We should, as software developers, be using LLMs sparingly and only for complex problems unsolvable by other means. The carbon cost is too high. It seems the problem you describe could be solved by a drop-down with typeahead and auto complete. For the Title, does it need to be discrete?

Is it cash incentives?

You commonly see people abstracting over EF and under utilising its features. Not taking advantage of Unit of Work to get transactions and also scoped caching. Entities get re-read in updates. And also, hiding the ability to just write a custom query with ease.

"Let's create a feedback loop where we update our prompts based on the quality of the results we get from the LLM ..."

Erm...

I have a similar thing with mosaic hops... I describe it as "bin juice" as it's like the smell when your bin gets a bit pungent 😄 I'll have to check for onions or armpits next time!

This also surely means Mosquera is a certainty and Eze may follow, but only if he falls on a triple letter score.

"Gyokeres will become Arsenal’s fifth summer signing, following the arrivals of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard and Noni Madueke." I think we seriously need to consider that Berta and Arteta are actually using Scrabble scores to influence who we sign this summer.

Is this the one where Jimmy Hill pronounces it staunchion?

It also means our ability to retain the ball from our own throw ins reduces to about 0.001% 🙄

Surely Arteta's nerds know these numbers?!
