James Ward gave a great presentation on Heroku. The server of choice for Facebook developement. He commented on some attendees not being familiar with all the buzzwords he used. So we thought of a Buzzword Bingo game.
I think having a handout with the most common buzzwords especially any the speaker is likely to use would be useful. I have always thought having a handout about the speaker and topic would be a good idea. I have never had the time to actually create such a useful…

Cursor has introduces a new approach to minimize the context size of requests sent to large language models.
