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.

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.

It could be something as simple as fashion, a street sign, or as intricate as architecture. Japanese design has long been admired for its minimalist aesthetic and attention to detail. The clean lines, harmonious colors, and the use of natural materials creates a sense of tranquility and elegance that captivates the beholder.
