A couple years back, O'Reilly published the book "Software Engineering at Google." It's good, I read it.
Now, you can read it online, entirely free. Do yourself a favor, and at least flip through it!

- 🚨 Gemini Code Assist is now free for individual use. No cloud account needed, virtually no usage limits. 128k token input. This excellent IDE extension for Visual Studio Code and Jetbrains IDEs use Gemini 2.0 and compliments @GoogleAIStudio in your AI toolbox. Try it!
- Um, this is awesome. Fire up the Gemini CLI and install the nano-banana extension. I just did. Generate or edit images, create icons, even produce technical diagrams or mockups. github.com/gemini-cli-ext…
00:40Replying to @googleaidevsTake it for a spin in Gemini CLI with the new Nano Banana extension 🍌 - I shouldn't even be telling everyone about this, but here goes. Did you know that if you have a Google account, you have a free cloud-based dev environment at ide.cloud.google.com? And it has now Gemini Code Assist now enabled by default? Party on. cloud.google.com/shell/docs/lau…
- Kudos to @AnthropicAI for a killer registry of Claude use cases. If you're struggling for inspiration for what to do with an LLM (any LLM) this is a great set of scenarios to sift through.
- I’ll be honest with you. Our @googlecloud Gemini Code Assist was useful, but with too many rough edges. My DevRel team, along with product, engineering, and even @ThomasOrTK had enough. So we’ve spent months removing friction from it. It’s not perfect, but it’s better! A 🧵:
- Here's a peek at the specific tech that powers Pokémon GO. It includes 5000 @googlecloud Spanner nodes, 5-10TB of daily data in BigQuery and BigTable, GKE, Pub/Sub, and more. cloud.google.com/blog/topics/de…
- We often hear that people leave managers, not jobs. But how many people *take* jobs because of the chance to work with someone? I've known a few folks who have followed leaders elsewhere. I like seeing that.
- You might be new to Gemini Code Assist. That's ok. Let me walk you through a handful of fun features that you should experiment with today now that's this AI coding tool is free and easy to try out.

- Now THAT'S a cloud migration. Sabre closed 17 data centers, moved 40k servers, 400k CPUs, 50 PB of storage, integrated a dozen analytics platforms into @googlecloud BigQuery, and added 50k containers to GKE. It can be done!
- Looking for an architecture-focused learning path? I like this list of book suggestions from @ghohpe ... architectelevator.com/architecture/a…
- Yup, @Google Bard does a pretty great job at coding tasks now. Code generation, code explanation (try pointing to a repo!), fixing code bugs, and even giving a source citation where applicable. blog.google/technology/ai/… I even got COBOL back:
- About half our code at Google is AI generated at this point. Engineers review every character, and choose what to accept into our codebase. #GeminiAtWork
