From risk to reward: Mastering the art of adopting emerging technologies

And always monitor cost, performance and quality. 

Wait, there’s more… 

99.999% of your patterns, reference architectures/implementations and best practices will need to evolve over the next couple of years. 

Why? 

• The technology is simply too young to lock into. 
• Platforms will evolve to incorporate many of the customizations and integrations initially required to be built by your team (remember: replaceable, not reusable). 
• Security will continually evolve and mature requiring updates along the way. 
• Others will build upon the basics to offer even greater capabilities (e.g., look at what LangChain and AutoGen have done for genAl). 

When you get into a rhythm of embracing emerging, bleeding-edge technology, there’s only one thing left to say: 

One of the most rewarding things about working in technology is the surprise advancements that take the industry by storm.
