Introduction: Multi-turn conversations are where LLM applications become truly useful. Users don’t just ask single questions—they refine, follow up, reference previous context, and expect the assistant to remember what was discussed. Building effective multi-turn systems requires careful attention to context management, history compression, turn-taking logic, and graceful handling of topic changes. This guide covers practical […]

Design Thinking in the Age of AI: Why Human-Centered Product Development Matters More Than Ever
The resurgence of design thinking in enterprise software development might seem paradoxical in an era dominated by AI-generated solutions. Yet after witnessing countless projects, the truth is clear: AI makes technical implementation easier while understanding user needs becomes harder. The 5-Phase Design Thinking Framework Why Design Thinking Matters More in the AI Era The proliferation […]
Read more →LLM Model Selection: Choosing the Right Model for Every Task
Introduction: Choosing the right LLM for your task is one of the most impactful decisions you’ll make. Use a model that’s too small and you’ll get poor quality. Use one that’s too large and you’ll burn through budget while waiting for slow responses. The landscape changes constantly—new models launch monthly, pricing shifts, and capabilities evolve. […]
Read more →Structured Generation Techniques: Getting Reliable JSON from LLMs
Introduction: Getting LLMs to output valid JSON, XML, or other structured formats is surprisingly difficult. Models hallucinate extra fields, forget closing brackets, and produce malformed output that breaks downstream systems. Prompt engineering helps but doesn’t guarantee valid output. This guide covers techniques for reliable structured generation: using native JSON mode and structured outputs, constrained decoding […]

The traditional approach to security—treating it as a final checkpoint before deployment—has become a liability in modern software delivery. After two decades of building enterprise systems, I’ve witnessed the painful evolution from “security as an afterthought” to “security as code.” In 2025, DevSecOps isn’t just a best practice; it’s a survival requirement for any organization […]
