We entrepreneurs are an optimistic set; some would even say we have our head in the clouds. Some of us are cautious, some bean counters by nature and some of us are the dreamers. We are the people that can actually visualize the dream happening. With this near foolish optimism, there are 5 friends that every kind of entrepreneur should have. The Cheerleader.

When Greg Smith quit his job running a London based line of business for Goldman Sachs — and told the world why in an op-ed in the New York Times – he acted out the fantasy of everyone who’s ever wanted to tell their employer what they really think of them as they walk out the door.

Collaboration is the master skill that allows teams to function effectively.

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.

Organizations that embark on process journey initiate rigorous training programs to ensure that everyone is trained to perform activities associated with specific roles. While these initiatives start with a lot of zest, somewhere, it loses steam. I have seen training programs becoming more of a “necessary evil” over a period of time. Trainers take these trainings for granted and completely lose the sight of their objectives.

The Programmer's Paradox

MARCH 14, 2012

Computers are stupid. They take massive lists of instructions and mindlessly process them one by one. That’s purely mechanical, the result of billions of nearly invisible gates flip-flopping in a sea of electrons. A consequence set in motion by these sets of instructions. Software -- when it is written well -- can be quite intelligent. It can remember things for you, help you organize them, control devices and even assist you in interacting with other people.
