@sharifshameem @LexicaArt A city skyline at evening reflected in the eye.

Here are a few samples from the latest Lexica model. Will be live for everyone to play with in a few days. To beta test it, just reply here with a prompt.

@damienguard Coding day to day is quite specific. In my book, its more interesting to think about a leader who can roll up sleeves and do whats required for the team/project. Aside: can we mix in vision, strategy and customer engagement? I expect a lead to be able to step up to those. :)

Community Feature: @nikhilk.photos Love this shot of our beautiful city from Nikhil. Have you taken a ride on the monorail? Thanks for sharing with us Nikhil! Use #GlazersCamera in your posts to be featured. #communityfeature #seattlecommunity #fe… instagr.am/p/CcYMG5yhbgD/

What an amazing and impactful journey! 🎉

@mim_djo See my next post ... on building data meshes.

a new data product from Google Cloud, I don't know what it does really :)

@data_mesh_learn @googlecloud Look forward to more discussion and hearing your thoughts, showing this in action, as well as taking the product further, building on v1.

@nikhilk @googlecloud From a quick skim, I saw a LOT of problematic statements in this. I'll circle back next week but also you literally can't build a data mesh based on technology. That's part of the core meaning of the phrase. Don't oversell, show and don't tell

Posted: "Build a data mesh on Google Cloud with Dataplex" at cloud.google.com/blog/products/… What do you think of the #datamesh idea? #Dataplex #BigData #Analytics @googlecloud

@jamiet @googlecloud Yes, metadata is core to everything. The products are complementary: Dataplex provides the management interface and automated extraction of metadata, while Data Catalog provides the metadata search. The two services/teams are two halves of metadata management.

@nikhilk @googlecloud Hi, just trying to wrap my head around this. Seems to be some sort of metadata management tool. Hence I wonder how it is different to Data Catalog. Is there overlap or are they complimentary? TIA

We launched Dataplex - a data management at scale solution for @googlecloud and an end-to-end analytics experience. Check it out at cloud.google.com/dataplex. #Dataplex #BigData #Analytics #GCP

@JeffHandley @terrajobst Brings back memories of my college days... hands down, compiler project was the most fun, and then had another go at it with script#. Hope your tinkering is just as rewarding!

I've never taken a compiler class; I finally started @terrajobst's series of building a compiler from scratch. youtube.com/playlist?list=… It took me 5 hours to finish the 108-minute 1st episode; I tinkered along the way. With as far as ep. 1 got, I can't believe there are 27 more!

@satyanadella Bought the original version as my first company store purchase. 🙂 Nice to see this!

Nearly 25 years after we first launched Age of Empires, today this epic journey continues with Age of Empires IV.

@timheuer Having worked within Google’s mono repo for some time now, I’ve come around to really appreciate it… search and ability to navigate references to browse code rocks.

I hate searching many different repos for the one small thing I need to change. Also, I hate mono repos.

Share something that's got you questioning...

Something to ponder about ... “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” time.com/6096754/silico…

@JeffHandley Why does everything that's not so good for you taste so good?!? Something seriously twisted...

Seriously though, why do donuts have to taste so fucking good?

@gossmanster Congratulations John! Best wishes for the future. It was awesome working together while at Microsoft. Good memories!!

I am retiring. After 21 years at Microsoft and 36 in the industry, I still love my job and the people, but I have many other things I want to do and for various reasons the luxury of options.

@Di_Ku @Ppoutonnet @QuinnyPig @GCPcloud @awscloud @gregde Interesting. I've been having a few blasts from the past recently. It was great working on Datalab, and MLEngine. Both ahead of AWS at the time...

@Ppoutonnet @QuinnyPig @GCPcloud @awscloud @gregde Wow! A blast from the past @nikhilk was the eng lead & primary creator of that (I was the PM). Yes, GCP had its stars but needed more heft / filling of gaps that didn't happen fast enough to gain customers.

I sometimes say that from a pure technology perspective @GCPcloud is 3-5 years ahead of @awscloud. When it comes to Cloud Shell, they’re ahead by 5 years and 2 months. cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2015/10/live-f…
