For me, AI solves one of the two hardest problems in software development - naming things. It still can't really help much with cache invalidation and off-by-one errors 😜

Milen Dyankov - AI for Java Developers - From Buzzword to Code
Speaker
Milen Dyankov
Abstract
AI is undeniably a buzzword, but it is here to stay. What does this mean for Java developers? Can we design and build applications that harness the power of AI? Most importantly, where do we start? This session focuses on inference—using pre-trained models directly from your code. Instead of relying on proprietary APIs, it'll demystify the "magic" by breaking the AI buzzword down into familiar concepts and components. This will enable you to use AI models as naturally as you would work with databases or workflows. Through live demos, you'll learn to leverage basic embedding models, explore vector databases, and use tools like LangChain4J. By the end, you'll have a practical roadmap to kickstart your journey into Java-powered AI.

Once, only elites could read and write—they were the writers. Literacy spread, but few became authors. Writing well still takes skill and craft.
Software dev was once for specialists. Now, no-code lets almost anyone “write code.”
But just like literacy, producing code doesn’t make you a developer.

The only session I could attend (partially) is the one by @milendyankov.com and I have to say that I liked it very much !
Very well explained, all the concepts related to #AI, the models behind it, what are #LLM's,
@ollama @langchain4j, ... bravo! 👏 🙂

A good #VectorDB is a must-have for AI-powered solutions on top of massive datasets.
But that doesn’t mean this is an experts-only territory. With the right tools and guidance, even newcomers can use #RAG and add genuinely useful #AI to their projects.

Somehow I only recently discovered the `group(...)` and `groupCollapsed(...)` methods in the Console API. Combined with esbuild's ability to remove all `log(...)` and `debug(...)` from production builds, logging to the browser's console while developing JS/TS apps is a whole new experience.

The only part of this article which is even remotely implausible is the bit at the top where it says it’s “humor”… yes, it’s laugh-out-loud funny, but only because it’s horribly, excruciatingly accurate.
