Daily Reading List – May 2, 2025 (#544)
Did you have a busy week? Most of us have a lot going on. Take a breather this weekend and make sure you do whatever recharges you!
[blog] Fine-tune an LLM: Why, when, and how. This can feel like an intimidating topic, but these folks have made a very readable guide to some key ideas.
[article] Mark Zuckerberg ‘predicts’ AI will write most of Meta’s code within 12 to 18 months. I dunno. A weird message for your engineers to hear!
[article] Gateway API or Ingress: A Developer’s Guide to Kubernetes Routing. Relatively brief look at the classic Ingress option for Kubernetes versus the fairly new Gateway API.
[blog] When did your data REALLY arrive in BigQuery? Low-level topic, but I enjoyed the process of uncovering the answer.

[blog] CNCF and Synadia Align on Securing the Future of the NATS.io Project. I’m glad to see a resolution here so quickly.
[article] Redis Is Open Source Again. More on this. I don’t think it’s the same open license as before, and we’ll see if this changes anything, but still a positive move.
[blog] Vibe testing with Playwright. I like this testing tool, as we use it within my team as well. This post explores using MCP tools to produce some tests.

[blog] Two publishers and three authors fail to understand what “vibe coding” means. At least make sure you’re vibing correctly!
[blog] What’s new in IAM, Access Risk, and Cloud Governance. You might glaze over on this topic, but I encourage you to skim through and get a sense of what’s fresh in this space.
[blog] Streamline your LangChain deployments with Langserve on GCP. The CircleCI folks mashup some interesting technologies including their CI/CD platform.
