" Cloud code wasn’t programmed to do this; it’s a very lightweight system where the model does most of the work. "

" Use custom systems for experts to quickly review and rate outputs, making feedback cycles much faster. "

" There is a large and growing capability overhang in these models we haven’t discovered yet. "

" We want to keep our content evergreen by focusing on people skills and critical thinking, not just tools. "

" All the complicated-sounding techniques are just ways to put the relevant text into the context window. "

" You don’t want to give too many options like rating from one to ten because consistency gets lost between different LLM calls. "

" Tool use and function calling are what make agents possible, letting models call tools and reason through tasks. "

" You can’t have good AI without good information architecture. "

" If you don’t jump in and learn, you’ll spend your time reading stuff on it and not really understand the tech. "

" Building generative AI tools is not scary, it’s just very different from the last 20 years of building products. "
