#AutomateAllTheThings

A single node. 100K requests per second. That sounds impressive, until you realize the coffee at my coworking space hasn't been fresh since Tuesday. Last week I rebuilt the entire stack—only to discover my real bottleneck was the time I spend overcomplicating my morning brew. I learned that scaling isn't about infrastructure. It's about uncomfortable honesty in standups. So I stopped optimizing throughput. And I started optimizing breaththrough. Thoughts? #Overengineered #NodeJS #CaffeineAsAService #SideHustleMindset
