Key takeaways from DevFest 2025 1. Open Source Software(OSS) contribution (By @Kinfe123) - Will help you stand out - Boosts your chance of landing a job - Will help you develop real engineering muscles like debugging, testing, understating large codebases - Start from the open source tools you daily use (like better-auth) - As long as technology exists, there will always be a problem to be solved/fixed/improved. - Leverage the time you procrastinate to explore and understand 2. Understanding the fundamentals matters and JavaScript built-in AI Web APIs (By Maye Edwin) - Like what the heck is Github, Git, docker. - And keeping up with the latest dev tools update is essential - Introduced to Built-in AI Web APIs such as Translator and Language Detector APIs which are game-changers. You can use these directly inside JavaScript with just a few lines of code.

here is the slide. Enjoy!

We rely so much on the internet today that it has become a basic necessity. It’s so deeply intertwined with our daily lives that having no internet now feels like losing something essential. I feel like the same thing is starting to happen with AI. AI is slowly becoming intertwined with our daily workflows, especially in software development, just like the internet did years ago. I often think about how people used to write code back in the day without having anything to quickly refer to,no Google, no Stack Overflow, no instant search, nothing. Now we’re seeing a similar shift with AI, especially in this LLMs / AI Agents era. I sometimes wonder how people used to build entire applications without relying on any AI tools, not even simple things like AI tab completions. And honestly, we’re already starting to feel the shift, much like how people back then felt when the internet was introduced. Btw, the Internet was officially introduced in 1983 -> 42 years ago 😂 What are your thoughts on this ?

🤣🤣🤣

See you guys at DevFest tomorrow 🕺

Gooood morning 🌄🌄

Is it recommended to use LLMs for converting natural language text to SQL query? 🤔 For instance, converting 'Show me the names of all customers in New York' into

SELECT name FROM customers WHERE city = 'New York'
