It ran at 8am this morning. I spent the first hour just watching the logs tick over. What caught my eye was how quiet it was. No crashes, no flood of error messages. Just steady traffic.
That never happens on launch day. Or at least it never has for me. There is always something. A config file you forgot. A database connection that times out. But today it held. I do not know what to make of that yet.
Maybe the prep work paid off. Maybe we got lucky. But the fact that it ran without drama is the thing I will remember from today. Not the signups or the tweets. Just the silence.
