Late last year I had the chance to attend DevTernity , an all-remote generalist software development conference. The first day was the main conference day, with the second (optional) day offering a choice of workshops by some of the speakers. It was a great conference. In this post I’ll cover off some points of interest from some of the talks I chose to attend, and reflect on the remote conference experience.

Imagine you were responsible for monitoring the safety of a subway system. Where would you begin? Most likely, you'd start by thinking about the key risks like collision or derailment, contemplate what causal factors like scheduling software and track conditions might contribute to bad outcomes, and institute processes and metrics to detect if those situations arose.

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.
