10 Production Products in 7 Months With 2 People: The Receipts

Patrick Wilson · June 9, 2026 · 6 min read

Velocity is easy to claim and hard to prove

Every shop says it ships fast. The word does no work anymore. So here is the version with receipts: the products, the stacks, and what "shipped" meant for each one. Two engineers, seven months, ten things in production.

We are not listing these to brag. We are listing them because a prospect deciding whether to hand us a build deserves to see the actual surface area, not an adjective.

What "shipped" means here

Shipped means deployed, on real infrastructure, doing real work. Not a demo behind a login we control. Not a Figma file. Infrastructure as code, a handover doc, and a URL.

A few of the ten:

The rest follow the same shape: a defined thing, built, deployed, handed over.

How two people do this

Three habits, not heroics.

We reuse the stack. Almost every build is TypeScript, Next.js, and AWS with Terraform or CDK. We are not relearning a toolchain each engagement. The boring consistency is the speed.

We scope hard and quote fixed. A fixed price forces a real scope conversation up front. That conversation is where most projects are won or lost. Open-ended time-and-materials lets scope drift; fixed price does not.

We demo weekly. Every week the client sees the thing running. That kills the six-week surprise where a project drifts off-target in silence.

What this is not

It is not "we cut corners to go fast." Several of these run inside or next to a security review. Cutting corners shows up the first time a SOC 2 questionnaire lands.

It is also not a promise that your build takes seven days. Our Web App engagements run 2 to 12 weeks depending on scope. The point of the receipts is narrower: when we say we ship production software in weeks, there are ten named products behind the sentence.

If you have a thing that needs building and you are tired of adjectives, book a 30-minute call. We will tell you which of the ten is the closest analog to your build and walk you through how it actually went.
