The  @Life-With-Tim  channel has already surpassed 1,000 subscribers! Thanks to everyone for their support on this new channel.

Here's a recent video I posted you can check out to learn about how much garbage advice is out their on making money and what it actually takes. 

I just posted the first video on my second channel:  @Life-With-Tim . I'll be posting regularly about finance, investing and my journey as I become a digital nomad for the next 6 months. Any support would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks in advance and if you have any non-tech related content you'd like to see please comment your suggestions! 

Which programming language did you learn first? YouTube only allows 5 options - comment if yours is not on the list.

And remember,  Python is the greatest programming language of all time. If you disagree you suck at coding - sorry, it's science... 

Which title are you more likely to click on? Does the length of the video impact your interest? 

This one will be between 10-20 hours of content.

Hinting at a new video dropping soon ;) If you have other suggestions for titles let me know! 

Some of you may have seen the “Python AI Choose Your Own Adventure Game - Tutorial” I posted about 6 months ago. In that tutorial I showed you how to use RAG (retrieval augmented generation) to make a sweet game in Python. As a part of that video we worked with langchain and used a Vector Store database provided by DataStax!

Now for some BREAKING NEWS - DataStax, the generative AI data company, today
announced it’s teaming up with Langflow, a popular, open source visual framework for building retrieval augmented generation (RAG) applications.

Langflow makes it 100x easier and faster for any developer—experienced or new—to build
generative AI applications.

Working with LLMs isn’t the easiest thing in the world, yet it’s super cool and really expands the possibilities of what you can make.

However, you can spend days and weeks building your app, only to have issues- and it’s hard to know if it’s your code, the nature of RAG and hallucinations, or the infra pieces that are broken. The proliferation of tooling and capabilities is amazing to watch, but impossible for individual developers to navigate.

Here’s what you need to know about Langflow…

- Used for building GenAI and RAG apps with LangChain and pre-built components for any kind of app, API, or data source.

- You can easily drag and drop components, make connections, see how data will flow, and swap pieces in and out to iterate incredibly fast with fine-grained control over AI applications within seconds (instead of weeks and months).

- Langflow then creates the workflow code and LangChain objects you need to actually get into production.

This is a sponsored post to promote this framework but I do genuinely believe this can be a pretty game changing framework, otherwise I wouldn’t be sharing it with you. Not to mention it’s free to use, so you might as well just check it out!

How long do most people take to get a software developer job? Many might guess a few months, but the true answer? It's often YEARS. This long wait happens because they don't have enough real experience, they aren't connected with the right people, and it's tough to make their resumes stand out among so many.

But what if you had an edge over others?

I've spent 6 months crafting a unique software course. Here, it's not just about learning. It's about connecting you with experienced mentors and a network of companies eager to hire you right after graduating.

👉  https://coursecareers.com/a/techwithtim?course=software-dev-fundamentals 

I know the struggle of becoming a self taught developer, personally it took me years and tens of thousands of dollars, but the truth is it didn’t have to. I lacked a proper curriculum, network and the expert insight to accelerate my journey. 

That’s exactly why I teamed up with  @coursecareers  ,  @WebDevSimplified  ,  @codebreakthrough   and other industry experts to create this course!

We run you through all of the fundamentals of software development, including hundreds of quizzes, practice questions, entire projects and a comprehensive final exam so you can actually see how you perform and build your confidence as a developer. 

After mastering the fundamentals you enroll in a FREE software specialization of your choice including: Back-End, Front-End or DevOps so you have the specialized knowledge to stand out as an entry level candidate.

But we offer even more: Guidance on job hunting, tips for interviews, help with polishing your resume, and a dedicated platform where employers can find and reach out to you. Plus, you can join our community chat to connect with me, fellow learners, and our team of coaches.

We've designed this course with one aim: to help you secure that dream job. We are only successful if you are, and our sole goal is to help you land a job.
