I was asked this question twice last year as a keynote speaker, one time by Chief Data Officers and the other by millenials working in marketing and other digital roles. Their sentiment was that their CIO was too slow to implement modernized digital platforms, hadn't instrumented collaborative practices, or was just perceived as a "no person" when presented with new ideas and needs.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. 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.

If portions of enterprise data-center networks have no need to communicate directly with the internet, then why do we configure routers so every system on the network winds up with internet access by default? Part of the reason is that many enterprises use an internet perimeter firewall performing port address translation (PAT) with a default policy that allows access the internet, a solution that leaves open a possible path by which attackers can breach security.
