No one would dispute that artificial intelligence (AI) is reimaging how businesses and entire industries operate. Yet, as the hype around AI and machine learning intensifies, so does the number of AI buzzwords designed lure and distract. When having discussions with AI vendors, it’s easy to be enticed by terms such as “sentient AI”, “large language models”, “virtual copilot”, and others.

Testing templates for generating HTML leads to tests that are very similar. Matteo Vaccari wisely likes to separate the common elements of tests from those that vary. He continues his article to show how he does this by parameterizing the tests. The resulting tests are easier to write, and more importantly, faster to understand and modify.

Your boss points out what’s going wrong more often than what’s going right. They nitpick your work, highlighting every possibility for improvement. Meetings sometimes feel like inquisitions. While a generally difficult boss might be challenging due to their mood swings, lack of clarity, or unpredictability, a highly critical boss consistently focuses on “the gap,” not the gain.

Facts, it has been said, are stubborn things. For generative AI, a stubborn fact is that it consumes very large quantities of compute cycles, data storage, network bandwidth, electrical power, and air conditioning. As CIOs respond to corporate mandates to “just do something” with genAI, many are launching cloud-based or on-premises initiatives. But while the payback promised by many genAI projects is nebulous, the costs of the infrastructure to run them is finite, and too often, unacceptably hi
