Generative Coding & DevOps Challenges

What can we expect generative AI to generate and is it going to produce good code? Today we talk about Gluecon and generative DevOps and the different concepts and capabilities around it. What impact is it going to have on developers? How do we control that?

Today’s discussion was in preparation for our session on June 13, where we’re going to group program GPT to see what type of DevOps coding skills we can prompt. We talked about the necessity of prompting in this session and covered some tips to help you think about how to be a better prompt engineer, a skill set that everybody’s going to need to have in the next months if not years.

Generative AI Social Media

How does AI chat and generative AI have the potential to disrupt everything we know about social media? Today we talk Twitter versus mastodon.

We spend most of our time talking about the power, influence and simple use cases for generative AI.

Is this going to break Mastodon, Twitter and other forms of social media? We have a pretty compelling conversation about that, too.

If you’re a fan of Mastodon and Twitter, jump forward to about 30 minutes in when we really start getting down to that topic. Stay tuned for our agenda as a bonus extra in the back half of the podcast.

Generative AI in IT

What is generative AI and what are people now just generically calling ChatGPT?

We put these things in a technical frame, meaning can we use generative AI to improve our programming, testing or automation? What does it take to use these concepts in ways that iteratively improve IT infrastructures.

We review the state of chat, ChatGPT, AI infrastructure and things like that.

Rob’s Hot Take:

In a discussion on the DevOps Lunch and Learn podcast, Rob Hirschfeld, CEO of RackN, explores the complexities of generative AI and its impact on coding and automation. Hirschfeld raises questions about trust in generative AI models, emphasizing the need to understand how they are trained, updated, and refined to eliminate errors. He highlights the importance of creating reliable training sets to ensure the technology’s applications, focusing on enhancing system resilience and maintainability.
