Delve 23: Let's Build a Modern ML Microservice Application - Part 10, Improving DevX with AI

"Code is read much more often than it is written." - Guido van Rossum

Greetings data delvers! It has been a while since we last delved into modern ML microservices. In part nine of this series we looked at optimizing our docker container setup. Since then, AI of course has become a much more prominent tool in the software engineering space. While there has been much commentary about how AI can lead to developer burnout, for this delve I want to take a look at how AI can actually improve the developer experience!

Delve 21: A Local Claude Code

"The right tool doesn't just make a job easier; it changes how you think about the problem." - Gemini 3

Hello data delvers! Though I am cautiously skeptical of the hype around AI, one area that I have seen my own productivity increase is by leveraging AI as a pair programmer. Up until this point, I have primarily relied on Github Copilot as my AI assistant. However, I recently gave Claude Code a try at work and was pleasantly surprised at its ability to go beyond what I had seen from Copilot and really "pair" with me. Based on these results, I resolved to set it up on my own machine to use for my personal projects. However, not wanting to spend money on tokens I wanted to be able to run an LLM locally and connect it to Claude Code. Fortunately with the latest release of Ollama this is a pretty straightforward thing to do!
