We've been quietly building. Now we're writing some of it down.
2050 has existed for six years. The site is becoming more public. Here's why.
2050 has been operating since 2019. We’ve spent most of that time doing the work - building software for clients, fixing things that were broken, wiring systems together, making old codebases liveable again.
We didn’t have much of a public presence. The clients didn’t need us to. The work found its way through referrals, existing relationships, and the occasional well-timed conversation.
That’s still the majority of how we work. But there’s a point where not being visible becomes its own kind of problem. If no one can find you, the clients who’d be a good fit can’t find you either.
So we’re making this more public.
The site you’re reading now is the start of that. We’ll write here about the work - the software patterns that keep appearing, the decisions that turn out to be harder than they look, the places where AI-assisted development genuinely helps and the places where it doesn’t.
Not every post will be substantial. Some will be short observations. Some will be longer arguments. We’ll try to make them worth the time.
If you’ve ended up here because you’ve got a software problem that needs someone senior to look at it - get in touch. That’s what the contact form is for.
If you’ve ended up here because you’re curious what we’re building - welcome. Stick around.
