built a stock app in three minutes, broke it in five

The automated reminder system stopped delivering messages this week, which I found out the morning I had a mortgage deadline sitting in the queue. Zero notifications, had to scramble. Once that was sorted I got into the actual builds: a stock watchlist app went from nothing to running on my home network in about three minutes. I also built a pipeline where I can paste a tweet link and get back an audio file to listen to in the car, which sounds silly until you realize how much you can absorb on a 20-minute drive. The week ended with a recipe box app deployed to the internet, a grocery list generator built in, and a full Valentine's dinner planned and cooked out of it.
