Welcome to the trenches! I’m diving headfirst into the chaotic, wonderful world of DevOps and SDLC and CI/CD and whatnot. If you’re wondering what I’m doing, join the club—I often feel like Homer Simpson trying to operate the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.
This blog documents my first real project: building a self-hosted platform from scratch. I’m learning everything from bare-metal servers to cloud tunnels, and I’m tackling every bug with the relentless spirit of a cartoon father chasing a giant donut .
The Chaos and the Code
As we navigate this infrastructure landscape, let’s remember the wisdom of Springfield:
“If it’s too hard to do, then it’s not worth doing.” — Homer Simpson (A philosophy we promptly ignore here.)
On Monitoring:“Mmm… forbidden donut.” — Homer Simpson (That metric spike you promised yourself you wouldn’t touch.)
On Disaster Recovery:“Trying is the first step toward failure.” — Homer Simpson (A healthy cynicism when approaching the ‘Delete Production’ button.)
On Debugging:“You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.” — Homer Simpson (The morale boost needed after a major pipeline rollback.)
On Infrastructure:“What’s a man to do?” — Homer Simpson (The required thought process when faced with broken YAML config.)
