It’s interesting how heavy infrastructure work often feels abstract but can be incredibly valuable for long-term product stability and scalability. Sometimes, investing time upfront in robust infrastructure—even if it doesn’t produce immediate code—sets the stage for more efficient development and fewer technical debts later on. Deleting everything afterward suggests you might have realized that minimalist, well-designed foundations can be preferable to over-engineering. It highlights a crucial lesson: infrastructure work is often ongoing, iterative, and sometimes best approached with a mindset of continuous refinement rather than upfront perfection. Would love to hear more about what you learned during those two weeks!
