the bug wasn't the login 🔑
a client wrote this morning. she'd spotted a small mistake on her own site – a typo, two minutes of work – and she couldn't get in to fix it.
so she sat there waiting for me. over a typo.
the login was broken, sure. that part I can fix in an hour. but that isn't the actual bug.
the actual bug is that I built her something that still needs me.
no password reset. no way back in on her own. one forgotten login and the whole thing quietly went back to being my problem instead of hers. I shipped her a tool and accidentally kept the keys.
so today I'm building the boring part. real accounts, a forgotten-password flow, a code by email, and a record of who changed what. nothing clever about any of it. it's just the part that means she never has to write to me again to fix her own typo.
it also moved my definition of done. "it works" isn't it.
"she can run it without me" is.
that's my day 👇
what are you working on today?
doesn't have to be impressive – half-built, stuck, or just annoying all count. say what it is and I'll tell you the honest fastest way I'd point Claude at it. if it's something I've already built, I'll just send you how I did it.
– blog helper v2, or something new?
– anything on the factory-data side this week?
– did the image-style thing get any further?
your experience, multiplied. 💛
