With AI agents, product quality reaches a high standard even in early stages.
Polished v1 products are becoming the norm, not the exception.
AI enables rapid iteration through simulated scenarios and faster feedback loops, accelerating learning and improvement even before real users engage.

I’ve noticed I can work for hours if I'm enjoying it. When I’m curious or interested, it doesn’t feel hard. But if that interest isn’t there, even easy tasks feel tiring. It’s less about the workload, and more about whether I'm into it. Work needs to have some spark, or it just drains me.

As I remembered her, I was struck by a quiet realization - we become who we are through others. Who we become is not ours alone, it belongs to all those who walked with us.

Prompt engineering bridges the gap between LLMs and end users. It identifies user needs and provides use cases for LLMs. Prompt design requires trial & error. By specifying concrete constraints and expected output formats, LLMs can generate more relevant and precise responses. Relatively new field.

With Prompt Engineering, you can quickly test and refine prompts, achieving cost-effectiveness as it requires no additional model training and GPU management. In contrast, Fine-Tuning demands significant computational resources and can take days of training time.

Sometimes team activities seem to progress slowly. Work alone can feel attractively fast. But be patient and stay with the team. We can learn a lot from the process of working together. And when success comes, it is great to have companions to share it with.

Gen AI technology rapidly evolves, and APIs are frequently updated. When incorporating LLMs into applications, being mindful of 'Layering and Interface Abstraction' helps build resilience to change. Clean Architecture remains highly relevant today.

The functional library Purify (purify-ts) is used in my current work. Today, I wrote code using the Either monad. The functional approach enables us to write fluent and robust code. I made it through the release this week.

In Scrum, it is important to prioritize the most critical tasks first. How can we achieve the most valuable part as quickly as possible? Task priorities are always changing. Avoid the “everything is top priority” trap and focus resources on what truly matters.

A function combinator controls flow in functional programming. It has no variables or business logic, only structuring functions through composition or sequencing. This ensures declarative, modular flow while reinforcing abstraction and reusability.
