For Sophisticated Problems
Because sometimes the dumbest solution is the smartest choice.
We believe in the power of stupid simple solutions.
And because we're not smart enough to hide our code (and don't want to), our Dumb Software is open source. No over-engineering, no complexity - just pure, unadulterated simplicity that somehow gets the job done. Like using a rock as a paperweight: it's not elegant, but hey, the papers aren't going anywhere.
Each piece of software is carefully crafted to be as straightforward as humanly possible. Like a michelin star restaurant serving chicken nuggets - Sophisticatedly Simple.
The masterminds (or lack thereof) behind the dumbness.
Full stack engineer, selfhoster, opensource advocate, tech enthusiast. If I'm not doom scrolling through repos on the Githubs, you'll probably find me caffeinating, climbing some rocks, or vibing out at a concert. Let's build something awesome ✌🏻
I grew up around Seattle but now live in Missouri. I'm a private jet pilot by trade but love tech and have always been into building computers, having a home server, etc. This project has been an amazing step for me, seeing the positive response from everyone is a great motivator and I hope we can really foster a community concentrated around DumbWare.
Professional Server Hugger and Datacenter Resident from the land of cacti and melting CPUs (Arizona). You'll usually find me sweet-talking servers into their racks or giving them pep talks when they're feeling down. Sometimes I write code that's dumb, but my true love is making sure our infrastructure is online.. hopefully. When I'm not whispering sweet nothings to motherboards, I'm probably thinking of the next dumb thing to make.
We're always looking for more dumbasses to join the team. If you'd like to contribute, check out our projects on GitHub.
Like what we're doing? Want to encourage more stupid simple solutions?
Here's how you can enable our questionable decision-making:
Come hang out with other people who think our software makes sense. We can't promise intelligent conversation, but we can promise it'll be entertaining.
Watch us make dumb decisions in real-time. Star our repos, fork our code, and join the revolution of stupid simple solutions.
The more caffeine we consume, the dumber (and somehow more useful) our software gets. Help fuel our DumbIdeas.
No refunds, but we promise to spend your money on more coffee and possibly a rubber duck for debugging.
