When it comes to election security, it’s hard not to think of the United States as a proverbial dumpster fire. Kids as young as 11 are able to hack voting machines in fewer than 10 minutes. U.S. intelligence agencies warn that Russia plans to interfere with citizens casting votes, including through social-engineering disinformation campaigns. And while some states are taking steps to secure their voting processes, many are not.

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.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Striving for work-life balance isn’t a zero sum game. Being fully present wherever you are is what matters. Right up there with “win-win” in the office lexicon, you’ll be familiar with the tired term, “work-life balance.” But, in truth, there is no such thing. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the very idea is an insidious lie. It implies that “work” and “life” are two different things.

Over time, Ethernet speed transitions have been the primary driver for improving both the throughput and price-performance of datacenter networks. 400G Ethernet is the next major transition on this journey. While 100G Ethernet is still ramping up rapidly this year and next, it is projected that by the end of 2021 400G Ethernet will represent the majority of Ethernet bandwidth shipped.

I’m a big fan of automated testing. The math just works out. Why spend hours running a series of test cases when a computer can do it in seconds. With benefits like this, my zeal for automated testing can make it seem like I think that all testing should be automated. However, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. There is little room in software development for pure rote manual testing, but that’s not the only reason to manually test software.
