A valid component connection only says: this value fits the next component It does not say: this value is safe to influen
Comparison: Haystack 2.0 vs. RAGatouille 0.3 for Building High-Accuracy RAG Pipelines for Developer Docs Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard for building LLM-powered tools that answer questions using private or domain-specific data. For developer documentation (dev docs) — which includes technical jargon, versioned APIs, code snippets, and structured reference material —
Part 1 of 5 in The New Engineering Contract — what it means to lead engineers when AI is doing more of the coding. SWE-CI tested 18 AI models across 71 consecutive commits. Most broke something on commit 47 they'd already broken on commit 1. That's not an intelligence problem. That's a learning system that isn't learning. A paper made me uncomfortable this month. Not because of what it found about
