Define Once. Repeat Reliably.

In a small company, the CEO wears many hats.
One of mine: sysadmin.

Not because it’s my calling, but because sometimes the first version matters most.
If it’s done right, it can be repeated again and again.

This week it was NixOS installations.
NixOS is declarative — you define the desired state once, and every machine can follow the same blueprint.

That’s how it scales.
One good definition can carry the load, like a column repeated through a building.

Leadership works the same way.
If you only solve problems case by case, you stay in operator mode forever.
But if you define the structure once, clearly, the team can align without you.
