I started a CCTV/monitoring biz thinking it was "infrastructure as hardware." I was wrong.I’ve been bleeding money on a school project due to:Voltage drop/PoE limits over 100m.Bad labor: No "git revert" for a hole drilled in the wrong place.Workmanship: My "clean code" mindset is failing in the "meatspace" of messy cabling.To those who moved from software to physical infrastructure:How do you enforce "clean" workmanship with manual labor?What are your must-have tools for the physical layer?How do you stop "scope creep" when you're 10 meters up a ladder?
I’ve been bleeding money on a school project due to:
Voltage drop/PoE limits over 100m.
Bad labor: No "git revert" for a hole drilled in the wrong place.
Workmanship: My "clean code" mindset is failing in the "meatspace" of messy cabling.
To those who moved from software to physical infrastructure:
How do you enforce "clean" workmanship with manual labor?
What are your must-have tools for the physical layer?
How do you stop "scope creep" when you're 10 meters up a ladder?
