'You team has questions they’re afraid to ask. They’ve got limited information, but they figure if you wanted to tell them you would. They worry that raising the issue will look like insubordination, or somehow make them look less in your eyes. Maybe you can share, maybe you can’t. But that doesn’t make the questions go away.

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.

The easy answer is that you should use the one that makes sense in your situation, a methodology you feel comfortable using and one that will work in your organization.

'Too many leaders run through their days without taking time to consider how and why they lead as they do. Days become months and months become years. Pressures, grooming, and politics all create counter-pressures to authenticity. Articulating what you value, helps you to stay true to what you believe. Every year, I take time out to work on my leadership credo.

'Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future. Marilyn Fergusen. Leadership matters! Most people at least implicitly understand this concept and people that have studied and practiced leadership understand this concept at a deeper level. As an example, General Stanley McChrystal’s main takeaway from 34 years of service in the United States Army as a commander and leader, as he describes in his book, “ My Share of the Task ” is that leadership matters.

'A few years ago, I had the opportunity to attend a Disney Institute program in Orlando. One of the topics we covered concerned “wows”. There are lots of wows that we experience every day, but in the entertainment and theme park business, most people think of the big wows. They think of the big, new attraction, the super cool computer-generated imagery of a movie, or that monster roller-coaster that raises your heart rate.

AUGUST 4, 2014
Programming a computer is the act of building up a large number of instructions for a machine to follow based on ‘primitive’ operations and underlying libraries. These instructions or ‘algorithms’ are always computed rigorously, which is occasionally not what we intended. Thus ‘bugs’ may interfere with the user’s objectives, but they will not harm the machine itself (although they can occasionally damage peripherals).
