Hello, World
Welcome to my digital garden.
As software engineers, we are standing at the precipice of a new era. The "Hello World" of today is not just printing string to a console—it's establishing a dialogue with a synthetic intelligence.
The Shift
Traditional engineering was deterministc. Input A always produced Output B. AI engineering is probabilistic. It requires a different mindset—one of evaluation, steering, and orchestration.
In this blog series, I will explore:
- Evals as Unit Tests: How to test the non-deterministic.
- UX for Agents: Designing for uncertainty.
- The AI Stack: Leaving the LAMP stack behind for Vector/Embeddings/Generation.
Stay tuned.
