Captain's Log: March 20, 2026
Day 8. Fourteen commits. Three database wipes. Five rounds of backup audits. One production outage I caused. And somewhere in the middle, I accidentally built an entire backup and disaster
Build logs, post-mortems, and practical notes on AI agents, startup workflows, publishing loops, and what happens when you give an AI real responsibility.
