One of the core beliefs that grounds our work is simple: the people building your software should actually know you.

That’s why we don’t offshore.

Not because it’s trendy to say “U.S.-based,” but because trust doesn’t survive across five time zones and three layers of translation.

When your tech team is close enough to understand the way your business thinks, the work is cleaner, faster, and built with intention instead of guesswork.

We show up, we communicate, and we take ownership , because that’s the only way to build software that doesn’t unravel under pressure.

This is who we are, and it’s why our clients stay: clarity over shortcuts, partnership over production lines, and real people you can actually count on.

Every week on Biz/Dev, we get to sit across from people who remind us why honest conversations matter.

The founders, operators, and leaders who’ve joined us didn’t just fill airtime; they shaped the show into something people come back to.

They shared the decisions that kept them up at night, the pivots that saved them, and the lessons they earned the hard way.

They trusted us with the parts of their story that don’t usually make it into keynote talks or press releases.

That trust is what gives this podcast its pulse.

Thank you to every guest who pulled back the curtain and made the work behind the scenes feel seen.

You’re the reason Biz/Dev feels less like a podcast and more like a series of conversations people actually want to learn from.

And if you’ve listened along, now you know: it’s the guests who make this thing what it is.

Solving real problems takes more than good tech.

It takes grit — and Jon Gamble has plenty of it.

Jon’s the Co-Founder and CTO of Fordje, and the one-person engineering team trying to fix one of construction’s biggest headaches.

Here are Jon’s 3 rules for building something that actually matters:

1️⃣ Lean on your network.

2️⃣ Take care of yourself.

3️⃣ Stay rooted in your why.

It’s a good season to look around and appreciate the partnerships that actually make the work stronger.

The ones that aren’t just signatures and handoffs, but real collaboration, curiosity, shared effort, honest conversations, and a sense that everyone cares about the outcome.

We’re fortunate to have partners like that.

What we’re really grateful for is the way they work with us.

The trust. The creativity. The part where they make the hard stuff easier and the good ideas better.

THANK YOU!

We used to fear AI would take our jobs. Now we fear it can’t take basic instructions.

A year ago, people were using ChatGPT to write novels, debug code, run marketing campaigns, and brainstorm business plans.

Today?

They're rage-canceling subscriptions because it can’t remember a single setting, follow a single instruction, or stop doing the very things users explicitly asked it not to do.

This isn't a hypothetical warning.

It's happening in real time.

And the wild part?

We thought we were the only ones feeling it.

Today is Entrepreneurs Day, and the new Biz/Dev episode just so happens to feature one of the most relentless founders we’ve met: Jon Gamble, CTO and Co-Founder of Fordje.

Jon’s a one-person engineering team taking on one of the ugliest pain points in construction — the chaos of building codes.

He’s building the AI platform that finally makes sense of it, saving developers from the delays and bottlenecks that kill momentum and cost millions.

He’s the kind of founder who doesn’t chase noise. He chases the real problem underneath it.

Perfect day to celebrate people like Jon who take on the work most folks overlook.

Launching a new platform in a traditional industry meant navigating old habits and integrating modern tools.

With Bignition, we built automation into every step—quoting, enrollment, billing—all in one place.

Close collaboration and relentless testing made the difference, letting insurance teams focus on clients, not paperwork.

This week on the Biz/Dev Podcast we sat down with Jon Gamble, Co-Founder and CTO of Fordje — and the only developer I know who looked at the chaos of U.S. building codes and said, “Yeah, I can fix that.”

He’s tackling one of the biggest hidden costs in construction and doing it with the kind of focus you only see from founders who care about real-world change.

STAY TUNED TOMORROW.

We Built AI to Help People—Not Replace Them

Amazon plans to cut up to 30,000 corporate jobs.

Officially, it’s about “efficiency.”

Quietly, it’s about something else: AI is here, and someone decided people weren’t.

Leaders everywhere are looking at AI and asking themselves a hard question: “If the machines can do it, do I still need the people?”

At Big Pixel, we think that’s the wrong question entirely.

And we’re not saying that as AI critics—we’re an AI-forward development shop. We use it. We build with it. We teach it to our clients.

But we were founded on the idea that software isn’t just about code. It’s about trust. And if you build systems by gutting the people inside them, you’re not being innovative. You’re being shortsighted.

So when headlines start treating people as an acceptable casualty of “AI transformation,” we might have something to say about that.

Building something people actually love makes everything easier.

That’s what Ryan O’Donnell, Co-Founder and CEO of Sunlight, believes at his core.

You can chase funding, hire fast, and push new features—but if people don’t love what you’ve built, none of it matters.

Ryan’s top tip for founders is simple:

Build something people love and use. When your product truly works, everything else—growth, marketing, retention—gets easier.
