Reverting experiments

Originally posted on the strackt devlog in January 2022, during the early build. Brought over so the whole journey lives in one place.

Experiments fail. And this week I got to experiment a lot, which means a lot of failures. The beauty of coding is that it's easy to revert and start again.

git branch -d docker-build

All these experiments do help a lot in finding out what works and what doesn't. I tend to dive way too deep into the rabbit holes, but I am pushing myself more and more to keep things simple. If it doesn't work after a couple of versions, it's probably not the simple and clean solution that I am looking for.

After the full reboot of the codebase, I have a better grip on how to keep things simple. Think but don't overthink. Try things, but don't fall in love. If it doesn't work, kill it. Revert, commit, revert, commit...
