I have already delivered several projects based on RAG and generative AI. Part of the reason why I have been succesfull is that I started to document myself even before starting to sell and that has helped me both to manage expectations and select use cases that were a good fit for the technology. Now that the focus is shifting to Agentic AI I would like to follow the same approach and get up to speed. I am relying on the community to try to make my investigation faster. Who can suggest some good references on it? I am looking for material that is factual, covers the theoretical foundations and avoids any hype. I am fine with deeply technical material and scientific papers.
I would like to hear the community's opinion on the best code assistant they've tried. Ideally, I'm looking for something that allows experienced backend developers to save time (targeting languages C# and Java) and is good at handling boilerplate and complex requests. So far, I've tried Copilot, but to say that I'm disappointed is an understatement. It's essentially just auto-complete on steroids (when it works), and I don't see any real value. What's your experience?
In your opinion what are the emerging technologies in the application development space that need to be kept under the radar? Exclude anything AI related as that is a very clear trend and would like to hear the community opinion about other trends
I am curios to know from the people here what are their thoughts about the possibility to automate completely or even partially answers to RFP requests by leveraging Generative AI. Every company that participates in RFP usually has a consistent database of documentation that might be leveraged for such purposes. At the same time the usual length of RFP documents might poses great challenges to LLMs in terms of their context limits. What are your thoughts?
