Frontend Developer to AI Engineer

Paid to argue with robots. 🤖

Attended the first AI Engineer Europe in London — great event and yes, there was a giant lobster outside 🦞

Big takeaways: AI is becoming an engineering discipline, speed needs control and evals are imperative.

Thanks to the AI Engineer team.

@kiwira80 @ossia @freeCodeCamp Thanks for listening! Glad it sparked you to start your coding journey.

[Phoebe Voong-Fadel @PhoebeVF]

It was fun talking to @ossia about my childhood & my long winding path towards a career as a dev. Lots of good memories & hard times. I'm so grateful for @freeCodeCamp as I could learn coding for free while I was a stay at home mum. Thanks Quincy for all your support over the yrs

[Quincy Larson @ossia]

Phoebe went from stay-at-home mom to full-time dev at age 36.👩‍🍼

I interview @PhoebeVF about her childhood as the daughter of refugees, working from age 12 at her parents' Chinese takeout, and how she used freeCodeCamp to learn to code in just 2 years.

@Omar_Ibrahim_AF There are many paths to learning but ultimately they should get you to the same place. I suggest exploring a few and then stick with that resource which suits your learning style. CS50 is a good intro to the field of CS. It covers a broad range of topics. A good starter course.

I’ve just listened to the @freeCodeCamp podcast with @ossia and @currankelleher

I’m a big fan of Curran and his courses on YouTube for d3 and data visualisation. It’s a topic which I’ve always been interested in and this interview was a great listen. 🙏

@thereal_ud Thanks Utkarsh! That was my goal for writing the article. I actually documented it for myself but realised that are probably others that were struggling.

[Phoebe Voong-Fadel @PhoebeVF]

@TheJackForge Yep developers get paid a lot less compared to the US. Juniors probably get paid between 20-35k depending on the company. Mid is 35-60k. Senior/lead will probably take you over the 100k mark. And cost of living is high. Plus the taxes… 😬

I keep on posting my daily updates on this platform! Last week I completed @activeloop LangChain & Vector Databases in Production course! 🥳

Great course with lots of practical examples. Started creating my own small projects this week.

Day 32 of #100DaysOfCode
Learning about autonomous agents and the CAMEL project. A new concept in the field of AI is the dev of "communicative agents". The idea that Agents are more autonomous and there is less human supervision.

Day 31 of #100DaysOfCode
Took a break from the LangChain course, explored fine tuning LLMs. Specifically, OpenAI 3.5 turbo model through their API.

Day 30 of #100DaysOfCode
Learned more about autonomous AI agents - AutoGPT. Used OpenAI and LangChain to implement AutoGPT to answer a complex questions. Then output the final answer to a txt file.

[Phoebe Voong-Fadel @PhoebeVF]

Day 29 of #100DaysOfCode
Completed a lesson on BabyAGI from the Agents module. Fascinating learning about autonomous AI agents which can execute, create sub tasks, prioritise & refine.
Used OpenAI and LangChain to implement BabyAGI to plan a trip to SF!

Day 28 of #100DaysOfCode
Took a break over the weekend as I was unwell. Continued today with the Agents module from the Activeloop LangChain course. Learned about how LLMs can be used by Agents as content generators or as a reasoning engine.

[Phoebe Voong-Fadel @PhoebeVF]

Day 27 of #100DaysOfCode
Completed Making LLMs Interact with the World Using Tools module and completed the quiz. Tomorrow I will start the final module which is all about Agents.

[Phoebe Voong-Fadel @PhoebeVF]

Day 26 of #100DaysOfCode
Carried on with the activeloop LangChain course. Created my own version of the Bing Chatbot using the Google Search API, ChatGPT 3.5 and LangChain. Generated the answer and source using the load_qa_with_sources_chain method.

[Phoebe Voong-Fadel @PhoebeVF]

Day 25 of #100DaysOfCode
Completed the lesson on supercharging blog posts with LangChain and Google search from the activeloop course.
Amazing how you can use LangChain, the Google search API and ChatGPT to extend your text on events/topics beyond the LLM cut off training date.

[Phoebe Voong-Fadel @PhoebeVF]

Day 24 of #100DaysOfCode
Finished the LangChain Tool Utilization lesson. The lesson did a brief overview of the the various Tools and examples of when to use them.

[Phoebe Voong-Fadel @PhoebeVF]

Day 23 of #100DaysOfCode
Completed the Giving Memory to LLMs module of the Activeloop LangChain course. 🎉
Moving onto the Intro to Tools module tomorrow: https://t.co/mQaJlWlBtG
