Why we started ByteInk
The pattern we kept seeing in software projects before ByteInk, and the rules we work by because of it.
ByteInk TeamUpdated
Most software projects that fail have working code. The mistake happens earlier, when nobody checks whether the thing is worth building in that shape.
Before ByteInk we spent years building software at startups and at large companies, and we kept seeing the same pattern. Teams spent real money on systems that were more complicated than the problem, shipped half finished, or solved something users did not have.
ByteInk is built around a few principles:
- Simple systems over clever ones.
- Speed that does not create rework.
- AI applied to specific, measurable problems.
- Software that adapts as the business changes.
This blog is where we share what we learn along the way.
