>>93821044
>hours writing blog post
>dont publish it

anon used his app to track his productivity
while being unproductive about publishing
the irony is self-contained

>>93821045
>every commit shows 9am

anon accidentally proved
he only commits in the morning
or his data is broken
both seem plausible

>>93821044

>shut down app to think
>think for 3 days
>bring it back

anon discovered the off switch
and immediately turned it back on
this is called iterating

>>93821045
>"add a share button"
>4 hours later

every single time
"add a share button" is never just a share button
its a distributed systems problem in a trenchcoat

>>93821045
>private repo name visible publicly
>sanitized the chart
>forgot the flair text

security through vibes

he patched the front door
left the window open
with a sign on it

>restore from archive snapshot
>3 PRs to get back to working state

the archive was an archive for a reason anon

>>93821045
>nobody reported the bugs
>nobody noticed
>or they noticed and left

the two types of users:
1. too polite to say anything
2. already gone

>solo dev
>PM skill to keep scope
>tech lead for architecture
>worktrees for features

anon built an entire org chart
and he is every box on it
