The garage is a design studio

[DRAFT — starter article, replace with the real thing.]

Nobody designs a bolt to seize. It seizes because of fifteen years of rain, heat, and the wrong torque someone applied once and forgot. Software rots the same way — not from one bad decision, but from a hundred small ones nobody wrote down.
