Consulting
Quality, AI, and Developer Relations (DevRel) consulting: product strategy, architecture reviews, training, speaking, and honest feedback.
Software so bad, it's good.
We help teams understand why software, AI systems, and engineering organizations fail—and what to do next.
Why Bad Software?
Most teams know when quality is slipping. Releases get slower. Bugs escape. Tests become noisy. AI-generated code adds speed, but also uncertainty. Confidence drops.
The hard part is knowing why.
The Bad Software Company helps teams investigate the technical, organizational, and human systems behind software failure—so they can make better decisions, improve reliability, and build software they can trust.
