Operator rebuilding in public across sectors — AI agents, self-hosted infra, crypto tooling, ventures.
I'm Jordan Newell. I build and operate the systems behind ambitious ventures — a self-hosted fleet of AI agents, infrastructure across a dozen hosts, and a growing collection of software projects I'm bringing into the world.
I'm starting this blog at a moment of forced clarity: a critical-influx week where my main infrastructure host went down at the worst possible time, and I haven't shipped a product or flipped a business yet. Instead of treating that as a liability, I'm making it the premise.
This is the operator's desk. Field notes, post-mortems, manifestos when warranted.
Influences: Byrne Hobart's rigor, Justin Murphy's edge. The first is the default; the second is for claims worth stopping the room.
