AI, LoRA and fine-tuning

Getting my hands dirty with adapters and fine-tuning, instead of only calling someone else’s model over an API.

Jev

TypeSafe’s first System One model. Unstructured state in, typed decisions out. Fast, structured calls that software can act on without parsing a paragraph first.

Modernizing the stack customer workloads run on. This one has never had a finish line and probably never will.

What the team needs to become

More people is the easy answer. The harder one is which skills actually matter in 2027, and which ones I would be hiring for out of muscle memory.

Budget season

ARR, P&L, headcount math. The business turns out to be a distributed system too, with worse observability and a feedback loop measured in quarters.

The Lean Startup

Eric Ries. Build, measure, learn, and how much of it survives contact with an enterprise roadmap.
