Make your incident webhook stupid-resilient. Never fail POST /alerts on Loki/Tempo errors β save the alert + endpoint + dashboard link first, enrich best-effort. And short-circuit test:true pings before they pollute your incident store.
Lessons learned from evaluation of #LLMzoomcamp projects
1. Tested keyword vs vector vs hybrid RRF on the same ground truth with hit-rate + MRR. Vector beat keyword, hybrid edged vector.
Conclusion: Ship the winner you measured, not the one you hoped for. #rag#aiengineering
5. 5 retrieval setups, paired bootstrap CIs on the difference, tie goes to simpler, winner confirmed once on held-out docs. Largest effect wasn't hybrid (+0.07), it was reranking (+0.095 MRR). Measure the stack. #rag#aiengineering
6. Answer #evaluation: 5 docs vs 3 docs tied, so ship 3 β cheaper. Judge model != answer model, relevance + support + deterministic retrieved, tokens logged. Cost is a metric, not an afterthought. #llm
3. Text search won MRR 0.858 vs hybrid 0.829 because synthetic questions echoed doc wording. Shipped hybrid anyway for paraphrase robustness β unproven. If your eval favors lexical, say so. Bias disclosure > winner-picking. #llm#rag
I just submitted Homework 1 of #AIdevtools zoomcamp 2026! Built a Household Chores Manager in #Django for small household + garden + cat ππ± Zero Django coding β working app in a few steps. How? π #aiengineering#vibecoding#opencode
#Kanban Board = To do / Today / This week / Doing / Done, with ?area=cat filter + POST move actions.
Generic CBVs for CRUD, one BoardView for grouping.
Biggest lesson: deferring email/push to v2 saved the homework. Scoping IS engineering.
What would you have cut? #aiengineering
Takeaways:
- Vague prompt β chaos; spec β leverage
- Small tasks + acceptance criteria = AI ships clean
- settings.py, runserver, test β you can learn Django BY building
Repo: github.com/dmytrovoytko/ai-dβ¦
What should I build for HW2? π #AIdevtools#agentic#coding
Trust but verify:
manage.py check β migrate β manage.py test green (6 tests)
+ test-client script for board grouping / move / filter.
Overdue edge cases: done+past = NOT overdue, no date = NOT overdue.
