Notable coverage

We are early. If you are writing about engineer hiring, AI-native development, or the future of contract work, we would love to talk. Reach out and we will share what we are seeing in our data, including week-over-week booking volume, replacement rates, and how AI tooling has compressed the average engagement length.

Pull-quote bank

“The traditional engineering hiring loop is 23 days and $4,700 of cost before the engineer ships their first PR. We make it two minutes and 48 hours.”

“Every engineer we onboard ships production code with AI tools as a baseline. It is not a filter. It is the floor.”

“Engineers should be paid for the work they shipped this week, this week. Net-30 is a relic.”

What we do not comment on

  • Specific customers or engagements without their written consent.
