…Kubernetes getting out of appdev improvement slump
This is the chart I look forward to in our annual State of Kubernetes report1:
It’s been a rocky few years as Kubernetes has gone mainstream. I pay attention to the “shortened software development cycles,” which you can see started going down. It’s been going up for the past two years, so that’s good. As more “normals” start using Kubernetes, the tolerance the early adopters have erodes.
GenAI or Die - Big time pro AI for ERP here, with notes of “what’s ERP done for me lately."
The “Little Tech Agenda” is Just Self-Serving Nonsense - FTC: “Your therapy bots aren’t licensed psychologists, your AI girlfriends are neither girls nor friends, your griefbots have no soul, and your AI copilots are not gods. We’ve warned companies about making false or unsubstantiated claims about AI or algorithms. And we’ve followed up with actions”
CIOs resist vendor-led AI hype, seeking out transparency - There’s a lot of AI de-hyping now. First, you have the “they’re stealing our IP” stuff. Second, you have the “no one has come up with (enterprise) apps for it yet” sentiment. Thankfully, there’s no “AI will kill us” vibing.
Measuring the impact of Developer Relations on Revenue - Figure out how to gather leads, and figure out how to get attribution in the sales pipeline. The second is difficult, especially if your company is already bad at it. But, it’s important to figure out.
Are platforms pointless? - ‘So much of “platform engineering” treats the application process itself as the main event. Sure, great, you make it easy for me to run hundreds of Nginx’s with whatever-the-fuck behind them, and restart and blue-green deploy and autoscale. Great. That’s not my performance bottleneck.’ // He says: (1) It’s just a way to avoid Terraform, and, (2) database management is a more important problem.
There's a lot of private cloud out there
…right?I’ve been looking around for estimates on how many custom written apps run on private vs. public cloud. There’s a lot of coverage and estimates of people using multiple clouds, but finding breakouts is tough. IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND! Here’s what I’ve found recently:
"According to Forrester’s Infrastructure Cloud Survey in 2023, 79% of roughly 1,300 enterprise cloud decision-makers surveyed said their firms are implementing internal private clouds.” Here.
