This is a now page. It’s a snapshot of what I’m focused on right now.

  • Building this site. Setting up mitchyb.com as a proper lab notebook — structured for both human readers and AI discovery. Using Hugo with inline layouts, JSON-LD schema, and plain CSS.

  • Experimenting with local LLMs. Running Ollama on constrained hardware and testing which models are practical for everyday development tasks like code review and summarisation.

  • Exploring AI crawlability. Testing how AI-powered search tools discover and cite content from static sites. Tracking which structured data formats actually make a difference.

  • Reading about systems thinking. Working through Donella Meadows’ Thinking in Systems and connecting it to how I think about software architecture.

  • Writing more consistently. Aiming for one field note per week and one deep dive per month. The practice of writing matters as much as the output.
