What is the point in sharing your idea with the world, if other people are just going to copy it anyway? Whether it is your idea or an innovation, you might be scared that once it is out there, someone else will take it and you will be left with nothing. However, that is not how innovation works. In most cases, innovation and creative ideas add more value to the market or industry than previously existed.

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.

Have you ever heard of someone trying to “game the system”? This refers to the process whereby it is clear what the targets for success are, and an individual, group or company does just enough to qualify for meeting those specific criteria. Even if it means that more important overall success criteria suffer as a result. This can also be the reason why company performance begins to suffer over time, as more bureaucratic processes are introduced to manage employee performance.
