It’s the last day of vacation. My wife and I stayed in Seattle an extra night so we could unwind and then catch up with a friend this morning before we head back home.
While I am having a wonderful Filipino breakfast at Ludi’s, you get to re-read Fixing Imposter Syndrome.
If you get to Seattle and find the Biscuit Bitch too busy, walk down a block to Ludi’s and try their offerings. It’s wonderful. Garlicy, but I love the Long-silog.
You might have seen this graphic on the side of my blog. It’s my discount code for VS Live in San Diego this September.
I got accepted to talk about LLMs on your local machine or data center, which is something I think will be more and more important in the future. Already the EU is less thrilled with US tech giants, and I suspect many other companies will rethink allowing their data to flow to non self-hosted LLMs.
I’m also talking about the Data API Builder, which makes software development much easier for software engineers, and includes an MCP server. I’m excited to showcase how this has grown over the last few years and think it’s a cool technology.
Register today, use my code, save your company some money, and join me in Sunny San Diego. The Padres aren’t in town, but we can still enjoy some time in San Diego.
I’m still on vacation. Today I think is Sitka on our Alaskan cruise, but in any case, no internet for me. Didn’t buy a package, not trying to check things in port.
You get to re-read Bean Counting to Burnout while I hike in the woods around town.
It might seem I’ve been gone a lot, and I have been. April had me taking three trips, and May wasn’t better with 3 before this, but those were for work. This week the family and I are on a cruise to Alaska, spending a week traveling with the kids.
I know it will be amazing, but no blogs this week while I take some time to recharge.
