As an engineer-turned-CEO, you can spend ∞ hours at your colo making everything perfect. It's kind of nice, the hum of loud machines, headphones on, fully locked in and focused.
So we pre-schedule maintenance windows (most recent was last night from 8p-12a). That way you have to plan your todos in advance, double-check against inventory, and finally, get it done.

Be prepared for the urge to run your own bare metal in a colo.
More expensive
More time consuming
More involved
More sweat

Moved from AWS → Render → Hetzner + Dokploy. AWS: $100/mo, 3 services, IAM & networking hell, surprise bills etc. Render: $40/mo for very low/basic specs, meh control (but still nice to work with) Hetzner + Dokploy: $5-10/mo, full VPS, full control One-click deploys. Traefik reverse proxy. Auto SSL. Postgres/Redis included. GitHub Actions ready. Same app. 95% cost reduction. 10min setup. Actually fun. Next step: Raspberry Pi in my closet. Then I’ll grow up and over-engineer everything with K8s like a real adult 🫡

I've used Gmail for 20 years. Almost 2M emails, 150K attachments. Rather than let Google hold my data hostage, I built msgvault: local-first email archive with a terminal UI and MCP server, powered by DuckDB. Open source, single Go binary.

You’ve finally accepted the inevitable promotion to the position where others think you can do the least amount of damage, but a life spent inspiring humans to question the status quo left a mark that no promotion or re-org can ever erase.
Rest in Peace, @ScottAdamsSays.
