Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Redmond, Washington, United States that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of products and services predominantly related to computing through its various product divisions. Established on April 4, 1975 to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800, Microsoft rose to dominate the home computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems.
Microsoft would also come to dominate the office suite market with Microsoft Office. The company has diversified in recent years into the video game industry with the Xbox and its successor, the Xbox 360 as well as into the consumer electronics and digital services market with Zune, MSN and the Windows Phone OS. The ensuing rise of stock in the company’s 1986 initial public offering (IPO) made an estimated three billionaires and 12,000 millionaires…
Prompt Performance Monitoring: Tracking LLM Response Quality
Three weeks after launching our AI customer support system, we noticed something strange. Response quality was degrading—slowly, almost imperceptibly. Users weren’t complaining yet, but satisfaction scores were dropping. The problem? We had no way to measure prompt performance. We were optimizing blind. That’s when I built a comprehensive prompt performance monitoring system. Figure 1: Prompt […]

The first time I watched a generative model produce coherent text from a simple prompt, I knew we had crossed a threshold that would reshape how we build software. After two decades of working with various AI and ML systems, from rule-based expert systems to deep learning pipelines, I can say with confidence that generative […]
Read more →Scaling Up Your Pods: How Horizontal Pod Autoscaling Wins
After two decades of managing containerized workloads across production environments, I’ve come to appreciate that the difference between a good Kubernetes deployment and a great one often comes down to how intelligently it responds to changing demand. Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) represents one of those fundamental capabilities that separates reactive operations from proactive infrastructure management. […]

A small but frequent annoyance in LINQ was finding the object with the max value. Previously, we had doing `OrderByDescending(x => x.Val).First()`, which is O(N log N). .NET 6 adds `MaxBy` and `MinBy`. This is O(N) and much more readable. Other additions include `Chunk()` for splitting lists into batches.
