I blew up my first real AI build back in 2022.

Thought I had it all figured out. Built this custom workflow for a local shop drowning in orders. Spent weeks coding it perfect.

It went live and crashed their whole system in under an hour.

Customers were pi**ed. The owner called me at 6am ready to quit on me.

That failure stuck with me harder than any win since. Taught me you can't just throw tech at a problem and walk away. You gotta sit with the people using it first.

Now every system we deploy starts with listening, not building. 💀

What was your biggest screw-up that shaped how you work today?

So it's 2am and I'm staring at another failed deploy.

Tried fixing the timeout three times already. Still nothing.

Finally got it running and pushed the update through. Client won't even know it happened.

Nobody sees these nights. You either keep shipping or you stop showing up. 💀
