'The post Linked In Is Now A Publishing Platform. Cool. But First Get Your Own Site. appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. I’ve been a LinkedIn “Influencer” for a year or so, and while the honorific is flattering, I’m afraid I’ve fallen down in my duties to post there. The platform has proven it has significant reach, and for folks like me, who thrive on attention for words written, it’s certainly an attractive place to write.

I am a lazy coder and data analyzer. I use text editing tools to search and replace and manipulate so I can then use a spreadsheet tool to break text into columns and rows. Then I can extract data or write code that follows patterns without a lot of manual work. If I am working on code, I can copy and paste it back into my text editor, remove the tabs, and then I have clean code.

One of my side projects is as an adviser and panelist for the non-profit Internet Bug Bounty (IBB). We recently added Adobe Flash Player as in scope for rewards. Earlier today, David Rude collected $10,000 for a vulnerability recently fixed in APSB13-28. My thoughts on this are too long to fit into a tweet, so I summarize them here: This shows that the IBB is serious about rewarding research which makes us all safer. $10,000 is a respectable reward by modern bug bounty program standards.

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.
