'A recent study by the Association for Change Management Professionals (ACMP) shows that 73% of change management professionals surveyed also have other, non-change-related job duties. I suspect for many of the respondents, the “other” job duties are really their primary job, and those who consider themselves change agents do so because they’ve realized change management is a necessary function of their primary job.

I’ve been obsessed with Wikipedia for the past ten years. Occasionally I find some good articles worth sharing and that’s why I created the wikiphilia Twitter handle. Just a long stream of stuff that for one reason or another may be interesting. It’s also a bunch of friends posting links. Anyway, the tragedy is that there’s 800 tweets but only 70 followers, so you should follow it now.

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.

We first filter the queryset by the id or slug and then check if the queryset exists. If so, then we return the object otherwise we return none. Here is an example of how this looks in Python: models = MyModel.objects.filter(id=24) if len(models) > 0: return models[0] else: return 'could not find model'.

'It’s become conventional wisdom that in order to get people excited about the present, you should talk about the future. You should have a vision of where you’re aspiring to go and communicate it clearly to all the stakeholders. Well, the conventional wisdom is true, but the practice is rare. As important as vision is to us, the act of having and communicating vision is mysterious and even intimidating to most.
