As an Enterprise Advocate here at GitHub, I frequently meet with GitHub’s largest customers. The pace of innovation at GitHub is mind blowing 🤯 these days. There are frequent updates to our blog, our Changelog, ⁠our Resources page, YouTube videos, our documentation, and more. We have the information and resources that you need to make you more productive and enable you and your team to deliver solutions to your customers more quickly, with higher quality and more securely. But, working on an enterprise software development team you have a day job that is demanding on your time. So, how do you make time to keep up with all of this? Even when you find time, you have to sift through a mountain of posts and updates to discover the key information you need. Well, we’ve done the work of curation for you.

We want to hear from you! Let us know how we can improve upon the last edition of the enterprise roundup to make the next one and even more valuable resource for you and your teams.

Love the concept! A few suggestions to make the MER even more useful for busy enterprise teams: lead with a one-line TL;DR that calls out any breaking changes or required actions; group updates into clear buckets (security, platform/product, docs & migration, partner integrations) and put 1–2 highlighted items per bucket; include direct links and one-sentence why it matters (e.g., “action required by Feb 1” or “performance improvement for large repos”); add quick “what to do this week” action items for engineering leads and SREs; include timestamps or short video jump links for any long recordings; and offer a single downloadable checklist or changelog that teams can attach to internal release notes. Also add a short subscribe option (email/Slack/RSS) and an easy way to surface feedback items you want prioritized next month.

@DavitEgoian The audience for the MER is anyone in enterprise software development so, there is a wide range of information here. This makes it difficult to provide a TL;DR that will properly address each and every reader. To get a more personalized subset of links to explore, my suggestion is to try this: Open up your favorite AI tool, (e.g. ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, etc.) and ask the tool to provide you a list of links that you should explore. For example:

My role is to facilitate AI adoption within software development across our entire organization. Based on the links found on this web page, create a list of the links that I should explore.

My role is to manage DevOps and security tooling within software development across our entire organization. Based on the links found on this web page, create a list of the links that I should explore.

My role is to explore how to increase developer productivity within software development across our entire organization. Based on the links found on this web page, create a list of the links that I should explore.

My role is to manage builds, automated tests and deployments within software development across our entire organization. Based on the links found on this web page, create a list of the links that I should explore.

Perhaps try this with the December edition: https://gh.io/mer

Let us know if this approach works for you. We would also like to know what prompt you use to get a list of links tailored to your role and interests.
