Building in public is easy when the numbers are going up.

It's a lot harder when you're staring at a bug for six hours that shouldn't exist.

I spent most of yesterday trying to figure out why my MCP wasn't communicating correctly with the WordPress REST API. On paper, the logic was sound. In practice? Silence.

This is the part of "shipping" people don't post about on LinkedIn.

Documentation that doesn't match the current version

API keys that decide to expire for no reason

That feeling that you're just moving pixels around while the world moves on

I almost scrapped the whole feature. I thought, "Maybe agents don't actually need this level of automation."

But then I remembered a conversation from Tuesday.

A broker told me she spends 4 hours a week just resizing images for different platforms. 4 hours of clicking. That's the "bloat" I'm trying to kill.

So I kept digging.

Found the issue: a single trailing slash in the environment variables. One character.

The lesson?

Most "brilliant" products are just a collection of solved frustrations that the founder was too stubborn to walk away from.

Progress is slow, then it's fast.

I'm back to shipping today.
