Ready to join in on the fun?

Welcome to our eight-week series on practical uses of AI for software crafters. Each week, we will have an expert talking about their learnings in this new a rapidly evolving field. If you're excited to learn how these new tools can enhance and support your skills, please join us!

This series is hosted in collaboration with Calgary Software Crafters: https://www.meetup.com/calgary-software-crafters

Description:

How can we expect LLM products to impact software engineering? Join Chelsea Troy for an examination of how LLM products are built. She'll walk through the domain: what data LLMs are trained on and how they're trained: and spell out how those factors impact what LLMs tend to do well with and where they tend to struggle. Then, we'll talk about how that affects the design of the products built around LLMs, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or Devon. Finally, take a tour with Chelsea through current research elucidating the impact of LLM product use on developer workflows, and dig into what that means for us as practitioners in an LLM-enabled world.
