DynamicWebPaige · x · 2026-08-13
Airbnb published a genuinely insightful post on eval-driven development.
The core takeaway is that a virtual judge that hasn't been calibrated is actually worse than having no judge at all. The author emphasizes the most fundamental yet critical step: read your data—all of it, as no framework can save you from skipping this.
The post outlines a complete evaluation workflow transitioning from programmatic checks to LLM-as-a-judge, and finally to human review.
