When something works in a workshop, it gets a number and goes in the log, the prompt, the setup, and the thing it replaced. This is that log, verbatim.

Built lean before lean was fashionable

We’ve built useful software against much bigger odds.

Nick Horob and Jaryd Krishnan built Harvest Profit into a leading farm-management software business with a six-person team and $280,000 in outside funding. They competed with companies employing 10 to 20× more people and, in some cases, raising roughly 100× more capital before John Deere acquired Harvest Profit in 2020.

Nerd Out carries forward the same belief: stay close to the problem, use technology well, and build genuinely useful products and businesses without a bloated team or budget.
