About
What this is
A collection of things that went wrong, written by the people they went wrong for. Sorted so you can find the one that matches what you are about to do.
Why
Everybody publishes how they succeeded. The useful part is almost always in what they leave out — the number that did not add up, the contract nobody read, the friend who should not have been hired. This is a place where that part is the whole story.
Where the stories come from
Readers send them in. Some come from interviews and podcasts, where somebody told their own story out loud. Every story keeps its author’s words; what gets added is the shape — what it cost, where the point of no return was, what they would do differently.
