Juho Ylikylä: Let's build an overengineered LLM pipeline

Overengineering is fun but not safe for work. Since we are off the clock, let's go wild and use select hyped open-source Python generative AI libraries and build a thing.

Juha-Matti Santala: Contemporary Documentation

Teams change often. People leave and people join. In addition to those changes, we tend to forget what we were thinking. That's why it's a good practice to document those thoughts, discussions and decisions into a format that doesn't lose them.

In this talk I explore ways to use tools and processes you might be familiar with - version control and project management tools - to help you document the motivation, thoughts and intents behind changes when they happen. You'll get practical tips that you can take back to your work the next day.
