Hi, I'm Matt.
I work with founders as a part-time CTO. I help decide what's worth building, build it quickly with AI coding agents, and keep it secure and running once customers depend on it.
The name is a nod to everyone who has ever said "this internet thing will never work." Sometimes they're right about an idea. It's much cheaper to find that out in the first week than after the build.

A few things I hold to
- Evidence before codeTalk to customers, check the numbers, read the licence terms. Then build.
- Stop numbers firstWe agree what would make us stop before we start, so the decision isn't emotional later.
- AI with supervisionAgents write a lot of the code. Every change is specified, tested and reviewed.
- You own it allYour GitHub, your cloud accounts, your data, your customers. From day one.
Nobody wants to hear "we told you this would happen" in month six.
Plenty of products that fail were in trouble from the first week. Nobody had asked customers to pay, the data couldn't be used commercially, or a free competitor was already there. My job is to find that out in week one, while it's cheap to change course.

Ninety minutes, free, with an idea or a product. You'll leave with a one-page brief, whether or not we work together.
