A candid technical self-audit of a single-operator, multi-GPU local-LLM platform built with concurrent AI coding agents.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-23 issue.

Why it surfaced

The page inventories the wreckage in unusually concrete terms: roughly 1.37 million lines of Python, 15 agents, 27 services, and more than 10,000 commits, with no proven after-cost result. It also preserves hard-won engineering lessons, from atomic file claims to a WSL2 outage that fell from 20.6 hours to a stated five-minute worst case.
