AI from diffusion → orchestration. I sat down with @VaskinK to unpack image models, Skills, LangChain/LangGraph, and taking agents to prod (AWS Agent Core, real pitfalls). Practical plays > hype. Watch Ep.6 ▶ youtu.be/iSL-K4ytQNI?utm_sou… #AIMUG #GenAI #LangChain

AI as coach, collaborator… maybe more? I sat down with @ricky_pirr on the leap from G-code → JS → Python, how ChatGPT/Claude boost real work, and his “AI Mission Command.” Big ideas (consciousness, agents) + practical workflows. Watch Ep.5 ▶ youtu.be/jWLFSrfI_fA?utm_sou…

Infra is going AI-native. I sat down with Ryan Booth (enterprise networking → AI) to unpack RAG, A2A, and context engineering—plus how agents speed real-world ops/dev. Practical wins, zero fluff. Watch Ep.4 ▶ youtu.be/16lVhvBgCB8?utm_sou… #AIMUG #LangChain

Treat video like code. My DevRel Video Stack = CI/CD for content. Ship faster → clearer edits → measurable impact (watch time, AVD, CTR). Read: medium.com/p/the-devrel-vide…

DevRel videos underperforming? Stop over‑editing. I wrote a 5‑stage map to cut fast, add only what clarifies, and hold attention to the last frame (Resolve/Premiere/Descript/CapCut). Read: medium.com/p/edit-devrel-vid…

Your DevRel videos don’t need Hollywood gear. They need an office setup that flips from coding desk → recording studio in minutes. I’ve been there. I finally fixed it by treating my office like a stage. Read how👇 medium.com/p/stop-filming-li…

Docs slick but users still bail? PAS ≠ just copywriting fluff—it’s a dev-docs life saver. Diagnose the bug, agitate the risk, prescribe the fix. Want your tutorials read to the last line? Check the article ↓ medium.com/p/diagnose-agitat…
