// our_story

We build the software
that runs things.

By Accident Solutions is the engineering half of By Accident. The agency side markets businesses; we build the systems those businesses run on. Same people, same DNA, different weapon.

// our_approach

Real software,
on a real URL.

Default mode: working software on a real URL early, evolving in plain sight. When the right call is a Figma click-through first — for stakeholder validation, an investor demo, an alignment call before commit — we'll ship that too. The deliverable matches the engagement, not the other way around.

AI is part of how we work — code review, test drafts, log triage, and a real share of generation when it earns its place. The mix shifts with the work: internal tools lean on AI more, money-moving paths get more human review. Either way, every line in production is one we can read and defend.

Working URL, not slides

You see the build running on a real URL as soon as there's something to look at — and on every meaningful change after. No "pending review" screens, no interactive Figmas passed off as builds.

Own Your Stack

You get the repo, the keys, the docs, the deploy pipeline. We leave you with a system, not a dependency.

AI as Infrastructure

We use AI to move faster — code review, test generation, log analysis. We do not use AI to hide who wrote the code.

// stack_we_use

Boring tech, picked on purpose.

We pitch the stack we already know in production. Each tool earns its slot — no resume-driven dependencies.

// this_site

We eat our own cooking.

This site is one of the stacks we ship — Nuxt + TypeScript fit a fast, owned marketing site. Other projects pick different tools (WordPress and WooCommerce for content and commerce, Shopify for storefronts, custom Postgres apps for software). The handover hygiene stays the same.

Let's build
something real.

No pitch decks. No committees. A focused conversation about what you need built, who uses it, and what it has to do.
