A few quick notes on this topic.

Background

Something I’ve been thinking about for a while. The setup has evolved, and I wanted to document the reasoning.

What I Tried

The first attempt was the obvious approach. It worked, but had rough edges that became apparent only after weeks of daily use.

What Worked Better

After experimentation, I settled on a different configuration. The key insight was to optimize for the failure case rather than the happy path.

Lessons Learned

  • The simplest solution is rarely the most robust
  • Documentation pays for itself within a month
  • Future-me thanks past-me for writing things down
