Join Dan Vega and DaShaun Carter for the latest updates from the Spring Ecosystem. In this episode, Dan and DaShaun are joined by Danny Thompson, Senior Developer Advocate at Atlassian, co-host of The Programming Podcast, and founder of The Commit Your Code Conference. Danny is also a co-author of the new No Starch Press book "The Developer's Guide to AI: A Field Guide for the Working Developer." We will talk about his path from a decade in gas stations to a career in software, what it takes to run a conference that donates 100% of ticket revenue to charity, and how working developers can build real AI systems without a data science degree.
