Servers crash. Updates break things. Plans change.
I document the builds, the mistakes and the fixes.
No polished success stories. Just the actual process.

Experiments, infrastructure and ideas that got out of hand.
03 / THE POINT OF ALL THIS

The wrong turns, second attempts, upgrades that weren't upgrades, and small wins worth remembering.
