Today we have Tejas Kumar on the show. Tejas is part of the Developer Relations team at Datastax. He's really good at frontend, got a great podcast and he has written a book called Fluent React.
He spoke recently at the Shift Conference in Croatia, where he talked about AI engineering and what that means. So we talked about AI Engineering, we talked about React, content creation, education, and much more.
This episode is full of value and we think you'd love this one.
