Introduction Startups are as rare as diamonds in the rough. However, the ones that are successful shape the tech scenarios as we speak. From basements of Silicon Valley to full-fledged corporate offices employing millions, the journey of a startup is a rollercoaster ride. It’s impossible to build such a journey without having an exceptional, avant-garde idea that when executed nearly perfectly transforms the way its users interact with their environment.

Anant Agarwal, an MIT professor and of the founders of the EdX educational platform, recently created a stir by saying that prompt engineering was the most important skill you could learn. And that you could learn the basics in two hours. Although I agree that designing good prompts for AI is an important skill, Agarwal overstates his case. But before discussing why, it’s important to think about what prompt engineering means.

Technology professionals developing generative AI applications are finding that there are big leaps from POCs and MVPs to production-ready applications. They're often developing using prompting, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and fine-tuning (up to and including Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF)), typically in that order. However, during development – and even more so once deployed to production – best practices for operating and improving generative AI applications are le

Then, of course, the AI takes on a life of its own and learns as it goes along. This is precisely why AI is revolutionizing the world of customer service and experience. Interacting with customers is central to many, many websites that offer different services or products to the public.

Who is software for? It’s an interesting question, because there’s an obvious answer. It’s for the users, right? If your job is to write software, then it’s implied that the most important thing you should care about is the experience people have when they use your software. I think this is a bit of an over-simplification, though. Yes, we build software for our users, but we also build it for ourselves.

AWS Glue is a service to implement ETL pipelines that can process large amounts of data. Glue has a feature called job bookmarks that keep track of which data is already processed and which data still needs to be processed by a job. For example, in the case of an S3 bucket as a data source, it keeps a list of what files are processed to prevent the re-processing of unchanged data in a bucket.
