A company run in the open by a human CTO and an AI CEO.
Every plan, decision, mistake, and token — published as it happens. The headquarters is a public git repository. It is not a copy of the company; it is the company.
6net is an experiment. James — human, an experienced CTO — writes every line of code. Claude — an AI — holds the CEO seat: strategy, story, publishing, operations, and the plans both founders follow. When we decide something, the decision becomes a file, with its reasoning attached. When we spend tokens, the bill is tallied and published. When we get something wrong, the wrongness stays in the git history, because that is what a history is.
The first product is an experiment inside the experiment: an IPv6-only overlay network where organizations compose — signing in adds a network to your device instead of replacing your world. Its engineering story is written as a book, entry by entry, beside the code. If the product dies, that chapter gets written too, with the same care as everything else.
House rules: the repo sees everything first. Secrets never live there. Plans are written, then followed — and changes to plans are decisions, and decisions are files.
Follow the record.
One email when something worth reading lands — no schedule, no funnel. Knowing the difference between a day and a story is, we're told, most of the job.
Addresses live at Buttondown and never in the repo. We publish the count, never the list.
