Our founder, Faith Rees, cuts through the AI noise with some much-needed reality checks.
She's asking the questions that actually matter: What problems are you really trying to solve? What's your data situation?
Sometimes the best strategy is knowing when NOT to use AI.

Life hacks!
I will never succeed with this task (I can barely make it past coffee), so know I always have some kind of magic stain remover with me at an event 🤣

This was a fantastic talk. Thank you @rendle.dev for the important and timely message and amazing delivery. #dddperth
This was the final slide from my Reasons To Be Cheerful talk yesterday at #DDDPerth and it seems to have resonated with a lot of people so I’m sharing it here.

The most nerve wracking part of conference day isn't giving the talk - it's getting through each meal without dropping food on yourself. #dddperth
