Dev reflection - january 22, 2026

from Polymathic · host Paul Welty

Hey, it's Paul. January 22nd, 2026. Today was a launch day, which means it was also a "things broke immediately" day. Dialex went live at dialex.io, and the first thing that happened was every request got blocked with a 403 Forbidden error. I talk about reasonable decisions accumulating into unreasonable situations, why iteration speed matters more than initial tool choice, and how dashboards make accumulated state visible.
