The productivity improvements an AI-assisted code development tool can bring to your workflow are significant. If you are not convinced, allow me to give you one recent experience of mine. Me, like many of you, have a bunch of personal projects that I work on in my spare time. I’m currently building something around AWS, using the AWS JS SDK and Next.js. In one of the pages, I want to list all the EC2 instances in my account....

I recently had the opportunity to speak at The Commit Your Code Conference in Dallas. The Commit Your Code Conference The Commit Your Code Conference is one of a kind conference where 100% of proceeds go to FreeCodeCamp and St. Jude. Here’s the excerpt from their website. 100% of all ticket sales will be donated to charity. The entire organizing team are donating their time and we will not be making a profit from the event....

I recently had a fantastic time chatting with the folks over at This Dot Labs for their Leadership Exchange podcast. We dove deep into some really interesting topics around AI, leadership, and how we at DataNimbus are working to make AI accessible to everyone. We covered a lot of ground, but here are some highlights: We explored how my experiences have shaped my approach to leading DataNimbus, and how innovation is at the heart of our mission to democratize AI....

Google (re)enabled image creation cabaility via Gemini with their new Imagen 3. It can generate images, and you can request changes to the image through follow-up messages. I had to give it a try! 😃 Here we go! Generate a teampunk rose A martian is holding the rose The martian is surfing a big wave in hawai The wave is inside a snow globe Kratos is holding the snow globe Kratos is sitting in a boat A dog appears!...

Last week, I had the privilege of attending a leadership meetup in Dallas organized by This Dot Labs and to be on the panel discussing the “Impact of AI on Organizations”. I was lucky enough to be in the same room with some seriously brilliant people. The discussions we had were refreshing and a big learning experience for me. What got me fascinated was the kind of applications where AI is being put to use....

Recently I read an article about how Stripe built one of the best engineering teams. I have used their products and I have to admit that it’s just well built. Clean, precise and easy to use. Love their documentation too. When i came across this article I wanted to know how they built their team. What stood out for me was the section about “The Sunday Test”. The Sunday Test While other sections about treating recruiting as marketing, valuing rejection experiences, and leveraging existing engineers for talent sourcing were valuable, The Sunday Test was different....

Speech-to-text models are the magic behind converting spoken language into written text. From dictating documents and emails to transcribing meetings, their applications are vast. Personally, I rely on this feature to send hands-free messages and control my smart home devices. While those everyday uses are great, I recently discovered an even more powerful application for speech-to-text. When you combine speech recognition with the power of LLMs, things get really interesting. We’re talking Q&A documents, meeting summaries, and even enhancing RAG models....

~(Yikes! broken image)~ Yay! figured out how to enable global images. This is my third attempt to get a website built. Tried Ghost, then Substack and then Wordpress. Nothing seems to be working. Let’s see where this goes. May be it’s not the platform. May be it’s me stuck in a writer’s block. TODO I’m yet to figure out load images on this website. For some reason referring to the images in the assests folder is not working....

For my next project I wanted to build something that I have been planning to do for a long time. I love solving sudoku and I was really good at it. Yup, I was good. That was three years ago. By the time I got good at solving sudoku, it started to get boring for me and I decided to write my first sudoku solver – goSudoku. CLI Solution goSudoku is written in Go....

I’m no expert in AI/ML. I’m trying to self-learn and haven’t built anything significant, until now! To learn something, I need a problem to apply and practice what we learned. I was missing that. I didn’t have a use case for anything related to AI/ML and I wanted a pet project for AI/ML. The beginnings Yeah! Let’s talk about that. I started with this – Basic classification: Classify images of clothing....
