About this episode
Daniel and Chris are out this week, so we’re bringing you conversations all about AI’s complicated relationship to software developers from other Changelog pods: JS Party, Go Time & The Changelog.
Sponsors:
- Neo4j – Is your code getting dragged down by JOINs and long query times? The problem might be your database…Try simplifying the complex with graphs. Stop asking relational databases to do more than they were made for. Graphs work well for use cases with lots of data connections like supply chain, fraud detection, real-time analytics, and genAI. With Neo4j, you can code in your favorite programming language and against any driver. Plus, it’s easy to integrate into your tech stack. Visit Neo4j.com/developer to get started.
- The Hacker Mindset – “The Hacker Mindset” written by Garrett Gee, a seasoned white hat hacker with over 20 years of experience, is available for pre-order now. This book reveals the secrets of white hat hacking and how you can apply them to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. In a world where hacking often gets a bad rap, this book shows you the white hat side – the side focused on innovation, problem-solving, and ethical principles.
- Fly.io – The home of Changelog.com — Deploy your apps and databases close to your users. In minutes you can run your Ruby, Go, Node, Deno, Python, or Elixir app (and databases!) all over the world. No ops required. Learn more at fly.io/changelog and check out the speedrun in their docs.
