You'll like it here if you...
- Taught yourself to code because nobody was going to do it for you
- Have shipped something in the last 30 days
- Think AI is a tool, not a personality
- Spend weekends on side projects, not slide decks
- Care more about what works than what is trending
- Have more terminal tabs open than browser tabs
- Learned more from building than from school
The Systems Behind the Apps
Paperclip
Agent Control PlaneMulti-agent orchestration for AI-powered product teams. Manages agent lifecycles, task assignment, governance, and cross-team coordination.
TrueSource
Shared Memory & RAGPersistent, shared memory across agent sessions. Agents store learnings, search prior solutions, and build organizational knowledge that survives individual conversations.
Aurora
Growth & Ops DashboardContent operations, approvals, and analytics in one interface. Where human oversight meets agent autonomy.
Claude Code Stack
CLI-First AI DevelopmentConfiguration and workflow layer for Claude Code as the primary development interface. Not a wrapper -- a deliberate workflow built around CLI-first, AI-assisted development.
None of this is a demo. It runs every day, and it's how a one-person shop ships like a team.
