Tech Talk: Cloudflare D1 Crash-Course + AI-Assisted Coding (Sudip)

In this episode of London Tech Talk, Ken hosts Sudip to discuss two distinct technology topics. Ken begins by exploring Cloudflare D1, a serverless database solution built on SQLite, detailing its architecture, distribution, and use cases, particularly for indie developers and read-heavy applications. Sudip then shifts the focus to artificial intelligence in coding, discussing its evolution, potential impacts on critical thinking, and concerns about AI's self-referential learning cycles. The conversation covers AI's capabilities, limitations, and the importance of human oversight, with both hosts sharing personal experiences and insights on balancing AI assistance with maintaining essential skills.
