As a former teacher, I've seen firsthand that a student is only as good as the curriculum they are given. The same is true for AI. We often talk about AI models as if they're magical tools, but they're really just students, learning from the instruction and data we provide. If we give them a curriculum full of contradictory metrics, scattered data, and ambiguous logic, it's not the student who failed, but a lesson plan that sets them up for failure.

A customer came to me with a tricky request: they wanted near real-time visibility into FDA food recalls and safety alerts to reduce supply chain risks. On paper, it sounded simple: call the API, grab the data, sync it. But any developer who's built against a new API knows what comes next. Pagination doesn't behave the way you expect. Authentication throws curveballs. Rate limits block you just as tests start running.
