Check out the latest in our "Debuggability" blog series! This blog is authored by Kevin Downey Jason Johl and me and talks about how we built a Debuggability Paved Road at Intuit using Ephemeral Containers and Argo Workflows. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic. Also, what tools do you build as-a-platform to help debug service, compute and network issues in Kubernetes at scale? #intuit #kubernetes #debug

While there are certainly individual variations in skill and experience when discussing modern software development the story is much more nuanced than pure individual effort.  * software development is a team sport -- individual performance is heavily impacted by the system in which they are asked to operate in.  * we pair skill and experience to this model of understanding performance by expecting people to be able to influence and adapt in direct proportion to their seniority, aka the more senior you are the more responsible you are for the outcomes of your work, the less senior you are the more your manager and management chain are responsible.  * humans want to succeed, we're social animals who derive purpose from demonstrating skill, and working collectively. All of which is to say there is no way you have over 1000 people underperforming at your company without senior leadership deeply implicated in.  If nearly 10% of your company is failing, versus just having the market move against you, you need to fire the CEO.

A super clear, straight forward example of how to do cost effective RAG using LangChain for your document pipeline and Groq for compute resources. The code demonstrates how to speed up RAG and reduce costs using quantized embeddings (reducing 32 bit values to 8) Nice job Sahibpreet Singh! https://lnkd.in/gf5QMCKK

Your ability to adapt to changing conditions will be your super power. Being overly adapted to existing conditions makes survival questionable.

Scaling Memcache at Facebook. In this video, we walk through the 2010 research paper "Scaling Memcache at Facebook." This paper has been very influential in companies building distributed caching systems. For example, Uber and Twitter have caching systems inspired by Memcache. The requirements of Memcache were: 1. Easy adoption, minimal APIs 2. Low Latency 3. Very High Availability (without sacrificing too much on consistency) 4. Large globally distributed system The design choices of Memcache are influenced by the above, as we will see in this video. Video: https://lnkd.in/d5kPu9UY #SystemDesign #Caches #ResearchPaper

We shared how the new Jellyfish API is unlocking endless possibilities for engineering teams. But what does it actually look like in action? We paired it with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Q Business, a GenAI Assistant, to test its potential. The result? Faster API utilization, natural language insights, and streamlined workflows. Ready to explore what’s possible? Check out the blog for all the details. ⬇️

Hey everyone, I am an investor and advisor to Katanemo.... They are reinventing the infrastructure primitives for GenAI and launched Arch - https://lnkd.in/gCrbbkEV - an intelligent prompt gateway. Give the project a look on Github, and star the project if it resonates

🌟 Reflecting on a Memorable Experience 🌟 A while back, I had the unique opportunity to provide crucial advice to the CTO at a mid-sized software development company. They were seeking feedback on fostering collaboration between sub-businesses and sharing best practices across the organization. The differing leadership styles among their direct reports had been a barrier, and I knew addressing this issue would require careful navigation. Initially, I suggested a casual lunch meeting at a favorite Italian restaurant. However, the executive declined due to a garlic allergy and preferred to meet in their office. I was aware of the rumors about the executive's difficult demeanor and previous conflicts, including a significant issue with an employee displaying a crucifix in their cubicle. These factors added to my apprehension. During our meeting, I took a collaborative approach to present the issue. Instead of pointing fingers or placing blame, I highlighted the importance of aligning leadership styles to drive effective collaboration. I shared examples of successful cross-organizational initiatives from other companies, emphasizing how consistent leadership could foster a more cohesive and innovative environment. By focusing on shared goals and the potential benefits of unified leadership, I aimed to build consensus and encourage a collective effort towards improvement. The CTO listened intently and engaged in the discussion, asking insightful questions and offering their perspective. Our conversation gradually shifted from identifying the problem to brainstorming actionable solutions. This approach not only eased the tension but also paved the way for a productive dialogue on how to implement best practices across the organization. During our conversation, I noticed a blood donation poster prominently displayed in the CTO's office. Suddenly, everything clicked - the CTO was a Dracula. Understanding the gravity of the situation, I acted decisively, snapping a leg off of the wooden chair I had been seated on, and using a stapler to hammer it into the executive's heart, sending the demon back to the hell from which it came. The CTO let out a terrifying screech, and within moments, their body disintegrated into a pile of ashes. The room fell silent, and I knew I had done what was necessary to protect the company and its employees. This experience underscored the importance of cohesive leadership styles. Aligning leadership approaches is essential to fostering a collaborative and innovative environment, allowing teams to work together effectively towards shared goals. By ensuring consistency in leadership, we can drive positive outcomes even in the most unforeseen circumstances 💪🌟. #Leadership #Collaboration #Teamwork #Adaptability #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment
