LLMs don’t fail because they’re unpredictable
They fail when they generate without the right context
If your system isn’t built to retrieve relevant, you’re just getting confident guesses
That’s where RAG matters
Not as a model trick, but as the control plane for what the model is allowed to see
Stop writing input validation in your main function!
In Ep. 55 of @tebeka.bsky.social Shorts, learn how to implement the flag.Value interface in Go to build custom command-line flags (like dates!) with out-of-the-box validation.

🚀 Tebeka Shorts #54!
In this episode, @tebeka.bsky.social shows a cleaner, more maintainable way to work with regular expressions in #golang, by naming your capture groups instead of relying on positions.

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time
Most staff augmentation stops at placement.
That’s where problems begin.
At Ardan Labs, we do it differently. Structured onboarding built for real impact.
Bring in experienced engineers in Go, Rust, & Kubernetes who integrate faster & deliver sooner. Let’s talk: www.ardanlabs.com/staff-augmen...
In underfunded fields, people tend to do their own work. In overfunded fields, people pay others to do everything, including “their” research and writing.
It’s not an accident that AI is an overfunded field that grew out of other overfunded fields.
מזכיר לי את הבדיחה שכשהילד הראשון בולע מטבע רצים איתו למיון. כשהשני בולע מטבע, מחכים שיצא. כשהשלישי בולע מטבע מורידים לו את זה מדמי הכיס.

When it was slow to write code, it was slow to accumulate technical debt. What is it about LLMs that won't result in accumulating technical debt even faster than before?
A thousand times this.
