AE is a software development, data science, and design agency. That part is common. The rest is extraordinary. Founded in 2016, AE has bootstrapped its way to 150+ individuals working to increase human agency through technology. No venture capital. No private equity. No outside shareholders. This allows a longtermist perspective for clients and employees that leads to unparalleled thought-partnership and creativity. Some of the profits from our consulting business are channeled into skunkworks - internal, agency increasing projects we incubate, turning our world-class team into founders themselves. Some are kept and some are sold, like EletricSMS! Profits from these ventures are deployed towards our internal research efforts to make AI not kill us all, taking a neglected approaches approach. Let our agency increase yours.

Attaboy Randy! We at AE Studio are all about allowing AI to improve our agency, in whatever way possible and Randy has taken that to heart. For current clients, don't worry! We have solid quality controls in place.
I had a crazy realization this week that ~98% of my code over the past month has been written by AI and how empowering that transition has been.
?? "Every startup needs a CTO" - is this Silicon Valley gospel actually hurting founders? Let's bust a myth: Just because you need someone to code your product doesn't mean you need to rush into a CTO partnership. Before you start hunting for your Wozniak, ask yourself: ?? Ready to share your vision's steering wheel? (A CTO isn't just writing code - they're shaping your company's future) ?? Can you survive the 3AM crisis moments together... for years? ?? How sure are you about their technical chops? (Spoiler: Those initial interviews rarely tell the full story) ?? Are they truly built for startup chaos? (Hint: Being great at Google ≠ Being great at a startup) ?? Are you choosing them for their brilliance... or their budget-friendliness? Here's the plot twist: Sometimes the smartest move isn't hiring a CTO at all. At AE Studio, we offer a different path: World-class development talent that: Scales with your needs Brings diverse technical expertise Launches your product without the long-term commitment Preserves your equity and vision Why lock yourself into a marriage when you could have a dream team on speed dial? ?? ?? Hot Take: Would you rather have one permanent CTO or access to an entire Swiss Army knife of tech talent? Why don't you find out?

?? "That Will Never Work" Imagine telling someone in 1903: "That rickety contraption that flew for 12 seconds? It'll revolutionize global travel." They'd laugh you out of the room. But here's the thing about breakthrough technologies: They always start out looking like toys. ?? Remember the internet? dial-up noises intensify "Why would anyone need email?" "Who wants to shop online?" "That AOL thing is just a fad" Fast forward to 2024: You're probably reading this on a pocket supercomputer while ordering lunch, checking stocks, and booking a ride - all at once! History doesn't just rhyme. It breakdances. ?? Today, we're hearing the same skepticism about: AI (just 2 years post-ChatGPT!) Brain-Computer Interfaces Human augmentation tech But here's the mind-bending truth: We're only 1% of the way there. Let that sink in. Everything we've achieved with AI? 1%. Those BCIs helping paralyzed people move robotic limbs? 1%. The revolution in human agency technology? You guessed it - 1%. And when we reach our current goals? We'll still be just 1% of the way to what comes next. That's the beauty of exponential growth. ?? The future belongs to those who can see past the awkward early stages of revolutionary tech. To those who understand that today's "impractical toy" is tomorrow's industry standard. ?? What technology are you skeptical about today that might be ubiquitous tomorrow? #Innovation #FutureOfTech #AI #BCI #TechnologyEvolution P.S. Remember to laugh next time someone says "that will never work." They probably said the same thing about smartphones. ??
?? "What if we gave customers more control?" That's the question that sparked a $25M revolution. Here's the story ?? Picture this: It's 2019. A startup founder is burning the midnight oil, drowning in customer service tickets for her vitamin subscription business. Her crime? Running a successful company. Her punishment? Endless nights of manual subscription management. Enter Wesley, our PM (and her roommate), watching this nightly ritual of exhaustion. The problem wasn't the business. It was that customers had zero control over their subscriptions. Every change, no matter how small, required a support ticket. That's when Wesley had a radical idea: What if customers could manage everything... through text messages? ?? Conventional wisdom said: "Don't give customers too much control. They'll cancel!" Wesley's response? "If we treat people well and give them transparency over their money, they'll stick around longer." Spoiler alert: He was right. We built ElectricSMS - a simple platform that let customers skip, revise, or reschedule orders with a quick text. No apps. No passwords. No hassle. The results? - 22,000+ happy users - $25M+ in processed revenue - 56 merchant partnerships - Plummeting churn rates - One founder who could finally sleep ?? Then something magical happened... ReCharge (15,000+ brands, 50M+ subscribers) called. They loved our vision. They made an offer. We accepted. The moral? When you empower people, everyone wins. ?? What customer pain point keeps YOU up at night? Maybe there's a revolutionary solution hiding in plain sight. #StartupStory #CustomerExperience #Innovation #Entrepreneurship P.S. We're just getting started. Our Skunkworks team is cooking up the next big thing. Stay tuned... ?? Read our full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gHHi4KBw
?? The Myth of the "10x Developer" In 1995, Steve Jobs noted that while most fields have a 2:1 ratio between average and best performers, in software it could be 50:1 or higher. But here's what everyone gets wrong about "10x developers" ?? 1. They don't appear fully-formed 2. "10x" is actually thinking too small The truth? In today's AI-powered world, we're seeing exponential rather than linear gains. Just look at medicine: from accidental penicillin to brain-controlled robotic limbs in under a century. The real unicorns aren't just fast coders. They're innovators who: - Embrace growth mindset - Take ownership - Master emerging tech - Think differently What's your take on the "10x developer" concept? Has AI changed your view on developer productivity? Read more at our blog here: https://lnkd.in/gB8gun6x #TechInnovation #SoftwareDevelopment #AIinTech #Engineering
With AI, keep it secret doesn’t mean keep it safe. Ever wondered what goes on inside an AI's "mind"? We did too! That's why AE Studio partnered with Goodfire to build a platform to democratize AI interpretability. ?? It lets developers peek inside, tweak, and steer AI models at scale. The result? More reliable, customizable, and explainable AI. You can use the research preview (https://goodfire.ai/) to decode Llama 3's internal "language". See and adjust the model’s features and watch AI behavior change in real-time. Why it matters: This isn't just tech advancement. It's about safer AI. Better alignment and a flourishing future for humanity. Now, we're curious: How do you think this deeper understanding of AI could shape our technological future?
