The Auto Project — Field Log
The whole thing started 5 Oct, when our R5 messaged me: “you’re the tech guy — figure out this auto thing, it’s eating the season.” This space is the journal I kept while pulling the thread. It stays deliberately rough. Days with day-job fires stay empty. Good weeks and bad weeks are both in here, because that’s what an honest log looks like.
Why journal at all?
Tech people journal for the same reason pilots log flights — not for an audience, but because
writing forces the fuzzy parts to resolve. This vault publishes automatically; I don’t curate it
for readers. Some pages are marked publish: false and stay private — where you see a
grey lock,
that’s one of them.
