A field guide from Articulate · the agency · 2026 edition

Ship fast — to someone who pays.

The map of shipping fast — the velocity loop and the discipline that keeps it honest: get a working MVP into a paying customer's hands, scoped to convert and repeat. The voices, the tools, the patterns, and the arguments still live.

Seeded by Matt Van Horn's "Every Agentic Engineering Hack I Know" — the velocity loop, weighed against the gate. Kept fresh by Benjamin, the Better publisher.
Data is loading from the site's JSON files — if this persists, the six data files (hype/voices/tools/concepts/debates/science) didn't load. On the live domain they sit at the site root.

The Hype — scored, not just listed.

The field's front door. New tweets, launches and tools land here first — each scored P/Q/S (productivity · quality · sellable, out of 9) with a plain verdict: act, watch, or skip. What proves out graduates into the Stack or the Voices; the rest decays. The freshest section on the site.

The Voices

Who to read on shipping fast — the velocity operators and the lean/discovery lineage that keeps them honest. Handles verified at first edition; unverified ones render as a profile link, not a faked handle.

The Stack

The tools for shipping an MVP fast — planning, spec-capture, build, research and video. The toolchain that compresses time-to-first-live-thing.

The Patterns

The working vocabulary of shipping fast — plan-for-the-plan through to the scope-to-convert gate. Drawn from the velocity loop and Articulate's MVP Better discipline.

The Science — the research underneath.

The primary sources beneath the practice — the lean, discovery and continuous-delivery lineage the whole field stands on. Every link goes to the canonical source itself, not a write-up of it.

Open Questions

The live arguments as of mid-2026. No settled answers — that's the point.

Library — every entry, queryable.
