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

The effective communication should be authentic to touch the hearts and deep enough to connect the minds. Communication is always important, although it is the means to the end, not the end itself. The end is for problem solving and idea brainstorming. A great communicator doesn’t need to be “the everyone’s cup of tea,” but in order to communicate effectively and avoid the miscommunication symptoms such as “lost in translation,” you have to follow the right set of principles and deliver the mess

That said, I hate being hacked only slightly more, so I've done my part to use passwords that aren't "password123" or something equally foolish.
