🧠 Learned the Hard Way This is where the scars live. Post here when: - something cost you money - something broke - a customer burned you - you trusted the wrong person - you learned a lesson the expensive way What belongs: - mistakes you won’t repeat - jobs that went sideways - equipment failures - bad assumptions - hard-earned clarity What doesn’t: - blaming everyone else - rewriting history to look good - “I knew better” after the fact - advice with no experience behind it This category isn’t about being right.It’s about being honest. If it hurt a little to learn, it probably belongs here. Say what happened. Say what you missed. Say what you’d do differently. These posts save other people money.
