'Great leaders help teams visualize a winning future. They arm their team with the courage and audacity to remove roadblocks and galvanize people toward “impossible” feats. Take John. John had been in tough situations before, but this time the cocktail of challenges was just too much.

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.

'28 eyes looked at me skeptically. They were convinced the task I had outlined for their strategy session was beyond their reach. “Just too hard,” they explained. “I’m not that creative,” said another. No time for second guessing. Sure this exercise had worked in other contexts, but I had never worked in this industry before.

'Ray had a long list of things that were wrong with his job. Most of us do. The most important work is never easy and sacrifice can sting. But as I listened, I was struck by the stark contrast between what was wrong and the deep loyalty to stay that went way past trappings of salary or benefits. So I shared that observation and asked the obvious question: What do you like most about your job?

'The question posed in the title of this post is one that I’ve heard asked a lot over the years. Usually, it refers to someone having the right mix of temperament, ethics, experience and the like that’s needed to be an effective leader.

'One of the ironic effects of the hyper-connected age we live in is that there is very little true listening going on. As I write about in my new book, there’s a lot of transient listening in which we’re so preoccupied with all the thoughts of our multi-tasking minds that we hear each other but don’t really listen. Higher up the value chain is transactional listening in which we’re listening with the goal of accomplishing something or solving a problem.

The Programmer's Paradox
OCTOBER 18, 2014
A common problem with large projects starts with adding new programmers. What happens is that the new coder bypasses the existing work and jumps right into adding a clump of code. Frequently, both to make their mark but also because of past experiences, they choose to construct the code in a brand new, unrelated way. Often, they'll justify this by saying that the existing code or conventions are bad.
