iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

There's rarely a perfect answer in software architecture. You make a choice, live with the tradeoffs, learn something, and eventually have to make another choice. Software Architecture Decision-Making is a new MEAP about navigating those decisions with a little more intention.

There's a certain kind of satisfaction in realizing something that looked way too complicated is actually something you can play with. Grokking Parallel Programming starts small, builds up to CUDA, & lets you practice in the browser without a GPU. Half off through tomorrow: hubs.la/Q04y8Cm50

Ever wonder how a recommendation system decides what to put in front of you? There's a lot more going on than "you liked X, so here's Y." Data, ranking, cold starts, evaluation, and now LLMs, RAG, and agents all play a role. AI Recommender Systems teaches you the ins and outs: hubs.la/Q04xQnv20

There's a difference between knowing what state you want your software in and deciding when a build is ready to get there. That's what Kargo handles: promoting software through environments alongside Argo CD. Kargo in Action is our new MEAP, written by the @akuity.io engineers who built Kargo.

At this the point, people independently discover the same problems when they build agents. It might be time to start naming those patterns. Because shared language makes it easier for people to learn from each other. Agent Design Patterns starts that conversation. Learn more: hubs.la/Q04xbQ_20

It's painful knowing your ML code works but not knowing why it's slow. You can stay at the PyTorch level. But, eventually, you may need to understand what the GPU is doing. That's where Triton comes in. GPU Programming with Triton takes you from GPU kernel fundamentals to modern LLM techniques.
