And worse yet, how many times has the utterance of that sentence out loud sent the utterer and all those within earshot down a huge black hole of negativism? Too many times, I know.

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.

Compiles but doesn't run correctly 3.
