Prompt engineering helps you write better prompts—but it doesn’t help you change them safely. This article explores a common production failure where a simple variable rename breaks every live call, and introduces a lightweight static analysis tool that treats prompts like contracts, catching breaking changes before they ship.

Most LLM applications need a clear workflow, not an autonomous agent. Here's how to build one in plain Python.

If you have ever wanted to actually build an LLM inference runtime yourself — pack your own weights, own every barrier, capture your own CUDA graphs — this is what that journey looks like on an H100. A step-by-step tour of a small runtime called annotated-llm-runtime, and the three bugs that produced most of the annotations.

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol. 1 #M2] - Every RAG system is built in three engineering layers stacked on one LLM call: prompt (the call itself), context (what fills the model’s window), loop (when the next call fires and when it stops).
