field memo

most companies ship a glossy handbook. i prefer a field note—small enough to fit a pocket, sharp enough to steer every decision. this is the lens i use to build, learn, and stay a step ahead of my own disbelief.

our values

humans first, always

algorithms can spot patterns you describe; only people notice the things you never mention. observation, not instruction, is how real problems surface—and how they get solved.

architecture over keystrokes

coding is turning into urban planning. draw a clear blueprint, and the machines will raise the skyline while you're refilling coffee. keystrokes are cheap; structure is leverage.

ship > talk

meetings without artifacts are polite theft. every huddle ends with a pull‑request, prototype, or metric that moved. bragging rights belong to the closer—not the chatter.

evaluate or die

“it works on my prompt” is a relic. test every prompt across models, tasks, and edge cases until the edges feel round. specify success criteria, iterate, evaluate sensitivity, and benchmark performance—all before you ship. see prompt-engineering best practices↗, PromptBench evaluation framework↗, and the prompt sensitivity↗ study.

the max‑ai habit

language models are wind for modern sailors: invisible, relentless, free. automate the repetitive, delegate the fuzzy, save human focus for judgment calls.

why ai employees matter

dashboards describe reality; agents reshape it. they hold full context—channels, meetings, notes, intent—then close loops, pinging humans only when judgment beats automation. in a world that never clocks out, that's table stakes.

culture beats
