Welcome to ODevs

The fourth installment of the Build the Future talk series is here.

If you caught “How to Vibe Code Responsibly,” “The Art of Using Some AI,” or “To Give An Agent A Workspace,” you know we like to show our work. This time, most of it is on screen.

By now you’ve seen the demos. Claude adds motion. Claude renders an explainer. Cool clip, scroll on. So what?

Here’s what: at PETE, video quietly took over how Alex works. He uses it to understand what his agents actually did. To get his team on board with an idea. To teach customers. To help those customers bring their own companies and leadership along. And on side projects, to market without a marketing team.

In this talk, Alex answers the “so what” with the videos themselves, and shows what changes when a polished video costs a few dollars to make instead of a production budget.

Whether you’re a developer, a marketer, a founder, or just someone trying to figure out what AI is actually good for, come see for yourself. Bring popcorn. 🍿

Whether you’re building your first app, navigating your first job, or just trying to make sense of all the data around you — learning SQL will save you hours and make you way more effective.

In this session, we’ll walk through the essentials of SQL in a hands-on, no-pressure format. You’ll connect to a real dataset, write actual queries, and start seeing patterns in data that were just noise before.

We’ll cover:

• Pulling and filtering rows (SELECT, WHERE)
• Sorting and slicing data (ORDER BY, LIMIT)
• Counting, summing, and grouping
• Joining multiple tables to build richer results
• Writing logic into your queries (CASE, filters, basic metrics)

This is a working session. You’ll be querying from the start using a simple browser-based tool.

Who this is for: If you’re early in your dev journey and want to be more fluent in data — this is for you. Even if you’ve never touched SQL. Even if you’ve forgotten everything from that one data class.

If you’re a few steps ahead, come sharpen your skills and help others along.

**Important** Bring a laptop. We will be using a web based tool so nothing to install.
