We write Rails the way it was meant to be written. And we help engineering teams make the shift from writing code to reviewing it — the workflow where AI authors and engineers direct. Former GitLab and GitHub staff, Rails contributors, AI researchers.
Your Rails app has fat controllers, models that do everything, and a test suite that nobody trusts. You know it. Your engineers know it. It costs you more to change than it cost to build.
Meanwhile, your competitors' engineers don't open blank files anymore. They write specs, review diffs, and merge. AI does the authoring. That gap compounds every quarter.
Your competitors' engineers don't write code anymore.
They review it.
We fix both problems. Idiomatic Rails that your team can actually maintain. And the workflow shift that makes them twice as fast — permanently. You've been on the wrong side of both long enough.
We read your codebase and your workflow before writing a line. Rails architecture review and AI readiness assessment. No discovery phase that drags on for weeks — a straight answer on what's broken and what it'll take to fix it.
Idiomatic Rails refactor, greenfield app, or AI tooling integration — whichever you need, we ship it fast. Days, not weeks. Working software, not status reports.
Code your engineers understand. Workflows they actually use. You're not dependent on us forever — that's the point. We leave and your team is permanently faster.
We've shipped production software across industries that don't tolerate "move fast and break things."
We take ideas from napkin to production. We add features to existing apps. We fix architectures that have gone sideways. Whatever your Rails app needs, we've probably done it before and done it well.
GitLab, GitHub, Rails core. We know what idiomatic looks like in a codebase with a thousand contributors. We've maintained it, argued about it, and shipped features in it under deadline. That's what we bring to yours.
Our engineers run Claude Code, review diffs, and merge. No blank files. This is the workflow we help your team adopt — and it's not autocomplete, it's a fundamental shift in how software gets made. We've already made it. We'll show you how.
Not dependent on us. Your codebase cleaner. Your team faster. That's the exit condition. We're done when you don't need us anymore — and that's exactly what we're working toward from day one.
Following the conventions Rails was designed around: skinny controllers, models that own their data, service objects only when genuinely needed, Hotwire over React where Rails shines. It means a new engineer can open the codebase and understand it without a two-hour onboarding. Most Rails apps we see don't have that. We fix it.
Your engineers stop writing code. They write specs, review AI output, and merge. We set up the tooling — Claude Code, Cursor, the scaffolding that makes it all work — rebuild the workflow, and coach the team until that's just how they operate. Typically 4–8 weeks to get there, permanently faster after.
Yes. And you'll get AI-native workflows baked in from day one — so your team is reviewing AI-written code from the first sprint, not after a painful transition later.
Usually within days of signing. We don't have a 6-week onboarding process. We're engineers, not bureaucrats.
Absolutely. We integrate with your engineering team, follow your conventions, and write code that fits seamlessly into your codebase. For the AI transition, we work alongside your team — not instead of them.
We scope engagements and price them accordingly. No hourly billing games. You'll know what you're paying before we start.
Some of what we build, we ship for everyone. No subscription, no lock-in — just useful software you can run yourself.
Business management for professional services firms. Employee tracking, client management, work logging, and invoicing in one self-hosted system. Syncs with Asana, Linear, and your accounting software. AI-ready via MCP server. Your data, your infrastructure, no subscription fees.
Idiomatic Rails. AI-native workflows. Let's scope it.
