Durable systems, built in the open
If you enjoy building things that other things stand on, this is that kind of work — with unusually little ceremony between an idea and shipped software.
Step 1 of 4
The technical thesis
One graph, many focused apps; storage the user owns; specifications that agents and humans both execute. Go on the backend, Angular/Ionic on the front, Markdown-and-YAML specs everywhere, AI agents doing the typing while architecture and taste stay human.
Step 2 of 4
Start with the open foundations
The infrastructure layer is open source and genuinely reusable outside this ecosystem: DALgo (storage independence),inGitDB (Git as a database),DataTug (data exploration),SpecScore (executable specifications). Reading any one of them tells you how the whole thing is built.
Step 3 of 4
How work actually happens
Specs first, agents second, review gates third. Features are specified as structured Markdown with lifecycles; AI agents implement against them; humans review at the gates. It's the most leveraged way to build I've ever worked in — and it's still early enough for you to shape it.
Step 4 of 4
What 'building with me' means
Today: open-source contribution, collaboration on a module, or joining as a founding engineer as the seed round lands. The bar is taste and systems thinking, not years of anything. The promise is the one behind every team I've built: you'll do the best work of your career here.
