Ep72: Live Coding Fails and Fixes + Why LLMs Lose the Plot

Listen Later

My recap of virtual presentations, live streams, and workshop support — sharing wins, lessons from a humbling live coding session, and a fascinating article on solving long-running LLM memory problems.

Highlights:

  • Delivered a virtual meetup for the San Francisco ACM on building knowledge graphs with the Neo4j GraphRAG Python package (code repository)
  • Helped as a TA during a Road to Nodes AI workshop covering MCP server integrations with Neo4j.
  • Attempted a live stream refactoring Postgres to Neo4j using OGM — ran into challenges that revealed documentation gaps and learning opportunities
  • Progress on the AI Java book with a productive working session
  • Shared a blog post by James Dunham: "Long Running LLM Conversations Need Working Memory, Not Just More Context" — which mirrors issues encountered in a prior RPG project where LLMs lost story continuity over time
  • Upcoming: Road to Nodes AI workshop on long-term memory & agentic workflows (free, virtual)
  • Upcoming: NODES AI virtual conference — April 15th (free)
