Dev Skill Share The Edge of Chaos

Special guest speaker, Joe Harper, will be giving a talk on The Edge of Chaos: the architecture of AI, its strengths, its weaknesses, and where humans can still add value as the capabilities of LLM models increase. Discover the weaknesses in AI that everyone is overlooking... and why we probably won’t be wiped out any time soon!
Our host Richard Howell-Peak will be arguing that the Single Responsibility Principle may still be relevant in the age of AI software development and what this could mean for future language development.
