My First Broke

Every engineer has a story about the first time they broke something in production. This is that post.

What happened

Coming soon — this is a placeholder for the first real Broke post. The best stories come from actual incidents.

Why it happened

• Placeholder root cause
• Will be filled in with the real incident

What I'd do differently

The goal of Broke posts is to document failures honestly — root cause analysis, impact, and the fix. No sugar-coating.
