Main reflection

In the tech world, like in any good program, there’s always a bug – often it’s human.
You can have impeccable code, but if your team doesn’t share core values, it’s like running Windows on a toaster.
Remember, building a resilient community is akin to programming – it requires patience, debugging, and sometimes a hard reset.
