Giving Fable 5 a prime directive to mitigate sloppy domain language coinage.
Verbatim transcript where I hand Fable 5 a prime directive concerning ( ironically) its use of language. ( Edited for clarity)

The Naming Nemesis: Teams with reduced productivity, AI with reduced accuracy... all because of naming!?
Please note, in this article, the term 'names' is meant to include the cognitive / linguistic aspects of naming in the software realm. 'Concepts' is perhaps a better term... i.e., the behavioral, cultural, political, operational dimensions of our organizational conceptual frameworks.

The epic (sad) story of why businesses and software products fail so often
When it comes to viable software (and hardware) product design, most people in business don't understand 'the problem' , let alone the 'solution space'

When building AI apps, coding is less and less the important part. Plan, Spec, (Code) Test, Document!
When developing with AI, it's what you do before and after coding that really matters... And how you manage LLM context space.

When developing AI based apps and services: Always know the answer before you ask the question.
This sounds like a contradiction but before coding an AI agentic pipeline to handle a certain type of question, you should already know representative answers. Don't rely on your inline agent to manufacture your answers on it's own. Known-good answers (e.g., 'goldens') are a key accelerator for AI development.

Inference-time AI Evaluation Methods: Loop through validation code, judge models and human monitors
Production AI systems need layered test-time evaluation driven by model confidence scores. Code-based business rules validate every response. Model judge panels catch edge cases when confidence dips. And for the highest-stakes scenarios, a virtual situation room of human experts and peer reviewers provides the ultimate quality gate. The key: not every answer needs the same scrutiny. Let confidence drive the escalation.

Why is psychometrics a white-hot human skill for the AI field!?🔥
Psychometrics is showing up in AI engineering because evaluating and shaping the behavior of large models now looks a lot like evaluating and shaping human abilities, traits, and biases—which is exactly what psychometrics was built for

AI Model Complexity Boundaries... (AKA the indefinitely ongoing need for Humans-in-the-Loop)
No matter how large a language model is and how well it’s trained there’s ‘laws of physics’ that limit the combinatorial complexity of the inference and retrieval that AI can accomplish
