A one-person software company in the UK
LanceTek is one developer who writes the code, runs the servers and answers the email. You talk to the person doing the work from the first call to the handover.
Works in Python, TypeScript, PostgreSQL and Docker.
How LanceTek works with a business
Small phases, a demo at the end of each, and nothing kept on a developer's laptop.
- Plain English
- Scopes, Friday notes and handover docs are written for the owner, not for another developer.
- Your accounts
- Code, domains, servers and API keys sit in accounts you own from day one.
- One person
- No account managers or hand-offs between teams. The person on the call writes the code.
Handover checklist
- Repository in your GitHub
- Logins in your password manager
- Backup restored and checked
- Runbook in plain English
- 30 days of fixes agreed
The stack behind client software. Boring, well-documented tools another developer can pick up.
The homelab behind every build
Every server setup is rehearsed here first, restores included.
- Hypervisor
- Proxmox on two small machines.
- Backups
- Nightly copies to a separate box, restored to prove they work.
- Local AI
- Ollama on a GPU, for drafts that must stay in the building.
