Yesterday was Boston Code Camp 36 hard to believe it has been going on for 20+ years now. For me it is one of those regular events for the Boston tech community that is well worth spending a Saturday attending.
It was nice to see a lot of regular faces and meet some new people.

Talk: Azure OpenAI Patterns for Software Engineers
This was my first time co-presenting with Juan Pablo Garcia Gonzalez. We had some good questions and an engaged audience (which always makes it more fun).
I mentioned a demo where the workflow has the LLM generate SQL - that is this demo: ChatGPT + Enterprise data with Azure OpenAI and Cognitive Search. It is on my list to review. The file that has does the majority of the SQL generation prompting is chatstructured.py.
