I’ll never forget the look on my first mortgage clients’ faces as they signed for their new home – the joy and relief washing over them in equal measure. After weeks of exhausting back-and-forth requests and paperwork transferred in ways that seem naively unsecure by today’s standards, their prize was the key to the front door. Since then, automation has filled the gap in improving customer experience and security.

At the turn of the 20th century, economists predicted that living a life of leisure would be the ultimate aspiration for the elite. These same economists suggested that those who were able to take more time off from work would be considered the most successful. Now the inverse seems to be the case. Today, those who are seen to exert more effort are deemed to have greater relevance.

Perception matters, particularly for internal IT organizations. While CIOs may be acutely aware of the essential value their teams create, that value isn’t always evident to stakeholders and clients. We may hope that the work speaks for itself, but the reality is, IT leaders must communicate IT’s accomplishments in a way that people can understand why and how it matters to them.

Companies can take eight steps to make these systems greener: Use existing large generative models, don’t generate your own; fine-tune train existing models; use energy-conserving computational methods; use a large model only when it offers significant value; be discerning about when you use generative AI; evaluate the energy sources of your cloud provider or data center; re-use model

A temporal dead zone (TDZ) is the area of a block where a variable is inaccessible until the moment the computer completely initializes it with a value. A block is a pair of braces ( {…} ) used to group multiple statements. The temporal Dead Zone is the period of time during which the let and const declarations cannot be accessed.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Thanks to modern search, we don’t have to remember facts as much because we know we can “Google it,” and we spend significantly less time researching questions because someone somewhere has answered it online.

Those incidents are expensive: over 60% cost more than $100,000, while 15% set their companies back close to $1 million. To put this in perspective, in 2019, only 39% of incidents cost more than $100,000 so the trend lines aren’t moving in the right direction.

At the high level, you have code that you packaged and released. Sometimes you need to just make a simple fix to that ‘exact’ code. You need to ensure though that the code you are working on is exactly and only the code that you released.
