I guessed I missed the memo saying that ETL, Data Integration, and Data Quality are outdated terms (and technologies) and the new term used at least by Gartner and at O'Reilly Strata last week in NYC is Data Preparation. I can't say that I blame the industry because few executives understand data integration, ETL is associated with linear, long running data batch processing, and last.

It’s always interesting to see what happens when a high-profile CEO sells his company and then finishes up his earn-out period. There are a few different models: some individuals go buy an island, start making films or go on permanent vacation.

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.
