AI Vision Models, Chat-Oriented Programming, and Junior Developer Dilemma | Tales from the Jar Side
In this episode of 'Tales from the Jar Side,' hosted by Ken Kousen, we explore AI vision models used for inventory, discuss chat-oriented programming, and delve into the implications of AI on junior developers. The newsletter, dated July 1, 2024, covers various advancements and experiments with AI models such as Claude 3.5, Google's Gemini, and GPT-4, which were tested for their ability to inventory books from an image. Ken also reflects on engaging AI tools for code refactoring and the evolving job market for junior developers, especially in relation to Steve Yegge's blog post on AI's impact. The episode also includes discussions on context caching with Gemini, Ken's efforts to refactor his GitHub repositories, and updates on Spring AI framework. Join Ken for an insightful look into the current tech landscape, with his unique mix of humor and detailed technical exploration.
