Building an agent factory in my basement.

Many agents, self-healing infra, metrics over code.

Kiter when the wind is right. The factory runs itself in the meantime, with a little oversight.

Who

I used to be scared of building. Not the building itself, the being wrong afterwards. Change was expensive, so I spent more time controlling chaos around my code than shipping the product.

That block is gone. I run an agent factory from a server in my basement: a fleet of AI agents and services with their own metrics, monitoring and self-healing, so I spend my time on what gets built rather than on keeping it alive. The most useful tool I own is a fleet controller that is one HTML file past 10,000 lines. It is not best practice. It works.

Before this: CTO at Diwala, consultant at Bekk, CS at NTNU.

What I write about

  1. Agent factories

    Running many agents and services without care and feeding. The basement server, ClickHouse, the fleet controller.

  2. Engineering taste

    What good engineering means when change is cheap. Best practice, tech debt, over-engineering, when not to optimise.

  3. Building in the open

    Concrete things I built, what broke, and what the data said.

  4. Product over tech

    The consultant habit of chasing tech instead of shipping product. I had it for years.
