Bits of Chris: The Podcast for Augmented Engineers

AI can't replace you.

But you need to adapt how you work.

Augmented Engineers invest their time in learning, thinking, creativity, and soft skills.

They leverage AI tools for what LLMs are good at - distillation, retrieval, boiler plate generation.

While they focus on amplifying their unique, human strengths - thinking, creativity, empathy.

Hosted by Chris Lettieri, a Staff Data Engineer optimizing large time series datasets for deep learning, the Bits of Chris Podcast is the show for Staff+ engineers interested in deep learning, soft skills, building their second brains, and amplifying their humanity to future-proof their careers.

Follow along to become an Augmented Engineer.

Remember - Augment, Stay Human.
