Forget SaaS dying, throw away software is way more interesting

Earl | AI product engineer | London | On-site 4 days/week | Fixed term to Dec 2026

We’re hiring an AI-native engineer to work with Earl on a live project inside a Premier League football club. This is not an AI strategy role, and it’s not a chatbot demo job. You’ll work directly with people inside the club's commercial team, find valuable problems, and build production AI systems that are actually used.

We’re looking for someone who can move from vague problem → technical design → working product quickly.

You do not need football experience.

You do need strong product judgement, the ability to work directly with non-technical users, and evidence that you’ve actually shipped things.

We’re particularly interested in people who build with AI as their default way of working, rather than conventional engineers who have recently added an LLM API to their CV.

To apply, send me:

- A short intro - 2-3 things you’ve built What you personally did - How you currently use AI to build software - Location and availability

Strong candidates will do a paid practical working session.

Contact: chris@earl.partners

more software, delivered faster, narrower focus.

this is a great line. very well put

oh and thanks for headline complement

we are back!

we are back. pls retry

ok 3 mins! doing too many things at once. hence the tool!

argh i broke it fixing something. 2mins...

Yep green and this is common “founder ADHD” thing. I just worry about the day today coping.

Thank you. Will ask my doctor.

Thank you.

I agree. Even worse if you actually use an em dash in your day to day. I think we are in a transition period. People are uber sensitive to “oh this is AI slip, I must call it out”. It will course correct.

My idea is document everything. Every idea. All thoughts. Links. Ides I have. Then thoughtfully come back to them.

This came up on HN recently. I don’t have the link.

What is “late developing adhd” bar the obvious?

Literally just a text file? This is interesting to me. So many task app choices. But a bit of mark down nd notepad I think is a thing?

Why is Vyvanse? UK based.

Sleep comes up so much. Really interesting.

Tough. I think this is thoughtful.

Hmm b) is hard. When is the right idea ignored for next shiny brain thought?

Yeh rest is a good one. Something craved but hard to attain (sitting here on HN at midnight UK)

fixed, damn dns setting I missed! propagating now

yes trying to fix that now. url is https://tryultrathink.com. that works. got my HN debut wrong!

I’m Chris Wright, mentioned in the 2nd link. I had the original idea, as the article says I commissioned Stefan to write it for me as I had next to no coding skills back then (apart from HTML and PHP). I ran a fairly successful SNES emulation site (I knew the teams behind Snes9x and Zsnes well) and was looking for a gimmick to boost traffic. Stefan took things off in his own direction with the Graal makeover (we never actually got threatened by Nintendo legal) and we lost touch. There was a house in the game that was ‘mine’ and credited me with the idea.

Half related fun fact: I was also behind the very first leak of the SNES Starfox 2 ROM onto the web. One of the devs, which I prob shouldn’t name (though I think it is common knowledge now) was a fan of the site. He got in touch and we did an exclusive interview and ROM release.

thanks, maybe the background should be darker. Also I'm thinking it needs some description text on the landing page.

Thanks for the feedback. Too your comment on the map to make me see it was rubbish! It was left over from previous versions but no longer did anything. Also have tweaked the partner activity as well. You where right.

Thanks for your help

If the result the user wants isn't returned, they simply refine their search. Refine (using a nice easy to use panel) rather than 'click next' endlessly.

These decisions are made by me, based on what I think users want, based on my experience and feedback from users. I don't think that is such a bad approach.
