Great overview Dave. Much respect for sharing your insight with the community. You could easily gatekeep but didn't.

Spot on. The gap between a LangChain demo and a production system is exactly where 90% of 'AI agencies' break. Good to see you consistently focused on the build, not the hype.

That was an amazing deep dive, thanks Dave! What is your take on frontend tools for human-in-the-loop interactions as suggested by the AG-UI protocol for real-time chat apps?

I like you Ebbelaar. You are never too groundbreaking but you talk a lot of sense and provide a lot of validation on best practice, and you are very easy to listen to. Thank you bro.

Thanks for your content Dave! Honestly, this channel feels like a corner of sanity while the AI world drowns in hype. I'd like to hear more about what medium-sized companies need from AI Engineers.

Dave is an amazing teacher. And his knowledge is extraordinary! You may feel like you’re going over the same things but for people who are new to this, it’s not repetitive.

Thanks Dave, I found you last week and love your videos. They have helped me understand the AI world without all the hype. You are a great teacher.

First time leaving a comment, but I appreciate all your videos. I like that you always focus on fundamentals and avoid hype. I'd love to see more on real production work, experiences, and challenges.

What could be better

This guy sucks? You never write Rust so it's normal that you'll introduce bugs... AI will never be able to replace hand-written code because it doesn't get edge cases.
