Notes from inside
other people's systems.
What we write about is what we run into: legacy systems nobody wants to touch, integrations that fail quietly, and the difference between software that demos and software that survives a Monday.
Nothing published here yet
The writing goes up on the company LinkedIn Page and appears here automatically. In the meantime it is on LinkedIn, and the case studies cover the same ground in more depth.
Why these live on LinkedIn first
The conversations that make an article worth writing happen there — a warehouse manager arguing with a point in the comments is more useful feedback than any draft review. So that is where they go up.
They are listed here because a LinkedIn post is only as findable as LinkedIn's decisions about it. This page is the part we control: plain HTML, no sign-in wall, no feed algorithm between you and the work — and the link to the full piece is always one click away.
Written from the work
Every article comes out of something that actually broke, shipped, or surprised us on a real system.
No client details
Same rule as the case studies: names, volumes and dollar figures stay with the clients they belong to.
Opinions, marked as such
Where an article argues for an approach, it says so — and says what it would cost you to disagree.
