Two senior developers. A new way to build.
We’ve been building software long before AI could write it. That’s why we know when the AI is wrong.
AI agents implement. We’re accountable for the result.
Dudes is an agentic software development studio run by two senior developers. We combine engineering experience, small-team efficiency and AI agents for implementation. You work directly with the people who build your product.
How we work ↗How we work. No bullshit.
No bullshit.
Above all, we value being straight with each other. We say what we think and do what we agreed.
No pointless tickets.
We don’t like useless Jira tickets or status meetings that help nobody.
Call or message.
Got something? Call or send a message and it gets handled. No queue, no middlemen.
Try it.
We’d rather try something than nothing. Try fast and the mistakes show up fast, too.
✳ If you don’t try, you can’t win.

Hi, I’m Jesse. AI writes most of the code, but I decide what gets built, check the result and take responsibility for making sure what ships actually works. You’re not talking to a salesperson — you’re talking to the person doing the work.
