We talk about what's happening in Data & AI every week (well, most weeks). No buzzword bingo or marketing fluff—just honest conversations about the tech that's changing everything. Sometimes we go off on weird tangents about programming languages, tech/startup life, or whatever shiny object caught our attention. Whether you're knee-deep in code or just curious about AI, come hang out with us!
