I launched 2701 Labs a couple of months ago, after sitting with the hunch for a while. It’s an AI engineering studio where I’m building with agent-native architectures. What that means exactly changes by the week.
As I mentioned elsewhere: the most important decisions of my life have all been hunches, and this one was the strongest yet.
Day to day I’m doing two things: experimenting with small AI products on very short iteration cycles, and helping companies actually get value out of AI, through technical due diligences and by working alongside internal teams. I’m having a lot of fun.
Site updates
I’ve given the “Uses” page a proper refresh. Back to Linux on a Framework Laptop, Claude Code, Omarchy (sorry), a hell of a lot of Obsidian, and a new Garmin to replace the Apple Watch.
Posted a new note about how coding agents have lowered the bar for building almost-disposable little apps.
Reading, watching, listening, working out
I’m in a re-reading phase. In the last few months I’ve re-read the LOTR trilogy and The Count of Monte Cristo. Right now I’m reading a new-ish Spanish translation of The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov, in paper, and I’m absolutely adoring it, even more than I did twenty years ago when I first read it.
I resubscribed to The New Yorker for long, slow reads. I’m genuinely surprised at how much of it I’m actually reading.
Lux by Rosalía is probably going to make her my top artist of the year. Again.
