ICOVER2026 / WORKSHOP
A workshop
for software,
websites, and
quiet counsel.
Practice
Literature & Code is a small studio building software for operators who care how a thing is made. Code and prose, treated as one discipline.
IITHE PRACTICESEVEN DISCIPLINES
Seven ways to commission us.
Each practice is its own door into the workshop. The work behind them is the same: careful reading of the problem, careful writing of the solution.
- [01]WebsitesMarketing sites and editorial systems. Designed to be read, built to be fast, written to last longer than the next rebrand.
- [02]SaaS BuildsProduct software, from first prototype to scale. Boring stack, sharp execution. The interesting work happens above the database.
- [03]Mobile AppsApps for iOS and Android. Native where it matters, cross-platform where it pays — built to feel like a home-screen app, not a wrapped web view.
- [04]AIAI features that earn their keep. Retrieval over your real data, evals before deploy, and a unit-cost you can quote — not another chatbot taped onto the homepage.
- [05]Cloud SupportCloud infrastructure as a service. AWS, GCP, or Hetzner set up sensibly the first time, then quietly looked after — observability, cost, and a real human at the end of the alert.
- [06]CounselConsultations and architecture reviews. We will tell you the truth about your codebase, your roadmap, and the bill we'd hand you for fixing it.
- [07]Shadow CTOQuiet, ongoing technical leadership. Your name on the door, ours in the corner — hiring, architecture, and the calls nobody else wants to make.
IIIHOUSE PRINCIPLESFOUR / FOUR
We have opinions.
Most of them are unfashionable. All of them are paid for in scars.
- № 01
Code is read more than it is written. We work for the reader.
- № 02
The boring stack ships. We use it without apology.
- № 03
If you cannot explain it to your client, it is wrong.
- № 04
Constraint is craft. We charge for taste, not for hours.
