Hybrid Intelligence: Marrying Deterministic Code with LLMs for Robust Software Development
Balancing Rule-Driven Precision with Generative Flexibility Executive Summary Traditional software, built solely on deterministic, rule-based logic, guarantees reliability and predictability but often struggles to adapt. Large language models (LLMs), by contrast, offer flexibility and cognitive capabilities but can be unpredictable. A hybrid approach — combining deterministic code with LLM-driven reasoning — yields systems that […]
QuickSight Quickstart: From Blank AWS Account to Published Dashboards in One Command
The missing link for enterprise Quicksight Development The Problem — Automating QuickSight Is Still Awkward QuickSight is pay-as-you-go BI, but its deployment story lags behind the rest of AWS. A single dashboard hides dozens of interlocked artefacts — data sources, datasets, analyses, themes, RDS/VPC plumbing, IAM policies, and invisible dependencies such as SPICE refresh schedules. […]
