This is part one of a two-part series on how software engineers can share their knowledge by writing blog posts and other content for a technical audience. You can find part two here. Many of us engineers suffer from a common affliction: fear of writing. It often starts at school where we are told we don’t have a “gift for words.” This is nonsense. Writing is a craft, and the principles of it can be learned. There are several reasons why you might want to.

This is part two of a two-part series on how software engineers can share their knowledge by writing blog posts and other content for a technical audience. You can find part one here. If you’re writing for the internet, the only thing most people will read before deciding whether to click and read your article is the headline.

Prompt engineering is a critical aspect of leveraging the Gemini API for generating tailored and effective outputs from the language model. This practice involves designing and refining prompts to guide the LLM toward generating the desired content, whether for creative writing, coding, data analysis or any other application where natural language generation can be applied.

Reinventing with generative AI was the big topic of Adam Selipsky’s keynote at the AWS re:Invent conference at the end of last year. In his opening keynote Selipsky, CEO of Amazon Web Services (AWS), was laser-focused on how generative AI, based on large language models (LLMs), offers a “turbo boost” for developer productivity while at the same time enabling a never before seen degree of customization toward each individual customer.

Linux servers typically don’t tend to install with GUIs. A command line is faster. But when you have no GUIs to rely on, what do you do about passwords? Because this is Linux, there’s always a solution. In this case, the solution is pass, which is a text-based password manager that stores all of your entries in the PGP-encrypted text file, ~/.password-store.

Google Cloud has struck a deal with Stack Overflow that will marry Stack Overflow’s knowledge base with Google’s AI, Gemini. Gemini for Google Cloud will be able to provide developers with suggestions, code and other information from Stack Overflow, using a new Overflow API. Gemini was previously called Bard but was rebranded this year. Customers of Google Cloud also will be able to receive Stack Overflow’s technical knowledge from within the Google Cloud Console.

Regular Expressions (regex) in this age of AI is an interesting area, because surely AI can analyse text well enough to make the tool itself redundant. The only problem is that as developers, we want to extract answers for our work flows, not stay within a user-centred solution styled by the likes of OpenAI.
