Calm Under Pressure: Ending the Year Without the Fire Drills

From the outside looking in, I have seen that year end in financial services is not for the faint-hearted.

This is precisely when IT needs to be at its calmest.

Theory to Turbulence: Building a Developer-Friendly E2E Testing Framework for Chaos Platform

Chaos fault validation must be safe, predictable, and measurable. High setup friction blocks adoption and slows feedback loops. API-driven execution beats manual YAML workflows. Real-time logs and smart target discovery speed debugging. Dual-phase validation ensures impact and recovery. Strong DX enables faster, scalable chaos testing. As an enterprise chaos engineering platform vendor, validating chaos faults is not optional — it’s foundational.

In this episode of the ShipTalk Podcast, host Dewan Ahmed (Principal Developer Advocate at Harness) sits down with Evgeny Ilinykh (Founder of GuidedMind.ai and former Tesla Engineering Manager) to move past the AI hype and get into the engineering reality of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). If your AI agents are hallucinating, the problem probably isn't your model—it’s your retrieval layer. Evgeny breaks down how to turn the "black box" of LLMs into a transparent, production-ready system that developers can actually trust.
