A few years ago I wasn’t sure, who was going to win, Golang seemed to be popular, and still is for that matter. When I first wrote a little Golang (~2+ years ago) I was just trying to see what the hype was all about. The funny thing is, at the time, and today, it […] The post Why did Golang lose to Rust for Data Engineering? appeared first on Confessions of a Data Guy.

If you’ve worked in data long enough, then you’ve likely come across the term change data capture. Often called CDC, change data capture involves tracking and recording changes in a database as they happen, and then transmitting these changes to designated targets. This can be crucial because some pipelines, in particular batch pipelines, don’t capture… Read more The post Terms You Should Know If You’re Planning To Use Change Data Capture appeared first on Seattle D

To accurately answer business questions using LLMs, companies must augment models with their data. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a popular solution to this problem, as it integrates the organization’s factual, real-time data into the prompt for the LLM. While the adoption of RAG has increased, an open question remains: How do enterprises know how effective their system is?

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.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
