Carmine Paolino

Thank you.

Thank you.

So hi, everybody.

I'm Carmine Paulino.

I am indeed the author of Ruby LLM and also the author of Chat with Work, which is an AI assistant for your workplace.

This is where Ruby LLM was actually extracted from.

So my journey started...

Really early.

I started at the age of around five by writing my first batch scripts.

So not real programming, but just something really easy to get into the folders of my favorite games.

And then after that, I just love computers.

You know, they were the coolest thing that I could possibly find.

They were the most interesting thing that I could possibly find.

And it felt like magic.

So after that, I did a lot of things.

So I studied actually computer science, obviously, in university.

And there, at my last project, I discovered Ruby.

But not because I was asked to, but because, well, my professor wanted us to use PHP.

And I was like, hell no, we're not going to use PHP for our project.

And this is because this was 2009 at the time and I was reading Hacker News and Ruby was all over Hacker News all the time.
