Today in "I fucked up".
A gal vibe coded her store, and she forgot to set the payment plugin to "production".
She literally lost six figures (CLP) in a single day. She only noticed when called me:

Brings up critically important conversationbs on running small self organising affinity groups and navigating community owned governance.
