Ha - well here we are. This post is, indeed, intentionally hyperbolic. It's a reflection on the fact that making all of these mistakes with my own stuff allows me to make better choices at work - and provides a constant canary project where the stakes are lower, but it's actually hosted...so it strikes a good balance of continued learning and experimentation for me. It's also an experiment in firing blog posts sooner - keeping them "living" in the sense that I can always update them quickly later. Some of the contrived examples I chose didn't really hit their mark, for example, so I'll probably revise them later. Thanks for the feedback :)
