Nice to see @balarawool.bsky.social 's talk at #Devoxx on the featured talks list 🤩

It's a great overview, often with some hidden gems, as long as you don't focus too much on the viewer numbers. Some subjects and conferences receive more traffic.

Just home from another inspiring meetup @openvalue.eu.
Loved @balarawool.bsky.social examples that build up to a clear understanding of vector databases, RAG and embeddings. The book I recommended Bala is Unlocking Data With Generative AI and RAG by Keith Bourne from Packt. #devlife #java #RAG
