Is AI BS?
There are a lot of strong opinions around AI and the recent rush to integrate it into everything. Is it all just nonsense? I had the opportunity to integrate Copilot with Octopus Deploy as a launch partner for Copilot Extensions, and this talk covers lessons learned, the value of AI, the things to watch out for as a developer, and where AI will go for the "business as usual" work that you'll likely end up integrating AI with.
I have loved technology since my first Commodore 64, and that passion remains to this day. My days have me integrating enterprise platforms with Octopus, writing books on topics like DevEx and platform engineering, blogging, and training my colleagues, testing bleeding edge open source projects and contributing to various blogs.
