I recently hosted an episode of Software Engineering Radio called "Eran Yahav on the Tabnine AI Coding Assistant"!
🚀 Hi! I'm a researcher, teacher, podcaster, and software developer!
Innovating in technical areas such as software engineering and software testing, I teach courses, conduct research, write papers and a blog, give presentations, create software, and serve organizations. Working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at Allegheny College, I am an associate editor for the Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, an academic editor for the PeerJ Computer Science journal, a program committee member for conferences like the International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation and the International Conference on Software Engineering, and a reviewer for journals like Transactions on Software Engineering and the Journal of Software Testing, Verification and Reliability. Along with media appearances on podcasts like Stack Overflow and Talk Python, I interview the world’s leading experts on software engineering as a co-host of Software Engineering Radio. You can learn more about me and my work by reading my biography, downloading my curriculum vitae, and subscribing to my mailing list.

I gotta say, my poster for the #PyconUS poster session is looking realllll cute.
I'd share it here, but that'd be spoilers. Come by on Sunday if you're attending, otherwise I'll share after!
Looking forward to seeing all you lovely folks at PyCon!

Just learned about GitHub Models. Very generous free tier to use many LLMs with just your GitHub account. Great for use in OSS projects and for tinkering.
