Yesterday “Doug,” a participant in one of our Winning Well workshops, asked, “Karin, if I were to walk into your office right now with the goal of convincing you I’m a rock star, what behaviors would get your attention?”.

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.

Whenever I evaluate tech, all I usually see are the great things about it. It doesn’t matter if it is a database, a web framework, a programming language, a library, etc. Those who talk about tech tend to be either fans of it or the creators of that technology. It is in their best interests to get people to use it. Emphasizing the positive aspects of a piece of technology helps do that.
