In Part 1, I suggested a fairly simple approach to interviewing developers: prepare properly, make the process clear, and let candidates discuss code they understand. Then explore the decisions behind it. I'm now researching how parts of that process could be…
In the first StyloMail article, I used Jev to ask specific questions about email and get typed, probabilistic answers back. Nimble, from Bespoke Labs, brings that technique to a model I can host myself through Ollama. From C#, I can send the same kind of state…
Bit of an odd one today; thought I'd share how I spec new work. The text below is NOT an article, it's a research paper which I'll convert to a spec. I spent about 3 days so far on the idea. See Part 1 for how this started. Part 2 covers using Nimble from C#,…
Scott Galloway | Hands-on Engineering Leader | Principal Engineer | Systems Architect | AI Systems Engineer I build systems, and I lead the people who build them. Across more than 30 years in software, I have worked as a developer, architect, engineering lead,…

Every recruitment site performs the same little confidence trick: Please upload your CV. Splendid. Now type your CV into these boxes. Name. Email. Phone. GitHub. Current employer. Describe your leadership. Do you need sponsorship? What salary do you want?…
Yes, I'm getting on the Jev bandwagon. I wanted to see how far I could get using it to build a behavioural spam-blocking proxy in .NET Core. Something that looks at mail in both directions: what arrives in your inbox, and what leaves an account that might have…
A résumé should work like a scientific paper: human-written prose for communication, machine-readable structure for discovery, and references that connect claims to evidence. As I once more hunt for my next paying gig (LinkedIn), I again face my nemesis:…
The same four-part shape keeps appearing across StyloBot: establish a base, retain the useful delta, measure drift, and consolidate when the evidence warrants it. Compression is not a component; it is a property of the whole system. The behavioural model…
Part of the Stylo.Bot release series. Behaviour-Aware ASP.NET UI covers the server-rendered dashboard surface; Finding and Fixing Unbounded Growth covers the reliability discipline behind bounded state; Learning to Get Faster covers the earlier adaptive-cache…
