Good article. Great line:

AI reduces the cost of writing code. It does not reduce the cost of owning it.

How AI redefines software engineering expertise

AI removes the difficulty of writing code. It does not remove the responsibility of designing systems.

Ask your data natural-language questions in R or Python with the querychat package! Bonus: You never send that data to an LLM.

My step-by-step InfoWorld tutorial using NFL game data (first day of the season tonight!) as an example:

Chat with data the easy way in R or Python

Why write SQL queries when you can get an LLM to write the code for you? Query NFL data using querychat, a new chatbot component that works with the Shiny web framework and is compatible with R and Python.

Scheduled for tomorrow: "RAG comes to the tidyverse!" My step-by-step tutorial on using the {ragnar} #RStats 📦 to do retrieval augmented generation in R is supposed to be published July 17 at #InfoWorld.

To think that during the late 80s and early 90s, the IT industry was so fast-paced and full of new ideas (and, in fairness, #vaporware) that magazines like #InfoWorld came out every week and had several dozen (not counting the ads!) densely-packed pages with information, news, tests and reviews, announcements, interviews and speculation.

So many of the products - both hardware and software - are mind-blowingly awesome, like the "Earthstation III", a 386SX built into a regular sized keyboard (RPI400 anyone?). I've yet to find one on eBay or elsewhere..

I don't usually link to Google resources (evil bastards), but I'm consuming stuff like this with great apetite: https://books.google.com/books?id=VTwEAAAAMBAJ

Happy and proud that I had an article published by #InfoWorld covering Intelligent IDEs and Development Assistants.

How AI is transforming IDEs into intelligent development assistants

By automating routine tasks and reducing friction, AI-powered IDEs allow developers to spend more time developing. Here’s what they add to the traditional IDE feature set.
