Say hello
Most notes I get fall into one of five buckets. All five are welcome, and telling me which one you are in gets you a faster, better answer.
01
You read something and want to push back.
Best possible email. Disagreement made the thesis what it is; write to vin@vinny.dev and I will respond.
02
You want me to speak.
Conferences, podcasts, internal engineering events. Send the date, the format, and who is in the room. The material that travels best: the agentic SDLC, the AI Operating Ledger, and what AI actually changes for engineering leaders.
03
You are exploring advisory.
I take a small number of advisory conversations with engineering and product leaders working through AI-era delivery. A few sentences of context is enough to start.
04
You are evaluating me.
For a role, a board seat, or a partnership: start with the thesis and the User Guide, then email me directly.
05
You are a journalist, podcast host, conference organizer, or event-credentialing representative.
Interviews, commentary, podcast invitations, event coverage, and credentials. The media page has biographies, press assets, editorial standards, and what to include in your note.
