Traditional software expects 100% passing tests. In LLM-powered systems, that’s not just unrealistic — it’s a feature, not a bug. Eric Ma leads research data science in Moderna’s data science and AI group, and over breakfast at SciPy we explored why AI products break the old rules, what skills different personas bring (and miss), and how to keep systems alive after the launch hype fades.
