During both my computer science studies and work in the tech field, there have not been a lot of women present. While our ranks have grown, women still make up only a small percentage. In many ways, I think the traditionally male-dominated world can be intimidating to women and girls who may be interested in pursuing these types of tech careers.
In 2015, Chrome 35 added support for Client Hints. Client Hints are awesome!

At the time of writing, Chrome 35+ is the only browser to have adopted this standard. Cloudinary has introduced support with the w_auto, dpr_auto, and q_auto parameters.
Nowadays, community managers and developer teams in organizations around the world routinely set up local and international conferences, physical or remote. Those meetups not only empower attendees with the latest information regarding the conference themes, but also provide a great opportunity for the organizers to showcase and advocate their products and services.
Music videos, which comprise an important part of the video-streaming industry, are consistently the most-viewed content on streaming giants, such as YouTube and Vimeo.

Widely acclaimed as the world’s biggest sporting event, the World Cup has established itself as the most captivating tournament to look forward to across the globe. Dating back to 1930, when the first World Cup was hosted in Uruguay, it has always engendered numerous moments of excitement, not only for the participating teams but also for the countries they ably represented. Little could anyone have anticipated that a game of 22 able-bodied men running to take possession of a leather ball could become so famous.
Automating the categorization of your images and videos can help democratize access to your organization's creative assets. Many teams throughout your organization have likely spent a lot of time and effort generating high-quality content, but it'd be all for naught if the content just ends up in some anonymous folder on somebody's hard drive or is randomly dropped into your cloud storage with no functional organizational strategy.
Last month, we had the pleasure of supporting Capitol Music Group’s first ever hackathon, the first in a series of hackathons as part of its newly launched Capitol360 Innovation Center, established to bridge the gaps between music and tech and make music better for everyone. We are proud to be a founding technology partner and were honored to play a part in Capitol’s first-ever 24-hour hack. And because so many of us are avid and longtime music fans we’re also personally thrilled to have the opportunity to work with one of the most influential leaders in music to foster these new and meaningful connections.
You may have heard that we recently launched our Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. On top of other challenges, that was our first launch targeted at the nondeveloper audience, to whom the UI is a central element of a product’s capabilities.
On June 13-14, O'Reilly held its annual Fluent + Velocity conference in San Jose and it was great! Cloudinary set up a pretty incredible booth and brought in a professional photographer to take headshots of the attendees who stopped by. Once a photo was snapped, the raw camera file was immediately uploaded to our media library and transformed into something that can be posted right away on LinkedIn.
