No drama, no sugarcoating. We own our wins and our screw-ups, and treat failure like free tuition.
Craftspeople

We’re not assembly-line coders. We build, we refine, and we don’t put a fresh coat of paint on bad code.

Falling behind? We leave that to others. Leveling up fast, chasing down answers, and never settling for “I don’t know.”
