2701 Labs

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.

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.

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, on 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.
Watched The Pitt S02. Wow.
I have been working out at least 3 times a week for almost a year now, and it shows. I’m actually running a 10k race in Madrid this weekend!

I’ve been wanting to resurrect my site and blog more frequently for a while now, especially since I’ve mostly stopped using social networks.

I was waiting to have some posts or notes content, but that might take some time. So I’m starting with this, my first “Now” page and an “Uses” page.

At Vernon, I have been working on our Product Studio, Fenneth.
I am basically working full-time on Dripddit, our first business. My days are filled with PydanticAI (as well as OpenAI and Anthropic APIs), Django, Shopify, and SEO—and I haven’t been happier at work in a long, long time.
I still spend some time consulting for clients, and I am really looking forward to a tech due diligence project I’ll be working on at the end of the month. Really interesting AI company doing hard work.

This is month 4 since I basically stopped consuming social networks. I uninstalled Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube back in December. It was going to be only for a month but when that passed I just didn’t need to reinstall them. Somehow YouTube’s algorithm still kidnaps my brain through the browser though.
I subscribed to The Economist a couple of months ago, with the goal of reading long form but still current-ish news coverage. Unfortunately the weeklies are just piling up because I just don’t find the energy to read about the current state of the world.
Currently watching The White Lotus S03 and The Pitt, excruciatingly waiting for a new episode every week.
I am reading the first book in the Blackwater series, The Flood. Great escapist literature and the writing is superb, even translated into Spanish.
I have been pretty steadily going to the gym twice a week with my personal trainer, barely skipping any sessions. My body and my mind are happier than ever.
