I’ve always claimed there’s no better way to learn anything than by building something yourself… and the second-best way is reviewing someone else’s code. From now on, every Wednesday we’ll pick one trending repo from the previous week and give it some attention: a tutorial, an article, or a code review - learning directly from its authors.
As we go full-AI mode, we want to inspire fellow developers with all the cool projects and experiments our devs are running with AI tools and agents. This is why we are launching the new series: “This Month We AIed” initiated by the Scala expert and SoftwareMill co-founder, Adam Warski.
This first edition curates in-depth, hype-free AI insights for engineers, from the pitfalls of multi-agent systems to the rise of AI-powered browsers. Expect contrarian takes, practical engineering tips, and real-world case studies over fleeting trends.
Explore how tool invocation works in LLMs like Claude and ChatGPT, blending prompt design with infrastructure. Understand the role of MCP in standardizing external tool integration for seamless AI-agent interactions.
Explore how MCP transforms JVM tools like WildFly and Ghidra into LLM-driven operations, diagnostics, and reverse engineering servers. Discover how agents can now run diagnostics, decompile malware, and even query applications—all via chat.
If you are using AI coding assistants or agents, they will only be as helpful as their knowledge of the libraries you use. LLMs know a lot about the world from their training set, but that might not include a library's documentation at all or include an older version. Agents can browse the Internet looking for more recent information, but this might not be precise enough. For instance, the web might be littered with outdated examples, and the latest information might only be available in the official docs. Hence, if you are a library author, how do you prepare your documentation for consumption by coding agents?
GenAI and LLMs are distinct AI models, but have so many commonalities that some users struggle to tell them apart. To find the right application for them in a business environment, we will discuss the differences between the two.
As organizations grow in size, the volume of internal information swells exponentially. A LLM chatbot helps to find the information and streamline data distribution.
