Micro-Metrics Every Performance Engineer Should Validate Before Sign-OffTier1 app
When it comes to performance testing, most engineers instinctively gravitate toward the big-picture indicators—response time, memory usage, throughput. But what about the smaller, more subtle indicators that quietly shape your application’s performance and stability? we explored the hidden layer of performance diagnostics that too often gets overlooked: micro-metrics. These small but mighty data points can reveal early signs of trouble long before they manifest as outages or degradation in production.
From garbage collection behavior and object creation rates to thread state transitions and blocked thread patterns, we unpacked the critical micro-metrics every performance engineer should assess before giving the green light to any release.
This session went beyond the basics, offering hands-on demonstrations and JVM-level diagnostics that help identify performance blind spots traditional tests tend to miss. We showed how early detection of these subtle anomalies can drastically reduce post-deployment issues and production firefighting.
Whether you're a performance testing veteran or new to JVM tuning, this session helped shift your validation strategies left—empowering you to detect and resolve risks earlier in the lifecycle.
Join the Denver Marketo User Group, Captello and Integrate as we dive into the best practices, tools, and strategies for maintaining robust, high-performing databases. From managing vendors and automating orchestrations to enriching data for better insights, this session will unpack the key elements that keep your data ecosystem running smoothly—and smartly.
We will hear from Steve Armenti, Twelfth, and Aaron Karpaty, Captello, and Frannie Danzinger, Integrate.

Integrating Survey123 and R&H Data Using FMESafe Software
West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) actively engages in several field data collection initiatives using Collector and Survey 123. A critical component for effective asset management and enhanced analytical capabilities is the integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) data with Linear Referencing System (LRS) data. Currently, RouteID and Measures are not captured in Survey 123. However, we can bridge this gap through FME Flow automation. When a survey is submitted through Survey 123 for ArcGIS Portal (10.8.1), it triggers FME Flow automation. This process uses a customized workbench that interacts with a modified version of Esri's Geometry to Measure API. The result is a JSON response that includes RouteID and Measures, which are then applied to the feature service record.

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
