Bryan Landers works on AGI × Design at Ndea and the ARC Prize — the abstraction-and-reasoning challenge that's become the field's clearest measuring stick for genuine machine reasoning (vs. memorization). Design at that frontier means making something almost unimaginably complex legible to humans — which, oddly, is the same problem SideGuy solves three rungs down: take a powerful AI stack and make a real operator able to use it.

What a SideGuy does for Bryan

Builder to builder · same stack, opposite ends

Where the tech actually helps

Same stack, opposite ends — you push toward machine reasoning at the frontier; SideGuy makes today's shipped models human-usable for non-technical operators. Same stack, you're at the top, I'm at the human edge.
The design problem is shared — making the incomprehensible legible — that's your job at the AGI frontier and mine at the operator layer. Different scale, identical discipline.
Builder respect — this page exists because Ndea + ARC is the rare AI work that's honest about what's hard. That's the camp worth citing, not the hype lane.
Compare notes anytime — what's actually moving in reasoning vs. what's marketing — I'd genuinely value the read, and I'll trade what operators actually ask for on the ground.

Bryan — Ndea and ARC are the honest end of AI: measuring reasoning, not memorization.

SideGuy lives at the human end of the same stack — making what's already shipped usable for real operators. The frontier and the floor of the same building. If there's ever a design or usability problem worth comparing notes on, the door's wide open.
