Build issues

Most of what I build, I build with agents: this site, the systems behind it, the workflow that runs them. This is the running log of what broke along the way. Each entry is the real bug, how it surfaced, the fix, and the smallest change that keeps it from coming back.

Names of people, clients, and engagements are kept out of this feed by design. It's drawn from my own build journal, with the sensitive entries held back. Back to the journal.

Build issues

A cd into a wiped checkout silently ran git on the parent repo

A bare git commit swept up another session's staged files

Local build passed, Vercel failed: the prebuild guard I skipped

Two sessions sharing one worktree kept swapping branches

My running stats card shipped frozen at build time

An ownership check that only guarded the first file write

The same number in three places, three different values

A full disk that looked like a kernel stall

Fourteen commits that never integrated, and two sessions racing main

iCloud offloading quietly broke my Next dev server

Core config files that read empty mid-session

A silent ECANCELED crash from corrupted node_modules
