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.

I made a lifestyle change a few months back, eschewing late night television in favor of reading in bed, part of a personal challenge to read 50 (!) books this year. But in so doing I noticed that my indoor lighting options sucked. I tried to support my overhead lighting with a handheld portable torch device. And when that didn’t alleviate the problem I opted to replace my light bulbs with industrial strength artificial suns that give off enough light to land a plane.

My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity to name a few." - Brene Brown.

Introduction. Language is the primary tool that humans use for communication. It acts as a medium to convey feelings, and information. When it comes to us humans, using language comes naturally as we are adept at understanding the ‘context’ and ‘meaning’ behind the words. But the same rule doesn’t apply to computers. For computers, text and spoken word is just a character string and sound respectively.
