Why Follow These Build-Alongs?

Real projects, real decisions, and the bugs that came with them

Built in Order

Chapters follow the actual git history — scaffold first, then the boring parts, then the parts that broke.

Bugs Included

No sanitized "and then it just worked" writeups — the wrong turns and real fixes are part of the story.

Shipped, Not Just Coded

Every series ends with a real deployment, including the failures that came before it worked.
