Change Starts Here
JULY 11, 2016
The rumors about change can start the instant it’s communicated. A cost management initiative is announced, and suddenly people start speculating to each other what the impact will be – we will lose perks, stop travel, or lose our jobs. A new strategy? The company is going under, and they’re just not telling us. A new system? Another department implemented it last month, and they hate it.

Self-directed learners, or autodidacts, possess the capability to chart their futures in ways that can give them an advantage over their less ambitious contemporaries. I should know, I am one! Back in the day, I didn’t have the Internet to support me. Yes, I did it the old fashioned way — I bought books and read them. It’s laughable by today’s standards, but, back in 1988, I spent countless hours in the New York City Library doing the research needed to complete my fir

Think well. Write well. Do well. Those three words distill S.C. Gwynne’s book jacket endorsement of Sebastian Junger’s newest book, Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging. Gwynne advises us to read Tribe for three reasons: “the clarity of (Junger’s) thought, the elegance of his prose, and the provocativeness of this chosen subject.”. As one who has written more than his fair share of book blurbs, I can attest that when it comes to insight I typically look inside a book rather than to its back jacket

Bob Gourley. Passive DNS has become one of the most powerful tools in the defenders arsenal.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Job descriptions for developer roles rarely tell you what they should. The whole point of them is to provide a candidate a description of what a position is like. I’ve looked at close to a thousand job descriptions and have helped write a few. Job description writers, including me, have a tendency to come up with something “safe”. We fill job descriptions with text that sounds great, but says nothing tangible.
