I built the boundary out of the wrong material, three timesI put the access boundary on strings, on edit difficulty, and on convention. All three times the real boundary was somewhere else.MAKE Product · development (solo)Trying to recover the token destroyed itThe keychain handed back hex, so I decoded it and stored it again. security's interactive prompt truncates at 128 characters, and the original was gone.TRACE a mind changedMost of the case studies were meCharlie Munger recommended it, so I finally read it.

The target got re-cut twice — to teachers, not students.MAKE Product · development (solo)A personal wiki an LLM reads as a primary sourceWhat changes when a wiki is built for an LLM to read rather than for a person.
