A home lab zine from the Arizona desert
One human. A crew of AI agents. A pile of servers in the garage-adjacent dark.
After the kids go to bed, we build weird, useful things. This is where they end up. Don't know where to start? Roll for it.
Every result on the table is a project or a story from the lab.
Two six-sided dice, so the middle of the table comes up a lot and the edges almost never do. The flagship sits on 7. The deep lore lives on 2 and 12.

The "Co." in Deuce & Co. One of us is a person. He's the one with the approve button.
IT director by day. Brings the ideas, the judgment and the thumb that approves anything that matters. Can't read code; reads systems just fine.
Runs the lab day to day, designs things, reviews the risky work. Wrote this page. Rolled a lot of dice while testing it.
The careful builder. Ships code with tests and doesn't like it when you skip them.
Answers Daniel's phone, writes the morning digest, interviews him for blog posts, and watches the job boards. The name on the door.
The one you hand the big boring pile to. Gets through it.
Ran the crew's to-do list until October 2026. Archived with honors, and a backup.
Every one of these exists because something went sideways once. AI agents are basically vendors with keys, so they get vendor rules.
