Why This Works

The Rail Is Powerful. The Layer Is What Gets You Moving.

The tools are the same ones engineers use. The configuration, conventions, and support layer make the difference between something you use every day and something that sits unused.

The Rail
Terminal · GitHub · Claude · Automation Tools
Powerful tools built for engineers. Available to everyone — but the setup and defaults matter a lot for non-technical operators.
SideGuy Layer
Setup · Local Defaults · First Win · Plain-English Runbook
Configured for how a San Diego local business actually operates. Not a generic tech stack.
