Ep83: Book Writing Progress + GraphRAG & DevRel in the AI Era

In this episode, hear my latest writing progress on the Java book, a couple of new DZone blog posts, and upcoming meetups and podcast guests. I also dig into an article on how AI is reshaping developer relations.

• Made strong progress on the Java book, wrapping up one chapter and starting the next
• Published a new blog post on DZone about the agents architecture (first of several planned installments)
• Colleague Akmal Chaudhri published a DZone post on Spring AI, Neo4j, and Goodreads data — check it out!
• Meetup tours coming up: Florida groups in November, North Carolina groups in September (details soon)
• Virtual talk for the Miami JUG on GraphRAG/RAG coming up later this month (event link here)
• New podcast guests starting to line up for the coming weeks
• Discussed the article "Developer Relations After the Cheat Code Machine" by Sunil Pai
• Explored how "watch me work" content reflects a shift in how developers learn implicit knowledge
• Reflected on how DevRel's core mission remains the same, even as the format evolves
