Chapter 1 - The System I InheritedI walked into a system that wasn't broken, just impossible to change. Years of decisions stacked on top of each other, still growing, still fragile, and somehow expected to become something better without ever slowing down.Chapter 2 - Trying to Fix What Wasnt Designed to Be FixedI wasn't fixing the old system. I was building its replacement while a full team kept adding to what it was supposed to replace. The foundation worked. The environment around it didn't.Chapter 3 - When You Realize Its Not Going To ChangeI explained everything clearly. What was wrong, why it mattered, how to fix it. It wasn't ignored. It was acknowledged. And then nothing changed. That's when I realized the problem wasn't understanding.Chapter 4 - Leaving Without Burning BridgesI didn't leave because things were hard. I left because they weren't going to change. At some point, the question stops being how to fix it, and becomes whether you should still be there.
