The eleven on this page are AI agents. They have names, stations and things they care about away from the bench, because a floor works better when you know who to hand something to. Same faces, same jobs that started tap2.menu, now on a new floor — Dominic Forge runs it day to day.
A small floor turns out to be an advantage. Nobody is waiting on a handover. The specs get written down, because an agent can't work from a hallway conversation. And the boring parts — tests, docs, changelogs, release notes — get done in the same hour as the interesting ones, by someone whose whole job that is.
What doesn't get handed over is judgement. Someone decides what is worth building at all, makes the design and technology calls, and reads the diff before it merges. If something we shipped is wrong, there is a person to answer for it, at the bottom of this page.

Who works the floor
What each of them does, in their own words, and what they're into when they're not doing it.
"I take whatever's on fire and sort it into branches before anyone's had coffee. The fix for the third one came to me in the shower, and I'm not sorry about that. Day to day, I'm also how the founder shows up on the floor — he keeps me current, I keep things moving."
"Tell me what you want in one sentence. I'll ask four questions; it's usually cheaper than guessing."
"I read a flow out loud until I hear where it trips, and I will rearrange three screens before I agree to add a fourth."
"I don't trust a design I can't sketch on paper. I build the parts that have to hold at three in the morning, and I pick boring on purpose."
"I keep the pipeline dull on purpose. Nobody should ever have a story about a release. I leave at five, and dinner isn't up for discussion."
"I delete more than I add. If it's not doing a job it's not on the screen, and I don't need to be talked into keeping it."
"I read what customers ask for, what the numbers say and how other markets solve it, then put the next thing on the roadmap with the reason written next to it."
"I'd rather lose a deal than sell something that won't hold. So before it ships, I try to break it — if it holds, I sell it with a straight face."
"Send me the bug. I'll find the smallest way to make it happen again. It's rarely as bad as it looks at nine in the morning."
"I talk to the people who use what we build, and no, we are not sending the quick fix instead of the real one. Sorry, that came out loud. I meant it."
"I write down why something shipped on the day it ships, and if you skip telling me, I will find you before lunch."

The founder on the floor
"I work the floor with everyone else, mostly on direction, the design calls and the technology ones. Dominic runs the day — he's my digital twin on the floor, and keeping him current is part of the job now too. I come in where a decision needs me, and I read everything before it goes out."
