I had a very busy weekend. I'm excited to share that I have received my TensorFlow Developer Certificate! https://t.co/BGztXAkngI

Special thanks to @lmoroney, @fchollet, Stuart Russell, and Peter Norvig for their excellent material on TensorFlow and machine learning!

So if you want your network,
To be fast and reliable,
Google Cloud is the place,
Where your dreams are viable.

#GoogleCloud Networking: a poem by me and #ChatGPT.
In the cloud of Google,
Networking's a breeze,
With a click and a flick,
Connections are at your fingertips.

With VPCs and subnets,
Security's never a worry,
And with the power of Kubernetes,
Scaling's a cinch in a hurry.

This is a question I've been fielding a lot, so decided to streamline the questions I ask before offering advice. It's going to ruffle some feathers though.

If you were handed $500 in Google Cloud credits for personal use right now, what would you build? 🤔

@forrestbrazeal @lustcoder @GDGCloud The challenge was a lot of fun. I'd also love to see how Vishnu finished so quickly. I optimized everything I could think of!

@praisechaos Even with teaching these concepts as my day job and doing similar demos for the classes, I still forget random options. There's no shame in taking advantage of good documentation, and it's a valuable skill to know where in the docs to quickly find something.

[Adam Vincent @automatedempire]

@praisechaos I teach a different audience (tech professionals, not students), but I frequently dive into documentation during demos. I call it "API spelunking". There's simply no way to memorize the vast amount of commands and options available, so as a professional, you'll be doing it a lot.

A year in to learning Spanish, I won't claim to be fluent, but I certainly understand far more than when I started. It really is amazing what a few minutes a day of dedicated practice can get you. It's been a fun journey. ¡Siempre hay más que aprender! Gracias, @duolingo!

@yvssram When I'm doing speed runs, I script everything out before I start the lab, using variables for anything the lab provides. I log in, start Cloud Shell, paste my script in to a new file, then execute it. I frequently run tasks in parallel. Anything to save a few precious seconds.
