From Custom Scripts to Products: Interoperability, Scale, and the Speckle Way
From Custom Scripts to Products: Interoperability, Scale, and the Speckle Way
Turning a one-off script into a product used by thousands is not just a technical lift—it’s product work.
Dimitrie Stefanescu (Founder and CEO of Speckle) unpacks the trade-offs between highly specific tools and the generalization required to scale, why open ecosystems matter, and how building on Speckle enables interoperability across Revit, Rhino, Archicad and other data sources.
We also dig into the hard realities of authoring/documentation at scale and why “free” isn’t a substitute for accountability.
