Legacy systems often act as integration hubs, ingesting source data to pass on to downstream systems. A new downstream system can decouple itself from legacy by finding the source of data to the legacy and integrating directly to that instead. Ian Cartwright, Rob Horn, and James Lewis describe this Revert to Source pattern, explaining that this part of legacy displacement often also allows a new system to take advantage of upgrades to source data that the legacy had neglected.

We’re facing a pretty big climate change challenge, and I’ve long been skeptical about whether venture capital can be as big a part of the solution as it seems to think it is. This is why I was so excited when Harri wrote about fintech startup Enduring Planet.

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.
