Fleet management at Spotify with 7500 changes per week
Spotify moved from a squad-first, to a fleet-first mindset – a way of applying changes to an entire fleet of components at once
The future of coding unveiled
Generative AI coding tools have been transforming coding workflows and practices for developers and their managers. These tools integrate with existing IDEs and code editors, providing real-time code suggestions, auto-completion, and bug detection.Built on advanced machine learning models, primarily transformer-based architectures, generative AI coding tools learn from vast datasets of code. The pre-trained transformer recognizes code patterns, structures, syntax, and semantics. Self-attention mechanisms handle long-range dependencies and generate contextually relevant code, thanks to a massive training dataset with millions of lines of code across programming languages.In this week's NPW Insights, discover how generative AI is reshaping the world of software programming, along with other in-depth explorations.

How generative AI will evolve software development
Generative AI differs from other automation and ML tools in that it can shift the developer’s work to a higher, more abstract level. This GitHub blog shows how transformer LLMs leverage a technique called attention mechanism to make context-relevant code-suggestions, how multi-modal LLMs expand the scope of inputs to images, and why that matters for developers. An in-page video features GitHub’s Senior Developer Advocate talking about creative experiments with GPT-4. Also noteworthy, are application-ready use-cases of generative AI for developers – which include code translation, solution discovery (StackOverflow-like suggestions in IDE), and writing functional and unit tests with natural language prompts.
