WeWork
InVisionBetter, not just more.
We help you define what healthy looks like and a culture that supports it. When to think of debt (slop) as leverage and when its a liability, where agents run free and where judgment stays human.
From the lab
We run experiments internally so you don’t have to.
Sifting the hype to find what works and when.
Then implement tools to Ai smarter not harder.

AI and what it multiplies
AI is incredibly powerful alongside motivated, experienced, critically thinking contributors.
Production software is degrading monstrously in quality when any of these factors are missing.

Attention and follow-through
Nobody's short on ideas anymore. Everyone's short on attention.
Teams can spin up ten things in a week now. Picking the one that matters and actually seeing it through — that hasn't gotten any easier.

On debt as leverage
Not all debt is rot. Some of it is a bet you made on purpose — a shortcut that bought speed when speed was the whole point.
It turns into a liability the moment you can't name why it's there. So we write the why down, next to the shortcut, and revisit it on a cadence.
Healthy teams carry debt on purpose. Struggling ones just accumulate it.

Wireframing in TypeScript
Before I implement a component, I pretend it already exists and write the code I'd want to use.
Then I question every prop and remove anything that feels unnecessary.
It's wireframing, just with TypeScript instead of Figma.
