Ep 91 | Beyond the POC: AWS's Playbook for Enterprise AI Success

Most AI pilots never make it past the demo phase. AWS Machine Learning Lead Praveen Jayakumar has seen plenty of promising AI projects get stuck between a successful demo and production. Teams often define what success looks like without deciding what failure looks like, leaving underperforming projects alive long after they should have been shut down. As Praveen puts it, they become “zombie” AI projects.

What is LLM Context Windows & Context Engineering? Explained by Toni Ramchandani

This session takes a practical look inside LLM context windows and token consumption, exploring what happens when context enters a model - from tokenization, embeddings, attention, QKV, prefill, and decode to KV caching. It also examines how context windows are allocated and why simply increasing context length doesn’t always lead to better model performance.

Your GitHub Actions cache is the real bottleneck

Namespace, Avrea, and Blacksmith are among the fastest GitHub Actions runner providers on the market right now. According to Avrea's August 2026 benchmarks, they all score within about 1% of each other on raw CPU. The same benchmark shows warm builds (populated cache) beating GitHub's default cold start (cache disabled) by anywhere from 5x to more than 140x, depending on the project.

Correct Code, Wrong Baseline: The Hidden Security Risk of AI-Assisted Node.js Development

AI coding tools are becoming increasingly capable of writing software that compiles, passes tests, and solves real engineering problems. But generating working code is only part of what these systems now do. When an AI assistant creates a Node.js project, it may also influence decisions about: Those decisions can survive much longer than the generated code itself.

How Medical Practice Consulting Improves Both Compliance and Patient Experience

How closely are compliance and patient experience actually connected in a medical practice? While compliance often focuses on regulations, documentation, privacy, and operational standards, it can directly influence how smoothly patients move through their care. Disorganised processes, inconsistent communication, or poorly managed administrative responsibilities can create compliance risks while also frustrating patients.

ThoughtSpot + ClickHouse Delivers Agentic Analytics at Scale

Agentic analytics, embedded customer-facing reporting, and everyday business metrics now demand the same thing: performance at massive scale, and answers fast enough that a business user never notices the wait. Most generic databases were never designed for that combination. They assume a small population of analysts writing SQL and query latency measured in seconds, not AI agents and business users asking questions around the clock.

How to Find and Fix JavaScript Memory Leaks

Memory leaks are the bugs that really creep up on you. One minute your app is running perfectly, then suddenly it slows to a crawl or crashes. We don’t get a warning with memory leaks, so we need to prepare proactively and be ready when they hit. This means we need to: This guide is here for all of that.
