The podcast also touches on Fran's background and regional specialties in Spain.

Vaughn and John discuss API portfolios and monetization, covering topics such as API First, REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and using APIs with DDD. They explore the concept of ESBs, messaging in API development, and API design patterns. The conversation also delves into converting data sources into service-compatible formats, API marketplaces, and upcoming discussions on internal API and DDD.

Vaughn discusses generative AI with Cassidy Williams (@Cassidoo) regarding the SaaS AI product that she and her team have developed. They cover the challenges of generative AI that supports accuracy in content repurposing, such as: customers don't want content generated as a talk transcript with all images from the speaker's slide deck. Customers want the talk repurposed to contain the most salient points and related images that are suitable for, e.g., a blog post. What qualifies software as an AI, and what tools can help software engineers make the leap to AI application development? The two also discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of ChatGPT, and how ethical companies can develop AI products with trustworthy ethics.Read our Contenda-generated blog post "Reactive DDD Modeling Uncertainty" and try Contenda for yourself at: https://contenda.co Hosted on Acast.
