In 2015, I fell in love. This was when my love affair with tech began. I had always been fascinated by tech and innovation, but never to the extent that I would consider working in the field. In 2014, I surprisingly started working in a startup software development house, and was introduced to agile methods and the software development world. Later in 2015, I stumbled upon Zalando’s focus on autonomous teams and soon after began working in their newly opened Helsinki Tech Hub.

Learning how to use technology and learning how it works are two very different, yet critical, educational issues. It’s safe to say that today’s kids are using the latest smartphones, tablets, and laptops with little to no instructions. The need to teach our children how to use the latest tech toy is no longer necessary – the ubiquity and effect of these devices on our daily lives means they figure it out on their own.

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.

Microservices get a lot of traction these days. They allow multiple teams to work independently from each other, choose their own technology stacks and establish their own release cycles.
