#VoxxedDaysCERN26
Do you also dream about the 4-hour workweek? Ever wanted to go to Voxxed Days CERN without having to ask your boss for permission?
In this talk, I'll share my personal story: the story behind JobRunr, an open-source distributed job scheduler that now pays my bills! I'll explain why it makes sense to learn different programming languages, I'll tell you all about the highs and the lows I encountered during the development of JobRunr, I'll show you how open-source can be a marketing bliss and I'll enlighten you with my plans for the future.
After this session, you will know whether being a full-time open-source developer is something for you, how you can find product market fit and how you can also become your own boss!

LLMs accessing the database and intelligent agents that perform online purchases? The possibilities for AI in applications seem endless but so are their security and data privacy risks. In this session, we’ll address common issues such as prompt injection, key leakage, abuse of private customer data for model training, legal restrictions, and more. In addition, we will show that general security issues in your systems can also influence the behavior and outcome of LLMs.
During this session, you’ll get a solid overview of the vulnerabilities to avoid, strategies to ensure data privacy compliance and best practices for building secure LLM-powered applications.")
