Markdown is the Studio b. publication for technical founders and operators who actually have to make the software work in production. Postmortems, infrastructure notes, the architectural decisions with the trade-offs still named. Every post is something that was actually deployed, broke, or got fixed — written by the people who fixed it.

I'm Publishing in Public So I Have to Finish ThingsI started Markdown because I was tired of finishing things in private. Here is what "finishing in private" looked like: I'd ship something — a feature, a system, a decision — and then move on. No record of what worked. No record of what didn't. The knowledge lived in a memory file or a session transcript or just in my head, and a month later I'd have to reconstruct it from scratch because I couldn't find the original reasoning.
The second reason is simpler: I want to find other operators. Not conference-circuit operators. Not people who talk about operations. People who actually run things — ERP migrations at 2 AM, warehouse software that has to survive the holiday peak, CI/CD pipelines that eat your weekend when they break.
// What Studio b. ships
Continuous-goods WMS for distributors who sell by the foot, yard, or kilogram. The things generic WMS counts wrong: container tracking, partial-cut inventory, DRP, ATP. Running at Heritage Fabrics in production.

acuops.com →We built this to run our own marketing. Now we sell it. Detects signals from X, LinkedIn, and GitHub. Drafts newsletter issues and social content in a calibrated voice. Routes through Slack for approval before anything publishes.
