Key ideas I picked up at the @LangChain conference this week: "AI engineering is data science. Look at your data." — @sh_reya & @HamelHusain "Data strategy *before* agents." — @AndrewYNg "Coding agents are the new substrate." — @levie "Context + memory is the new moat." — @cj_mongodb Blog coming soon...
