@MIDNovas Are you telling me that the ancient family tradition of feeding the pet a ton of grapes to placate the beast has become ineffective?

Last nightā€™s @AllThingsOpen meetup hosted by @IBM was an incredible way to wrap up the year! The evening began with @toddlew describing @AllThingsOpen upcoming events to a standing room only crowd! I then did a quick overview of IBMā€™s Granite LLMs and @InstructLab. And finally we had @burrsutter from @RedHat do an incredible talk on Enterprise AI tools and models!

We had a packed house last night for the @AllThingsOpen meetup hosted by @IBM! It was standing room only with a crowd of 160+ that absolutely devoured 17 pizzas and also learned a ton about enterprise AI, Granite LLMs, and @InstructLab! @BillHiggins @toddlew

I found this very interesting. I spent 24 years as an individual contributor before switching to management to get prepared for leading a large org of open source contributors. When my boss retired and I was offered the Director role, I was motivated to take it out of fear that if I didnā€™t they would give the job to someone that had no idea how to do it and that can be an absolute disaster when leading a team of elite open source contributors.

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø STEVE JOBS: THE BEST MANAGERS ARE GREAT CONTRIBUTORS... WHO NEVER WANTED TO BE MANAGERS "At Apple, we thought hiring professional managers would make us a big company. It didnā€™t workā€”most were bozos who could manage but couldnā€™t do anything else. The best managers? Great individual contributors who never wanted the job but took it because they knew no one else could do it as well." Source: BusinessX on IG

Very much enjoyed attending the College of Computing Advisory Board meetings! They were very productive and I always appreciate my collaborations with @gtcomputing!

The White and Gold shown bright at Homecoming & Reunion Weekend, Nov. 7-9! We loved seeing so many alumni and friends on campus, reconnecting with our community and sharing experiences and insights with current students. The Collegeā€™s Advisory Board held its biannual meeting, allowing board members to connect with groups of computing students and hear directly about their experiences and interests. With more than 40 advisory board members that include alumni and professionals across industries and regions, the group learned from the college leadership about opportunities that enrollment growth has brought and priorities for the collegeā€™s future. The board members brought fresh, external perspectives on industry trends and challenges and how the college might innovate as computing touches more job sectors. Their support and investment in the College continue to help us move forward as we prepare the next generation of innovators. #GTcomputing
