A small software company for work that has to hold up.
WSB Labs LLC builds and maintains open source libraries, flight controller firmware and its own software products.
How the company works
Architecture, implementation and operations stay together rather than splitting across handoffs, which keeps the loop between a design decision and its behavior in production short.
Open source
Libraries and firmware published under permissive licenses, maintained in public, and used by other developers in their own systems.
Products
Software the company owns, builds and runs itself, earning subscription revenue directly from its users.
Where the work comes from
The same problem shows up across trading, flight control and language models: an input that will not behave, and a system downstream that has to depend on it anyway.
Broker protocols change underneath you and expect a client to keep working through a reconnect. Inertial sensors drift, barometers are noisy, and a flight controller has to make sense of both within a single control loop, without an operating system. Language models return something different every time you ask. In each case the interesting engineering is not the happy path, it is the validation, the versioning and the behavior when the input is wrong.
That is the work WSB Labs takes on.
