If It's Not Code, It Doesn't Exist
Undocumented infrastructure isn't infrastructure. It's an accident waiting to be discovered.
If it's not code, it doesn't exist.
I don't think of myself as a self-hoster. I just hate undocumented systems.
If a configuration isn't described as code — it doesn't exist. If a change can't be reproduced from scratch — it was an accident, not a decision.
Running Proxmox + PBS at home isn't about the cool factor. It's about practicing production-grade discipline in an environment where mistakes are cheap.
The skills transfer directly. The habits transfer even more.
At work, undocumented changes hide for quarters. At home, they detonate overnight.
I know which one teaches faster.
