An agent is a loop, not a chatbot. Reach for one only when a task is frequent, too varied for fixed rules, and safe enough to get wrong sometimes. go.upgradejs.com/395 #AIAgents

Skip the 1-10 rubric. Binary pass or fail gives an LLM judge a cleaner signal, and it scales the same human calibration that built the eval set. go.upgradejs.com/oci #LLMOps

Sandi Metz's limits are blunt and useful: classes under 100 lines, methods under 5, no more than 4 parameters. Ask a class what its job is, and if the answer needs an "and", you found the split. go.upgradejs.com/7oh #Refactoring

String interpolation inside a where clause is the classic Rails SQL injection. Pass the value as a bind parameter instead, then let Brakeman check the rest of the app. go.upgradejs.com/7ft #RubyOnRails

A Rails 4.2 app nobody wants to touch is a good candidate for a container. Start from Ubuntu, set DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive so Postgres stops prompting mid-build, and the whole setup ritual turns into a file. go.upgradejs.com/8lc #Docker #Rails

Give retrieval its own span: the query you sent, the documents that came back. Then a bad answer stops being a mystery and becomes one question, retrieval or generation. go.upgradejs.com/y86 #RAG

Not everything deserves a span. LLM calls, tool calls, retrieval, prompt version: yes. Generic infra spans: no, they bury the four things you actually need. go.upgradejs.com/don #LLMOps

Teams running agents in production do not pick one top-ranked model. They route different tasks to different models, and they stop upgrading once task completion stops moving. go.upgradejs.com/v21 #AIAgents

Classify and drop non-events early and the expensive part of an AI pipeline never sees them. Some errors still slip through, which is why a human reviews the flagged ones. go.upgradejs.com/3ac #DataEngineering

You do not have to hand-roll spans. One package plus an OTLP endpoint gets a full LLM trace into Phoenix or Langfuse without touching your agent code. go.upgradejs.com/0aq #LLMOps

30 to 40% of LLM-generated selectors fail on the first try. Blind retries do not help. Classify the failure (too narrow, too broad, wrong region) and cap it at 3 attempts before a human looks. go.upgradejs.com/z0w #WebScraping

An assessment is only useful if someone builds what it recommends. Ours ends with a roadmap, a security framework, and config files your team owns, ready to hand straight to implementation. go.upgradejs.com/9qc #AI

Sometimes the honest answer is that a script, a form change, or a better report beats a model. Deciding not to build the AI feature is a real outcome, not a failure. go.upgradejs.com/dlv #AIStrategy

The control surface for a ReAct agent is the system prompt and the tool schema. Ours refuses to save until the post has both a title and an image, and the tool rejects anything under 20 characters. go.upgradejs.com/xhd #AIAgents

Every LLM call in this pipeline returns structured output, not free text, and the agent loop is capped at a 7 minute budget. Hallucinations never reach the database. go.upgradejs.com/20a #DataEngineering
