Hello from 137Foundry
We're 137Foundry — a small studio that builds web applications, AI integrations, and the kind of internal automation that makes a business actually run.
This Tumblr is the team blog. The main site at 137foundry.com covers our services and case studies in their finished form; this is the looser space — half-shaped ideas, working notes, problems we hit in client work and how we ended up solving them. The kind of thing that doesn't quite fit on the main blog yet but is too interesting not to write down.
A rough idea of what to expect here:
Engineering notes — odd bugs, unexpected platform behaviors, things we learned from a postmortem
AI and automation perspectives — what we're actually shipping in client work, what's overhyped, what's genuinely useful
Hot takes — opinions on web dev tooling, framework drama, the state of the developer ecosystem
Behind-the-scenes — process posts about how we scope projects, write proposals, structure engagements
We post when we have something to share, not on a schedule. If you're a founder or operator thinking about a build, the front door is the main site or our about page — happy to talk.
If you're a fellow practitioner, follow along and argue with us. We learn faster that way.
