Chris Deotte is a Senior Data Scientist and @jfpuget.bsky.social is the Director and a Distinguished Engineer at Nvidia. They join @seanfalconer.bsky.social to talk about NVIDIA RAPIDS and GPU-acceleration for data science tools. softwareengineeringdaily.com/2025/03/04/n...

Multi-agent systems promise to solve complex problems, but only with the right foundation. Event-driven design gives multi-agent systems a shared language, using events to decouple producers and consumers. www.infoworld.com/article/3808...

Distributed systems are complex, but what if most are just logs at their core? "Every System is a Log" explores how embracing this idea reduces coordination and simplifies design. Worth a read: restate.dev/blog/every-s...

AI agents are powerful, but they’re not always the answer. Sometimes a prompt or workflow is simpler, faster, and smarter. Prompts: great for one-offs. Workflows: solid for predictable tasks. Agents: messy, adaptable, but tricky to scale. Don’t over-engineer. More here: medium.com/@seanfalcone...

The pace of AI advancement is not slowing down, and now AI agents are breaking onto the scene, leveraging ever more powerful models to interact with the real world. In this post, I cover some of the voices talking about AI agents and the challenges ahead. jack-vanlightly.com/blog/2025/1/...

AI can't deliver value if your data is siloed, stale, and stuck in brittle pipelines. Real-time streaming solves this by liberating data at the source. No batch delays. No reverse ETL headaches. Check out my article for more on this. medium.com/@seanfalcone...

AI is only as good as its data. I built a research assistant with Kafka + Flink to process real-time, in-flight data—no stale datasets, no rigid pipelines. Just clean architecture powering practical AI. dzone.com/articles/bui...

I don't always have time to craft a great post about a podcast I host. To make life easier, I built an AI-powered LinkedIn post generator. Blog post: seanfalconer.medium.com/automating-p... GitHub repo: github.com/thefalc/podc...

🎙️ This year, I hosted nearly 100 podcasts! Here are some of my favorites👇 The Real Work of Data Engineering with @joereis.bsky.social: youtu.be/KwP4q00B6OI One Year of ChatGPT with Christian Hubicki: youtu.be/cJP5341-GGw

While databases are introverts, holding information close until explicitly asked, LLMs are extroverts, designed to engage, synthesize and proactively contribute. For more on this, check out my post on @thenewstack.io: thenewstack.io/stop-treatin...
